unable to register a dll - "access is denied"

[Guest everymn@yahoo.com]

Hi,

 

I'm trying to register an ActiveX dll on a remote Windows Server 2003

Enterprise 32 Bit system using Remote Desktop. I've tried both

regsrv32, and Reggie.exe to do this, and both give me the same error:

 

regsvr.exe

LoadLibrary("c:\WINDOWS\system32...")failed - Access is denied

 

reggie.exe

HRESULT == 0X80070005

Access is denied

 

I'm logged on as a user that is a member of the administrators group

that has full permissions to the dll itself. I checked the local

security settings and I don't see anything in there that would seem to

apply to this condition. The Remote Registry Service is running and I

am able to make manual changes to the registry using regedit.exe,

although hacking it manually to register a dll is not something I'm

ready to attempt.

 

I'm certain that nothing is accessing the dll currently, and it's

never been registered before.

 

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Reboot would be an option

albeit a painful one since this is a full time remote build machine.

 

Thanks

Eric

I should also mention that I've had no problems registering the same

dll using the two mentioned methods on a local XP system, so that

wouldn't be the problem.

 

Thanks

Feel free to give me a slap if I'm wrong but are you doing this using the

console connection?

 

mstsc /v:servername /console /f

 

I find a lot of stuff starts to work when on the console.
