In my experience, a number of commands, including regsvr32, will not work
unless cmd.exe is run as administrator. The Command Prompt window will
clearly indicate when it is running with administrative privileges, with
"Administrator: Command Prompt" written in the title bar. All .exe type
files (and the shortcuts pointing to them) should have a tab in the file's
Properties, called "Compatibility", where you can put a check in a box for
"Run this program as an administrator', as well as having the right-click
option I mentioned before. With UAC turned off, I believe cmd.exe, by
default, is run as administrator.
The Dependency Walker tool,
http://www.dependencywalker.com/, might help
point to what you're missing if your .dll' and .ocx's are dependent on a
certain runtime, etc.
