You have to be an Administrator in order to register components as they are written to HKLM which is not accessible in user mode. So as such you won't be able to register a component from within the application - this should be an installer task, or otherwise has to be performed manually with elevated rights.

Use 'Run As Administrator` when you run the command window and then do the `regsvr32` call to register the component.

I don't have the source code for Foxfire to know what it's trying to do. Thought I would ask first before a lot of work just to find out Win 10 is blocking.
