ActiveX controls export a function named DllRegisterServer() which is used
to set up the registry entries that COM requires. In general, you need to be
an administrator to update the registry. If something like REGSVR32 tries to
call DllRegisterServer() and the registry update fails you will get that
message.

But note that to make the call, the DLL has to be loaded and the
DllRegisterServer() export has to be found. It may be the case that due to
some other problem that the DLL can't be loaded. In that case REGSVR32 can't
call DllRegisterServer() and it may be that you'll see the same less than
helpful error message.

Will
