Windows Script custom actions should be avoided. They are difficult to debug, get blocked by virus scanners, and are far more susceptible to machine state than native custom actions. That is indicated by Windows Installer error messages 2738 and 2739, which read:

• 2738, Could not access VBScript run time for custom action [2].
  
  
• 2739, Could not access JScript run time for custom action [2].
