I'm trying to install software that requires manual registration of a .dll file. I have tried using Regsvr32.exe but I get the following message: "the module was loaded but the entry-point DllRegisterServer was not found. Make sure that shapelib.dll is a valid DLL or OCX file then try again." I have already tried running cmd.exe as administrator and it hasn't worked. Is there anything else that I could try?
DllRegisterServer error

Hello, and welcome to VistaForums!
A lot of modern .dlls will do this. Just continue on, ignoring this error, and if you have any problems with the program (I highly doubt that you will) just come back to this thread. Which program is it?
Thanks!
Richard

Hi,
You can also do the following to resolve this issue.
Restore file and registry security permissions to a known state.
For Windows XP users:
Download and unzip a small utility called Repair Permissions from http://djlizard.net/software/Repair Permissions.zip
Locate the unzipped folder, and double-click the !RUNME file.
The command prompt window will now open and will begin to restore the file and registry permissions to a known state, please be patient as the command can take some time to complete.
Once the command has completed, try to register a dll file again.
For Windows Vista/Windows 7 users:
Click Start>All Programs>Accessories, then right-click on “Command Prompt” and select “Run as Administrator”
Type in the following command exactly as you see it and press ENTER.
secedit /configure /cfg %windir%\inf\defltbase.inf /db defltbase.sdb /verbose
Wait for the command to complete, it can take some time so please be patient.
Once the command has completed, try to register a dll file again.
