Cannot Manually register .dll or .ocx files

[Guest]

While trying to install a program I keep getting an error message that says
certian .dll or .ocx files cannot self register. I'm trying to manually
register them using regsvr32 command with the file location following the
regsvr32 but message comes up saying that it failed with a Return Code
0x80020009. My wife really needs this program for her business so I need to
get it installed. Anyone with an idea of what might be preventing me from
registering these files I would greatly appreciate some insight.

Hi

Those files may not be self-registering and have to be called by a specific
program or another .DLL. See if the following helps:

I installed the program on my other computer and it works fine, I'm even able
to manually register the files in question, but unfortunately I need to
install the program on this computer as it is the business computer. I tried
the link you provided but wasn't able to get much info as to figure out what
is the cause from preventing me to register these files. Any other info would
be greatly appreciated.

Hi

Have you tried this article:

My thought is that there is a dependency missing. There is a file that this
OCX or DLL needs that isn't installed on that system.. If it is a VB
program is the VB runtime installed?
