DLL Registration Problem

[jschweg]

Here is a problem that is eluding me completley, prehaps someone can provide some insight.

I have a web application which registers a DLL, located in the windows/system32 directory.

If I manually type regsvr32 dllname.dll it fails saying the module could not be found. It is essentially saying that it can't locate the file because I get the same error if I type regsvr32 dllname.dlx

I've tried running regsvr from the same path as where the file is, I've tried putting it in quotes, I've tried putting the full path to the file in the command. No dice. I've never had this problem under win2k and it is only happening on SOME 2003 servers. My test server works fine. Any ideas?

enable in explorer 'hidden/system - files' to display.
If hidden/system - files not displayed in explorer they where also disabled on the commandline and other progs interact with the explorer.
Make the test on the commandline with dir /b (/s | findstr -i dllname)[/red] and look at the output ...
