Error message when you run a script that is encoded by using Script Encoder (Screnc.exe) in Windows Server 2003 or in Windows XP

Consider the following scenario:

• You use Script Encoder (Screnc.exe) to encode a script.
• You run the encoded script on a computer that is running Windows Server 2003 or Windows XP.

In this scenario, you receive an error message that resembles the following:Note The Screnc.exe script encoder uses the Jscript.dll file or the Vbscript.dll file to encode a script. The Jscript.dll file or the Vbscript.dll file is included in Windows Internet Explorer 7.

This problem occurs because the non-encoded scripts use comments as encoding markers. These comments resemble one of the following:

• '**Start Encode** for Microsoft Visual Basic Scripting Edition (VBScript)
• //**Start Encode** for JScript

These comments and the lines that come before them should be visible in the encoded script. However, they are invisible.
