Microsoft (C) Register Server has stopped working
Hello,
I'm running Vista Ultimate.
For some reason I cannot register any dll, when I run regsvr32 I get this
message:
Microsoft (C) Register Server has stopped working
As a result dll is not registered.
In the Event Viewer I see this:
Faulting application regsvr32.exe, version 6.0.6000.16386, time stamp
0x4549b3c7, faulting module unknown, version 0.0.0.0, time stamp 0x00000000,
exception code 0xc0000005, fault offset 0x00c70ef1, process id 0x165c,
application start time 0x01c76dc3d9123cc8.
Is there a way to fix it?
I would appreciate your suggestions.
Thank you,

Re: Microsoft (C) Register Server has stopped working
Hi,
Are you running regsvr32 from an elevated command prompt or just from a
run/search box? You need elevated privileges to register a .dll or .ocx file
with the system.

Hi Rick,
I've tried different ways - from the Run window and from a command
prompt. Also, some dlls that are usually installed automatically are
not installed anymore.
I've changed some security settings in Internet Explorer and last time
I tried to register a component I didn't get an error, but I didn't
get a confirmation either. I haven't had a chance yet to see whether
this component works or not.

Rick, it didn't work. What special permissions do I need, how to set
them? I have administrative account, I though I had all permissions.
Thank you,

Hi,
It's not just an admin account that's required, you have to run the cmd
prompt with elevated privileges. Click start, type cmd, then right click the
command prompt entry in the start menu and use 'run as administrator'. Then
run the regsvr32 string.

Thank you, Roger, I've tried this already - didn't work.
I've searched Google and noticed that some other people had the same
problem, but couldn't find the right solution yet.
