Hi

I'm trying to register a DLL, but somehow I can't manage to do that, I end
up with a error message "Unable to find module" or something. I'm trying to
achive this by using regsvr32.exe from the syswow folder, but it cannot be
done. Has someone encourted this before? If so, please help, I need to
configure a production server, and I'm running out of time.

Thx

If the module you're trying to register is a 32-bit DLL, then you would use
the one in the %windir%\SYSWOW64 folder. If, however, it's a 64-bit DLL, you
need to use the one in the %windir%\System32 folder.

command line is straightforward

cd /d <fullpath to where the dll is>
%WinDir%\System32\regsvr32 <dll name>


Or, if it's a 32bit DLL, then substitute SYSWOW64 for System32

That covers it. Change to the directory of the dll you're registering, and
use the proper regsrv32. I've not had it fail. If you're still having
problems, I suggest posting a question over on one of the MSDN forums.

Just curious, Charlie - what happens if you are having the object high-lited
in your filemanager in order to get the name right, and then issue that
command? I'm not really aware of what is going on in the process of
registering, but I suspect it would (could) involv system access to the
file?

no clue. I can't imagine doing it that way, since I'm always more
comfortable at the command line anyway.

However, if you don't have the permissions, you WILL get a failure. So it
needs to be an administrative window if you're running Vista with UAC on (as
I am).

This isn't anything I do all that often, obviously, but I have written a
couple of batch file installers for 64bit programs. This is how I had to do
it.
