Registering COM DLLs

I have some COM dll's that I am able to register on my 98 box, through
code, install shield, and regsvr32 all work. I take the same COM dll's
to my NT 4.0 box, and I can't register them either through code, install
shield, or regsvr32. Is it possible the dll's themselves have something
in them that won't work on NT? I can manually edit the registry on my NT
box, so I don't think its an access rights issue.

Any ideas on how to get these registered on my NT box?

The return code I get from Regsvr32 is  0x80040154.

Re:Registering COM DLLs


Try to run your dll with regsvr32.exe as a host application (the name of your
dll should be the command line parameter) and see if you can spot where it fails
in the VCL ActiveX code.

Re:Registering COM DLLs


This is either a dependency problem (your COM server depends on some other
type library) or a SP version issue.
