Register a dll in windows 7

Question

Hey,

I am using windows 7 (32 bit) and I am trying to register a dll using regsvr32 command, but it displays following error message.

"the module dsofile.dll was loaded but the call to dllregisterserver failed with error code 0*8007005"

I changed the path to the directory where the dll is physically available in command prompt and typed the command

regsvr32 dsofile.dll

Can anybody tell any reason for this error? And how may I register this dll. Is there any way to add this dll to component services of the machine?( That is is there any way to register the dll manually?)

Please help

Answer 1

You need to be running as administrator to register a DLL.  To do this manually find the Command Prompt item in the Start menu and right-click on it and select 'Run As Administrator.'
