Is the Jscript.dll file unique to the computer?

I plan on copying the Jscript.dll from one of my other computers (with the same operating system) to my current computer because the one on my current computer has been merged identically by a .reg file.

So is it possible to copy and paste it on to a flash drive, transfer the file to my current computer, then run Regsvr32 "C:\Windows\System32\jscript.dll" on the command prompt? After that, reboot.

Personally, I'd find the proper installer. It sounds like your proposition won't be harmful, given it's the same OS, but you may require more than just one dll and registry settings. – Hand-E-Food Oct 12 '11 at 0:29
I know that jscript.dll is the only file because the only error message I've been receiving is for that one file. – Amy Dee Oct 12 '11 at 20:25
And what's an installer? (/newb at this) – Amy Dee Oct 12 '11 at 20:26
That error message indicated Jscrict.dll is the first file that is missing. It may be the only one, but there's nothing to say that JScript.dll doesn't require other missing files. I just had a look and JScript.dll requires 41 other files and up to 214 files depending on what it's used for. I doubt you'll do any harm with what you suggested, so long as you don't replace anything. Give it a shot and see if it works. – Hand-E-Food Oct 12 '11 at 22:14
I downloaded a .reg fixer from winhelponline.com/articles/230/1/… . I read somewhere that the Vista version would work for Windows 7 as well. It didn't since it gave me a new error (first error was a 'There is no script engine' error. Now it's a 800a1391 error. What do you mean by JScript.dll requires 41 other files? Do I have to replace those as well? – Amy Dee Oct 12 '11 at 22:35
