Registring a Control

[tom]

I have just upgraded to windows vista and
I have several vb controls I need to register.
I used "regsvr32" to perform this in the past
but windows vista does not like this I get the
following message:

"Cannot import tabcontrolex.dll. The specified file
is not a registry script. You can only import binary
files from within the registry editor."

What does vista use to register controls ?

Are you sure you are dealing with COM/ActiveX DLLs? Note that .NET-based
DLLs do not need to be registered at all and /cannot/ be registered using
"regsvr32".
