<snip from http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;Q207132> Most often, RegSvr32.exe fails because the LoadLibrary , DllRegisterServer , or DllUnregisterServer function fails. LoadLibrary can fail if the DLL is not in the specified path, or if the specified path is incorrect. LoadLibrary can also fail if one of the dependencies of the DLL that you are trying to load is not met; in other words, if a dependent DLL is not present or is not in the specified path.
NOTE: You can use the Depends.exe tool to check whether or not all of the dependencies of your DLL are met. Depends.exe is included with the Microsoft Platform Software Development Kit (SDK), which ships with Microsoft Visual Studio. </snip> According to the article that I am finding (there is more useful info at that link), the problem is probably occurring because it is lacking the associated dependent DLL files. If you have the Depends.exe tool they mention, it will probably help you figure out what files you may be missing. Also, that technet page has a program written in C that does the same thing as regsvr32.exe, that you can customize to help you troubleshoot and identify where the breakdown is occurring. I wish I could help more, R.A.
