RegSvr32

[JonathanBriggs]

Hello,

I have been trying to register a custom dll on a windows XP machine. This dll registers fine on other XP systems however on this one it fails and returns error code 0x80004005. Apparently this could be happening for any number of reasons like dependencies, permissions, etc. Can I use Regmon to help me diagose why? If so can someone give me a run down of what i need to do or what im looking out for?

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks

Try Dependency Walker to verify dependancies. Also, this error could be caused by a hosed registry (wrong entries and such). A registry clean tool like CCleaner might fix this.

Hello,

Thanks for the prompt reply! This Dependency Walker application will list minimum set of required files for my dll to work. What should i do with this list?

Thanks

With the list you can verify if the minimum set of required files is present (and properly registered etc.) on the XP machine that gives the registration error.

I would indeed say using procmon while running regsvr32 against your .dll would be a good idea. 80040005 is access denied, and procmon would likely show why.
