Answer 1

First, you have to start the Command as a administrator. Second, you didn't specify your dll file in which directory. If your operating system is 32-bit windows operating system, the regsvr32.exe's default working directory is C:\Windows\System32\.

Answer 2

I just had the same issue.

If you're running 64-bit Windows and you've placed the 32-bit DLL in Windows\System32\ then it'll give you this error.

Simply place the DLL into Windows\SysWOW64\ and register it from there.

Here's where I found the fix:

Answer 3

The DLL might link to another DLL which isn't in the path when running regsvr32 from the command line.
