Failed to access IIS metabase
This error was happening when I first tried using ASP.NET on the XP Machines we have in the office. I tried adjusting the permission using MetaAcl Tool, but that did not do it for me. After further research on “Failed to access IIS metabase” error it appeared that when .Net is installed prior to installing IIS this error will occur.
To fix the problem, just run the following command to reinstall APS.NET and reupdated the permissions:
%windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\aspnet_regiis.exe -i
If that does not work, you can try adjusting the permissions as shown in the following Microsoft article:

Error code 2738 When Installing iTunes + Quicktime on Windows Vista
I just downloaded the latest iTumes version, but when I tried to install it, I got the following error:
The installer has encountered an unexpected error installing this package. This may indicate a problem with this package. The error code is 2738.
After research I found the following link:

The solution was to re-register vbscript.dll. I also selected “Run as Administrator” option when I reran after reregistering the dll.
To register the dll, please do the following:
- On the Start menu, click Run.
- In the “Open” field, enter the following command and click OK.
regsvr32 vbscript.dll - A message should appear stating that the “DllRegisterServer in C:\WINDOWS\system32\vbscript.dll succeeded.”
- Click OK and try installing iTunes or QuickTime again.
Thanks for Apple Support for the posting…
