registering msxml4.dll

[dontee]

I've just written a small VB program that extracts data from a XML file and writes it into text file using msxml4. That bit was easy enough. My problem is when I try to deploy the application, msxml4.dll refuses to register on the target machine. I keep getting an error mesage - LoadLibrary("C:\Winnt\systems32\msxml4.ddl&quot failed. GetLastError returns 0x00007e. Anyone has any ideas what might be causing this?

There is much more to the XML library than just that one DLL. You should redistribute the MSXML4 SP2 setup program with your application, or make it a prerequisite and have the users install it first from MSDN.

Thx for your reply chiph. I have tried that. I downloaded msxml4.cab from the MSDN site. When I extract that unto the target machine it copies over all the DLLs but fails to register them. When I try to manually register it, I get the error above. This happens only on the target machine (a server running NT 4); I've managed to successfully register it on a couple of other test machines.

Sorry, I don't know, then.
