Cannot register 32 bit DLL on W2008

[Guest ThomasAJ]

I think I need to use regsvr32 in syswow64 to register a 32 bit dll:

c:\Windows\syswow64\regsvr32.exe "C:\Program Files (x86)\Common

Files\MSSoap\Binaries\MSSOAP30.DLL"

 

It says the module failed to load etc.

 

I also tried:

regsvr32.exe "C:\Program Files (x86)\Common

Files\MSSoap\Binaries\MSSOAP30.DLL"

 

Same error message.

 

I am installing a program that needs MSSOAP30.DLL

You need to use "Run as administrator". If you run the command at a command

prompt, launch the command prompt by right clicking a shortcut to cmd.exe

and selecting "Run as administrator". If the regsvr32 statement is in a

program, like a batch file, right click the program and select "Run as

administrator".

I ran the above commands as you said. Same error message every time.

 

I also had the same problem registering another DLL using REGSVR32.EXE. So I

tracked down that DLL's installer from the DLL's website and the installer

installed the DLL.

 

So the MSSOAP30.DLL is unlikely to be at fault (it currently runs on Server

2003 SP2) and it is almost definitely how I am running REGSVR32.EXE.

 

Yes I am logged on as ADMINISTRATOR (thru TS) and am running CMD.EXE as 'Run

as administrator'.
