RegSvr32 error 0x80004005

[kro]

I'm using WinPE 2004 (OPK) and I've created a bootable CD based on an english WindowsXP slipstreamed with SP2.

I've manually added the files for MSXML3 SP5, i.e. msxml3.dll, msxml3a.dll, msxml3r.dll to \i386\system32, but trying to registering it with

RegSvr32 msxml3.dll

the error-code 0x80004005 was displayed.

Also observed: this error also occurs trying to register the following COMs - present by default (i.e. not added manually) on WinPE:

shdocvw.dll

browseui.dll

winhttp.dll

Any help is really appreciated. Thank You!

MSXML, the other binaries you noted, and several others (try MSHTML for example) all have this nasty habit of pulling a file out of themselves when registered, and then processing the contents of that file. Creative, yes. Pretty? Not when you're running from CD. You either need to figure out what's in that file, include it, and install it properly, or create a RAMDrive and point to it as your TEMP location. That should work.

MSXML2 will work if you point %TMP% to a writable location. Good luck with msxml3 though...

Register XML using a .REG file (attached). Apply it using regedit /s xml.reg

XML.zip
