To Register a DLL

Question

Hi All,

I am getting an error message while trying to register a third party DLL in my system using regsvr32 command. The error message is as follows

dllname.dll was loaded, but the DllRegisterServer entry point was not found.

 here dllname.dll is the name of my DLL. Why this error message is coming. How can i register this DLL so that i can use the classes in this DLL.

Thanks & Regards

Yes

Answer 1

DLLs have to be written to support this method of registration in order to use it. In this case, you're installing this DLL incorrectly.

Consult the third party's documentation.

Answer 2

Hi Shiyas,

Could you please share some detail information about the dll, such as how do you develop the dll, how do you publish it. Agree with David, if it is developed by the third part, I think you may contact the third party.

Sincerely,

Answer 3

Hi,

You can sometimes generate errors like this when the DLL you are trying to register is missing it's dependencies. Try the DLL with Dependency Walker and see if you are missing any required files.

Hope that this helps.
