Run DLL with regsvr32 works on XP but not on Vista

23 New Member
I want to register a DLL (fastreport3.dl l (version 4.4, size 2 400 kB)) on Windows Vista using regsvr32. It works on Windows XP, but not on Vista. I have tried to do it as administrator and I have tried to turn on/off UAC.
Evereytime I got a message which says that the DllRegisterServ er encounterd a problem and will be shut down.

If I create the register keys manually, everything works fine.

Why can't regsvr32 register the DLL?

Is there a way to run regsvr32 on XP and then see what keys was created?

regsvr does not create keys, it registers dynamic link libraries so it would not do you any good i believe checking keys.

as vista has quite a lot of security are you running the command promt in ellevated mode? I would imagine that you would have to run regsvr32 as that could be a security issue.

I don't use vista much but I believe that it is not good enough just being logged on as an administrator, I think you also have to be elevated. apologies if this is incorrect as I have only briefly used the beta.

if you still have problems can you tell me where you got the dll form and I will try it on a virtual machine when I have a chance, the fault could also be caused by dll dependancies not registered but you would have to run it through dependancy walker or similar to try and diagnose that.

For some time, I have been using TSISOON90.dll, a free Access COM Add-in from Trigeminal Software which closes one db and opens another, plus other useful tasks. We recently installed some new WinXP Pro machines. We have VBA code in an Access form to run regsvr32.exe to register TSISOON90.dll. When I am logged on as admin, this runs fine and registers the dll. However, when another user runs VBA code which relies on TSISOON, it fails,...

Fairly simple question !!! The title says it all. But here is a further description - I have a software that expects a COM DLL. Due to certain requirements we have to create a .NET assembly instead. I know we can do RegAsm, but the way we have to "load" this assembly into another program is that ... the other program calls DllRegisterServer on it directly - (regsvr32 equivalent).

Hi, I have a VB.Net Setup and deployment project that installs my application. Now in my application, I am using an ocx that I have explicitly registered using the regsvr32.exe utility. Now when I deploy my application on another computer that does not have this registered, it gives an unhandled exception (which is expected). How can i add this script in my setup project itself? Any pointers are gladly appreciated

I have a COM dll that defines a COM object. I used to register it either during link or using regsvr32. Now I have compiled one of the C++ files in the DLL with /clr so now I have a mixed DLL. The problem is that the DLL registration no longer works. Regsvr32 succeeds but the GUIDs of the COM objects no longer present in the registry and when somebody tries to CreateInstance of them, I get an error "Class Not Registered".

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
