Can't Install FAX for Windows XP? Try this to manually reinstall it ;-)

After a long time spent I came up with this:

to reinstall FAX service and the FAX printer:

Copy everything between the ***** into notepad [Don't copy any
astericks, *]

************************************************** ****
set obj = CreateObject("FaxControl.FaxControl.1")

if not obj.IsFaxServiceInstalled then
WScript.echo "Installing Fax Service..."
obj.InstallFaxService
obj.InstallLocalFaxPrinter
elseif not obj.IsLocalFaxPrinterInstalled then
WScript.echo "Reinstalling Fax Printer..."
obj.InstallFaxService
obj.InstallLocalFaxPrinter
else
WScript.echo "Fax printer is ready to go."
end if
************************************************** *****

save the file as ReinstallFax.vbs, then open the ReinstallFax.vbs
from where y0u saved it.


This works for me on WinXP Pro.
My problem was using the Optional Components then clicking fax doesn't
work or install.


Also if you have an Error: "Fax printers are inaccessible" message go
to http://www.filesaveas.com/solutions.html and download his
fixfax.reg and merge/open it, then execute the ReinstallFax.vbs file
above
