registration failed on attempt to register a COM dll on windows server 2012 x64


I am trying to register a 32 bit com.dll in sysWOW64

C:\Windows\SysWOW64>regsvr32 xxx.dll

i have copied the dll in both the folders SysWOW64 and System32

it shows error like

The module "xxx.dll" failed to load. Make sure the binary is stored at the specified path or debug it to check for problems with the binary or dependent .DLL files

if i check dependency walker there it shows some missing files what are these files?

ATL110.DLL, MSVCR110.DLL, IESHIMS.DLL, MFPLAT.DLL, WLANAPI.DLL

these files are really necessary? i have downloaded redist files to overcome the problem but it failed still it shows the same error after installing the redist files

i have installed the same dll in windows 7 x64 and it registered successfully system but not in windows 2012 server x64 what cause the error? how to resolve the problem


Solution

  • Copy paste those missing DLL to system 32 directory works, you can download it from trusted sources, in my case i just copied it from my another win 7 x64 pc.
