Installing software on Vista - register DLL

[Doekoe]

I am using Windows Vista for a while. The biggest problem I have with
Vista is when I install software and during the installation it tells
me that it can not register the DLL files. If it is just one I can do
this manually and that is OK, but today I got a list of DLL files. In
my opinion it can not be the way that I need to register this
manually.

I run the Setup.exe as administrator, however this is not enough for
the regsvr32 I think. So I am looking for a solution for this.

Thanks in advance.

Is this with all software or just with a specific product/range of
products? You *could* try turning UAC off for the purpose of
installation and see if that helps (though your system security will not
be as great.)

try running the installer by right clicking on it and selecting "run as
administrator"

Does it tell you what DLL it's trying to register that's failing?
Presumably if it's still failing when run as administrator, that would be
because it's doing some bogus registration.

If you have a list of DLLs, you can use something like:
for /f %a in (mydllfilelist.txt) do regsvr32 %a
from an elevated cmd.exe prompt to register them all.
