regsvr32.exe failed on Accwiz.dll

[tom]

When trying to fix the linked table manager according
to MS support bug sheet (835519)

I get the error

DllRegisterserver in Accwiz.dll failed.
Return code was: 0x80004005

I used DOS to go straight to the directory with
the dll file to deal with the earlier posted spaces
in PATH problem.

Anyway before I go to the next step of examining the
registry, I wanted some input on this error.

Yep. I've experienced the same error myself. This is why I pointed you to Al
Campagna's article in this reply:

I followed the Bug sheet and the the article you mention
and I am still getting that same damn error.

My path in the registry was correct so I didnt touch it.

Hi Tom,

You might want to search your entire hard drive for all occurances of
AccWiz.dll. Verify that the path in your registry (ie. Solution 2 in Al's
document) points to the correct version of this file.

On my PC at work, the Solution 1 method, which uses Regsvr32, specifically
did not work for me.

If all else fails, try renaming AccWiz.dll to something else, like
AccWiz.dll.bak. Then try initiating a repair from within Access, by clicking
on Help > Detect and Repair...
You may need to have your Office 2003 setup disk handy, in case you are
prompted to insert it.

Here is my standard blurb on dealing with wizard-related problems. Try
temporarily disabiling your antivirus software. Does that fix the problem?
Other than that, I'm not sure what to suggest.

Wizards not working
Try the following steps. You possibly have other wizards that are not
functional as well.

Replace three files on your hard drive, Acwzmain.mde, Acwzlib.mde and
Acwztool.mde, using the instructions shown in KB 303769. One or more of these
files may have become corrupted. Do this without Access running.

http://support.microsoft.com/?id=303769
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=833220  Error in loading DLL

1.) Insert the Microsoft Office or Access compact disc.
2.) By using Windows Explorer, open the Pfiles\Msoffice\Office\1033
folder on your CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive, and locate the
Acwzmain.mde, Acwzlib.mde and Acwztool.mde files.
3.) Select these files, and then click Copy on the Edit menu
4.) Open the folder that you installed Office into. The default folder is
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office. Select the Office\1033 folder,
and then on the Edit menu, click Paste.

If that doesn't fix the problem, try re-registering the Accwiz.dll,
Msado15.dll and DAO360.dll files. Click on Start > Run. Then enter the
commands:

Regsvr32 Accwiz.dll
Regsvr32 "C:\Program Files\Common Files\system\ado\Msado15.dll"
Regsvr32 "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\DAO\Dao360.dll"

Wizard starts, but “No valid fields can be found†error message may be
related to overly aggressive settings on antivirus software:

Access 2003 Users:
BUG: List of currently linked tables may not appear in
Linked Table Manager Wizard in a database in Access 2003
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=835519

Notes:
1. To find Accwiz.dll in Win. XP Professional, I had to make sure to place a
check on Advanced Options in the search dialog, with Search system folders
and Search Subfolders checked.

2. Although I received a message indicating success, when using regsvr32, I
found that the path was not updated. I had to manually update the value of
this key on my PC.

Hi Tom,

Does this page have anything at all to do with
my problem as that is the exact error message
I am getting?

[Guest]

I really doubt it. The article you provided a link to includes the following:

"If you use a Microsoft Internet Information Server (IIS) application
(WebClass)
to create a dynamic-link library (DLL) in Visual Basic 6.0, you receive the
following
error message when you try to register the DLL..."

Are you using IIS? (Likely no)
Did you create a DLL file in VB 6.0 (again, likely no)

Have you exhausted the possible resolutions that I provided in my last reply?

Renaming the file and running detect and repair
fixed the linked table manager for Access 2003.

I have not yet started Access 97 to test how this
will screw up the works again.

Hi Tom,

I'm glad to hear that you got the issue solved.

I have not yet started Access 97 to test how this
will screw up the works again.

If your PC has enough horsepower, you might want to consider installing
Virtual PC. Here is a block of text that I copied from a newsletter that I
recently received, from the Pacific NW Access Developer's Group:

Virtual PC Is Now Free! (8/06) Presentation in November!!

Microsoft Virtual PC enables you to run multiple PC-based operating systems
simultaneously on your computer, which makes it an idea tool for testing and
deploying new software. Microsoft recently announced that effective
immediately, Virtual PC is available as a free download from the Microsoft
Virtual PC 2004 site www.microsoft.com/windows/virtualpc/default.mspx .
Virtual PC 2007 will also be a free download when it becomes available in
2007.
