Register comdlg32.dll gets Regsvr32: DllRegisterSe

Question

I have Windows 7, 64-bit.

I'm trying to register a .dll (comdlg32.dll) using regsvr32. But I get an error that says the dll is read but the DLLRegistryServer entry point is not found.

I have run the command under both System32 and SysWOW64 and I have run my commands with "Run As Administrator".

My old MSComDlg.CommonDialog component is no longer working with 64-bit.

Answer 1

SOLUTION OF Regsvr32: DllRegisterServer entry point was not found,

1. Go to systemdrive(generally c:)\system32 and search file "Regsvr32.exe"
2. Right click and click in properties and go to security tab and click in advanced button.
3. Click in owner tab and click edit and select administrators and click ok.
4. Click in permissions
5. Click in change permissions.
6. Choose administrators and click edit and put tick on full control and click ok.
7. Similarly, choose SYSTEM and edit and put tick on full control and click ok and click in other dialog box which are opened.
8. Now .dll files can be registered and error don't come, you should re-install any software whose dll files was not registered during installation.

Answer 2

Have you unistalled your Internet Explorer? I did, and I had the same issues, if so, you have to:

1. Reactivate IE (Control Panel -- Programs and Features -- Turn Windows features on or off).
2. restarting the computer
3. (important!) running Windows Update to get all available updates for Microsoft Explorer
4. restarting the computer (again)

Finally it works!

I also had the similar problem while registering myinfo.dll file in windows 7. Following work for me: Create a short cut on your desktop C:\Windows\System32\regsvr32.exe c:\windows\system32\myinfo.dll right click on the short cut just created and select as Run as administrator.

Answer 4

comdlg32.dll is not really a COM dll (you can't register it).

What you need is comdlg32.ocx which contains the MSComDlg.CommonDialog COM class (and indeed relies on comdlg32.dll to work). Once you get ahold on a comdlg32.ocx, then you will be able to do regsvr32 comdlg32.ocx.

Answer 5

Registering DLL for Fundsite

Outdated or missing comdlg32.ocx runtime library can be the problem of causing this error. Make sure comdlg32.ocx file is not corrupted otherwise Download the File comdlg32.ocx (~60 Kb Zip).

Download the file and extract the comdlg32.ocx to your the Windows\System32 folder or Windows\SysWOW64. In my case i started with Windows\System32 but it didn’t work at my end, so I again saved in Windows\SysWOW64.

Type following command from Start, Run dialog:“c:\windows>System32\regsvr32 Comdlg32.ocx “ or “c:\windows>SysWOW64\regsvr32 Comdlg32.ocx ”

Now Comdlg.ocx File is register and next step is to register the DLL

1. Copy the Fundsite.Text.Encoding. dll into .Net Framework folder for 64bit on below path C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v2.0.50727

2. Then on command prompt and go to directory C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v2.0.50727 and then run the following command as shown below.

This will register the dll successfully.

C:\Windows\Microsoft.net\framework64\v2.0.50727>regasm "Dll Name".dll

Answer 6

Run this command:

dumpbin /exports comdlg32.dll

You'll likely see that comdlg32.dll doesn't contain a DllRegisterServer method. Hence RegSvr32.exe won't work.

That's your answer.

ComDlg32.dll is a a system component. (exists in both c:\windows\system32 and c:\windows\syswow64) Trying to replace it or override any registration with an older version could corrupt the rest of Windows.

I can help more, but I need to know what MSComDlg.CommonDialog is. What does it do and how is it supposed to work? And what version of ComDlg32.dll are you trying to register (and where did you get it)?
