regsvr32 - you may need to mention path

by BizIntelligence · 9 years ago In reply to Try this first

To register a file command can be:

regsvr32 "path of dll file"

To un-register a file command can be:

regsvr32 -u "path of dll file"

Cheers !

Thank you for your quick responses. I applied the regsvr32 command on the path of the htmed.dll, amd I got another error message, saying "DllRegisterServer in htmed.dll failed. Return code was: 0x8002801c". What should I do next?

Likely registry permission issue

by BizIntelligence · 9 years ago In reply to that does not work. eithe ...

It is likely that permissions on part of the registry have been changed to deny you access. You will need to be a local administrator to register the COM object. You have to local administrator to install that software. If PC is part of windows domain then unplug it from network and login as local administrator and then install. If it fails again then read following article to see how you can use regmon utility (freeware by System Internals) which registry item is failing to open.

registry key permissions

by jconnell · 9 years ago In reply to htmed.dll error during MS ...

I found that the write permission of registry key HKCR\Interface\{34A715A0-6587-11D0-924A-0020AFC7AC4D} had been blocked. When I allow write of this using regedt32 I could properly install SP5. I diagnosed the problem using regmon from http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896652.aspx with "Options / Filters / Log writes" as suggested at http://www.cryer.co.uk/brian/windows/trbl_nt_rgsvrfld8002801c.htm

You may want to search for "htmed.dll" in your registry; mine was under a different key.

Thanks,

Thanks alot--this also worked for me, I did a regedt32 to edit the registry keys permission, and then searched on 34A715A0-6587-11D0-924A-0020AFC7AC4D key that was suggested above as the culprit... and then sp5 was successfully installed.

Thanks Jconnell, thanks Octavia
