Problem running regsvr32.exe

S

Steve W

I am trying to register a COM object by running regsvr32.exe but it's not
working.

When I re-boot my machine and log on, I get a messagebox, title
'regsvr32.exe - Application Error', mesage 'The application failed to
initialize properly (0xc0000142). Click on OK to terminate the
application.'.

I then go to a dos prompt, change directory to where the COM object is and
run 'regsvr32 mentorDataAccess.dll'. The dos prompt comes straight back but
I get no messagebox confirming (or not) whether the object has been
unregistered. Looking in the registry, the registration entries for the
object are still there.

I also notice that in the process list, there are many regsvr32.exe's
showing in the process list - they seem to come alive for a few seconds and
then die off - it's almost like all my earlier attempts are stored away and
come alive when I try again.

Does anyone have any idea what is going on ?!

Thanks

Steve
