Regsvr32 Problems - DllRegister Entry Point

[Alan Watson]

I have a completely updated Windows XP Installation and am installing some
test Software where I need to Register sevral .dll files.

Using regsvr32 I get an error message which says that the .dll is loaded but
the DllRegisterServer Entry Point was not found - and I am unable to
Register the .dll in question.

Anyone any ideas

Who built the dlls?

If not you - then they should be registered if needed by the installation
program.

If you built the dlls then you should read-up on how to create valid entry
points.

Register the .dll in question.

That probably means that the dll in question does not need registering
and so does not have a 'self register' facility included. What was it
specifically?

As that error message says, those dll files doesn't have required
DllRegisterServer function. That can also mean that they are not intended to
be registered with regsvr32. Only special types of dll (ActiveX, OCX or
other components) must be registered.
