    Platform Win 2k Professional
    SP 4
    New installation of Win 2k, instaled VB 6. .NET 2003, Framework 1.1


    We have VC++ Dll's, when I go to the Component Services Manager, COM+
    Applications, NEW, add empty Application, Server Application, Interactive
    User, Finish.

    Go to components, NEW, Install New Component, Find the DLL, Press Open,
    Next, Finish, then get error message.

    "The Component DLL's self registration routine failed. The DllRegisterServer
    function failed or the routine did not register the component"

    I have checked and the user I am logged in as is in the Administrator
    Groups, I have run an update and have downloaded all Updates for Win 2k.


    Has anyone come up with anything like this before?? I have googled it, tryed teh suggestions, but no joy!

    This will seem like a really basic question, but are you sure the VC++ dll's are COM+ dlls? Do they have the COM interfaces? If you use regsrv32.exe at the command line with the dll's what happens?

    I agree, most likely missing dependancies. If you build using VS2003 you'll need to ensure you also deploy MSVCRT71.DLL etc. Run Depends.exe on your Win2000 machine to check for whats missing.

    Thanks for your response, after miles of googling the answer was down to permissions when adding object to COM Catalog.

    I had to download a program called Regmon, this analysed any activity that was happening with the registry so that I could trap the registering of the new object in COM, I noticed an access denied error in the program on one reg key, I then went to regedt32 and found the key and had to set the permissions to full control for my user and the admin and sure enough it worked!

    Many thanks
