Problem: regsvr32 fails for the correct version of MSSoap30.dll
Background:
I posted a few weeks ago about how I'd written code to consume a web
service from Microsoft Access using the Soap Toolkit. I had written up
the process as an article for DBJ and it's out there now ...
http://www.databasejournal.com/features/msaccess/article.php/3567511
I concluded the article (and the post) with the suggestion that the DLLs
for this process are redistributable, but are installed with Office 2003
and/or when you install the Soap Toolkit. However, I'm at the point where
I'd like to build a scirpt to (surgically) deploy the required DLLs on clients
using Office XP without installing the entire Soap Toolkit on each machine.
What I did:
I hit a problem registering the primary DLL. Below is a laundry list of files
that need to exist and those that require registration. I gathered them
together from a machine where the code worked and registered them all.
While the Reference in Access was found, the DLL seemed to be missing
some methods/constants that were required. A quick search of my computer
revealed a second Mssoap30.dll file with a newer version. I'm guessing
the newer version is the one I need, but when I tried RegSvr32, it failed.
Mssoap30.dll (ver 3.0.1325.0) <registered but doesn't work>
Mssoap30.dll (ver 3.0.1906.0) <registration failed!>
There was a thread back in January on this newsgroup by Sharat Koya
that seemed to lean in this direction. If Sharat is reading, did you ever
find a solution. If anyone else knows why a DLL would fail to register
in general, that may be helpful too. Perhaps it's a dependency. Does it
ever matter what order DLLs are registered?
Thanks
