The iTunes/QuickTime installer will fail with a "VBScript not installed" error on some installations of Vista. I'm not sure exactly what leads to this situation as it does not seem to affect all Vista users, but there is a relatively simple fix:
regsvr32 vbscript.dll
This will re-register VBScript and allow the iTunes installer to run.
Windows Vista will not work with Mac OS X Windows file sharing support by default. If you attempt to access a folder shared from Mac OS X, Vista will display a logon error repeatedly.
The problem is that Vista, by default, will only use NTLMv2 for authentication, which is not supported by Mac OS X's Windows Sharing service.
To get around this:
Now you should be able to access your Mac OS X shares.
You might also have this problem accessing Samba shares on Linux or Unix systems running an older version of Samba. The same fix should work in this case as well. Current versions of Samba support NTLMv2.
