regsvr32 Access Denied

[dmalpas]

Hi

I am trying to reg a DLL but I keep getting an Access Denied error

I have admin right anyone seen this before

Perhaps the dll is in use?
Are you totally sure you are an admin on the machine?

Hi

Yep I have admin rights

I have just found that it works on some machines and not others as well - but I cannot see any thing different between the builds though

Does the dll run under infamous IUSR_machinename
context that by default does not have proper registry access?
If so then
Use registry access 1.0. It allows components to create,
delete and update registry values while under the i_user account its from microsoft.
If not then let me know.

The error occurs when:

. A DCOM object is involved, and DCOMCNFG has not been used first;

. or, more likely, the DLL is dependent on other DLLs that have not been registered prior to this DLL registration.

 

[dmalpas]

Sounds like this could be the answer

How do you use DCOMCNFG

Just had a quick look on M$ Site and could see any thing

Cheers

DCOMCNFG.EXE should be in your SYSTEM32 directory.

Start, Run, CMD
dcomcnfg.exe

Cheers

Will let you know how I get on later

My bet though would be on the second reason I gave earlier as the cause.

http://support.microsoft.com/defaul...port/kb/articles/q249/8/73.asp&NoWebContent=1

Regsvr32.exe and Dependencies.

RegSvr32.exe depends on the Kernel32.dll, User32.dll, and Ole32.dll files (and the Msvcrt.dll and Advapi32.dll files in Windows NT). Regsvr32.exe loads the file you are trying to register or un-register, along with all of its dependencies. The process may be unsuccessful if a required file is missing or damaged.

You can use Depends.exe to determine dependencies for the file you are trying to register or un-register. Depends.exe is included with the Microsoft Windows 98 Resource Kit and the Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 Resource Kit support tools.

Use the version from the Win2k Resource Kit:

Dependency Walker: Dependency Walker is a graphical Win32 development tool that scans any Win32 module (.exe, .dll, .ocx, .cpl, .scr, and .sys, among others) and builds a hierarchical tree diagram of all dependent modules.
