Regsvr32 failure

P

PaulFXH

Hi everybody
My machine is a Dell Desktop 2.53GHz/512MB RAM running on WinXP Home
with SP2. It runs well and is totally virus and spyware-free.
However the regsvr32 command occasionally fails to carry out its
intended function.
The following two error messages are seen:
1. DllRegisterServer in xyz.dll failed. Return code was 0x80004005
2. xyz.dll was loaded but the DllRegisterServer entry point was not
found. The file cannot be registered.

I find the MS KB articles on these issues to be somewhat vague and are
certainly insufficiently specific to allow me to either diagnose or fix
this registration problem.
I should mention also that while I can register, for example,
jscript.dll in my own Admin user account, the same operation on the
same file in a limited user account gives the first error shown above.

Can anybody help me to understand what the problem is here?

TIA
Paul

80004005 just means unspecifed error.

The dll is not self registering or is corrupted. If it's loaded in memory it may just be crashed.
