RegSvr32 failed

[Will8888888]

Please help me. My problem is that I developed a COM component. I can use REGSVR32 c:\COMDLL\AuthEngineCOM.dll to register the COM in a computer which has Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003. But when I use REGSVR32 c:\COMDLL\AuthEngineCOM.dll in a computer without Microsoft Visual Studio .NET a error appear: LoadLibrary ("c:\COMDLL\AuthEngineCOM.dll") failed - The specified can not be found. Could somebody tell me which dependence that I missing? Thanks, William

Hi You just copy your dll file "AuthEngineCOM.dll" and paste it into C:\\WINDOWS\System32\ After that try Run->regsvr32 AuthEngineCOM.dll bye

Hi, I have Visual Studio 2005 and my regsvr32 also fails with the message "testdll.dll was loaded, but the DllRegisterServer was not found". I have copied it to the Windows/System32 folder as well. Kindly help me out here. Thanks

Hi Every Dll file should contain DllRegisterServer Function. Here your Dll file test.dll might not have that DllRegisterServer Function inside. If so you can not register that file through RegSvr32.exe .

At a guess you've built using the dll runtime and it's not present on the machine. Use a dependency viewer on the target machine and make sure all the DLLs you're component depends on are present. One can found here[^].

DllRegisterServer is one of the key function that needs to be implemented in a COM server (.DLL). This function needs to be exported from this DLL. Please check if you have exported this function from your DLL. Also, you can use Dependency Walker[^] to see the dependencies of your DLL as well the functions that are exported. I hope this helps. Let me know if you need more information.

You can use Dependency Walker [^] to see the dependencies of your DLL. You can find the missing dependencies using this.

Hi William, try to use depend.exe with your dll in order to find the missing dependecy. Cheers Carlo

Hi I think the problem is the COM (dll) dependencies, maybe your COM has references to another dll that doesn't not exist in target pc. You can see referencias with Dependency Walker (Visual Studio Tools) David Leyva

Hello William, I also had this problem. I solved it by using a tool called DependencyWalker. It is provided with the VisualStudio IDE. Analyze your COM-Dll with this tool and you will see the modules/dlls that are missing on your system. Cheers, Norbert ;)
