Failing to register component using RegSvcs

[J. P. Young]

I have been trying to get a previously built .NET component to run on
a Windows 2000 Server box. It's previous home was on an XP box using
..NET framework version 1.0.3328. On that machine, it ran with no
problem, but on the 2000 Server box, with version 1.1.4322, it fails
to load and gives an access denied error. I have moved the same
component to an XP box with version 1.1.4322, and it registered there
as well, but gave more warnings then it did with the earlier framework
version. Here are the outputs from the three runs:

Original XP box with 1.0.3328:

The following installation error occurred:

2: Access is denied: app1.dll'.


Any suggestions on how I can get this to load on the 2000 Server box
or what the root cause of this failure might be?

As a follow up to anyone else who runs into a similar problem, the
security permissions apparently don't move across for the dll when
going to 2000 Server or my security defaults are different on that
box. I just needed to go to the permissions for the DLL and give
administrator "Full Control" under the Security tab. Then everything
worked.
