regasm reporting "Access Denied"

[Mark Madsen]

I am trying to use regasm to register an assembly. Any form of the command
including simply "regasm assemblyname.dll" results in the line:
regasm error: access is denied:

I have verified that the dll is not loaded in memory and I don't think that
it is a registry permission problem since I believe that would be a
different error. The assembly can be registered successfully on other
machines. (All machines in question are XP SP2) They all have the up-to-date
1.1 framework.

I am at a loss as to the cause of this problem.
Any suggestions or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Mark,

If I remember right, I've had this problem before and it turned out to
be my virus scanner somehow interfering. If you have a scanner running,
you might try shutting it off to see if it makes a difference.
