I am struggling to register a DLL on client PCs. The clients are all W7 SP1 32 bit.

My main application is located in and runs from C:\localapps\. (This gets copied from a network drive if a newer version is on the network). I have copied mynew.dll into the localapps folder on the clients; I have also copied the tlb and the vbr files - I was not sure if these were needed or not - could someone advise on this point?

When running 'regsvr32 c:\localapps\mynew.dll' at the command line prompt I get errors:

On one W7 client the error states: "The modul "c:\localapps\mynew.dll" was loaded but the call to DllRegisterServer failed with error code 0x80004005".

On another W7 client I get "The module 'c:\localapps\mynew.dll' failed to load. Make sure the binary is stored at the specified path or debug it to check for probles with the binary or dependent .dll files. The specified module could not be found".

I also have the VFP9r.dll ,VFP9t.dll and VFP9RENU.dll in the c:\localapps folder.

I have tried logging on to the client as both local and domain admin. I have also tried "Run as administrator" against the CMD prompt.

I do not understand why I get different error messages on what appear to be 2 identically configured clients.

Could someone shed some light on what I am missing?

Thanks
Barry Sutton.
