Use Depends.exe to find out what dll's it uses and see if anything is missing ( depends.exe is installed with c++ i think in VS)
The other thing that it can be, is that the first entry in the registry for the dll points to a empty place, ie someone registred the dll then deleted it without unregistering. you can try getting an old copy of RegClean.exe and removing any old references, or if your using XP with idiot mode on, you have to remove every reference to the existing dll and it's parent keys from the registry. but back it up first.
