Vista Tutorial - Regsvr32 error 0x80004005

Whilst running regsvr32 for an ocx component I get an error 'the module
'blah.ocx' was loaded but the call to DllRegisterServer failed with error
code 0x80004005.

Any ideas anyone ?

Chris,

0x80004005 denotes "Access is denied" error. See if running the Regsvr32 command-line from an elevated Command Prompt helps.

What the hell is an "elevated Command prompt"? I do have the same problem.

You simply right click the Command Prompt shoercut and select Run As
Administrator from the pop-up menu.

Open a command box as administrator... right click the icon and select
the "Run as Administrator" option.

The error message was the same. I tried running as an admin, logged on as an admin, no such luck. First time I have seen this. Trying to setup muvpn on vista.

regsvr32.exe C:\Windows\System32\irebase.dll returns error "irebase was loaded but the call to DllRegisterServer failed with the error0x80004005

May be a registry permissions issue. Use Regmon or Process Monitor to track.

This fixed my problem by using the elevated command prompt. JT

I am having the same problem as mentioned here. I do not have command prompt icon. ? I tried to run the command (regsvr32 path\vbscript.dll) from the 'DOS' command prompt but am unsuccessful. How can I run this as an administrator?
