Local Users and Groups Error

[Yaron Maor]

Hi,

I can't open the "Local users and groups" snap-in nither from MMC nor
"Computer Management".
I get the error message: "Unable to accesses the computer … The error was:
Invalid Syntax. "
I can't open the user account control panel icon either.
As recommended in different threads, I already have the following components
included (I'm using XPE SP2):
Users Control Panel
Administration Support Tools
MsXml 3.1
I don't have any dependencies errors and I'm not sure how to solve it.

thanks,

YaronM

Just in case you do not have a fix for this yet, try this vbscript I found on
the web:

BaseKey = "HKCR\CLSID\{0000031A-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}\"

On Error resume Next

WshShell.RegWrite BaseKey, "ClassMoniker", "REG_SZ"
WshShell.RegWrite BaseKey & "InprocServer32\", "ole32.dll", "REG_SZ"

Wshshell.RUN ("regsvr32.exe ole32.dll /s")

MsgUser = Msgbox ("OLE registration fix completed", 4160, "OLE registration

Set WshShell = Nothing
