Dear Friends,

I'm working in Windows 2k pro sp3 and I had created one dll using Delphi. I registered it using regsvr32 dllname.dll. Then I had to unregister it and I've done it using regsvr32 dllname.dll /u. Now I would like to delete it from my folder and I receive the message of sharing violation. How can I delete it without having to restart my computer all the time.

Thanks in advance,

Paulo

Have you rebooted since you unregistered the dll? You would have to do so, because if the dll was loaded the last time you booted, even though it's unregistered now, the system may still have it loaded and you won't be able to delete it until it's unloaded. If you're still having this trouble after a reboot, then give more details and maybe someone can give you more help.
