API UpdateRegistryFromResource fails with error 0x8007007e

[Guest wn123456@gmail.com]

I have a COM service created using the ATL wizard.

It works fine on few systems and on 1 system it fails to register.

System has,

OS Name Microsoft® Windows® Server 2003 Enterprise x64 Edition

Version 5.2.3790 Service Pack 1 Build 3790

 

(Same version other systems it is working fine)

 

The API, UpdateRegistryFromResource returns error 0x8007007e.

 

After manually copying the interface registry entries the service

registers fine and works fine.

 

Has anyone come across such issue ?

 

Code snippet of the register part is,

------------------

inline HRESULT CServiceModule::RegisterServer(BOOL bRegTypeLib, BOOL

bService)

{

HRESULT hr = CoInitialize(NULL);

if (FAILED(hr))

return hr;

 

// Remove any previous service since it may point to

// the incorrect file

//Uninstall();

 

// Add service entries

UpdateRegistryFromResource(IDR_XYService, TRUE);

 

// Adjust the AppID for Local Server or Service

CRegKey keyAppID;

LONG lRes = keyAppID.Open(HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT, _T("AppID"),

KEY_WRITE);

if (lRes != ERROR_SUCCESS)

return lRes;

 

CRegKey key;

lRes = key.Open(keyAppID,

_T("{14437033-2F7E-45E1-91F1-683172AC3683}"), KEY_WRITE);

if (lRes != ERROR_SUCCESS)

return lRes;

key.DeleteValue(_T("LocalService"));

 

if (bService)

{

key.SetValue(_T("XY Service"), _T("LocalService"));

key.SetValue(_T("-Service"), _T("ServiceParameters"));

 

// Create service

Install();

SetDescription();

}

 

// Add object entries

hr = CComModule::RegisterServer(bRegTypeLib);

 

CoUninitialize();

return hr;

}
