COM registration failures

Posted: 05-25-2006, 04:21 AM
I am tring to test an application that runs fine on Windows XP but under
Windows Vista I get 0x8004005 and 0x8007005 errors when the app attempts to
register DLL and COM components. Even if I run the app with the "Run as
administrator" option or via cmd window (running as admin), I still get the
errors.

Any ideas?

Is the installation a MSI, Wise, Installshield?
Have you tried this with UAC off?

Turning off all of the security stuff seemed to do the trick - thanks

I dont see a good clarity or t the point answer to the problem

Vista has some really **** kind of user prompt and disabling th
services / commands in the name of security. So it does.
To avoid this dll / COM registration problem
*1.* Go to Programs - > Accesories - > Right click on Command Promp
shortcut. Click on Run as Administrator
(this will allow spcial Admin previledge to the commands running fro
this window, you can see the idea built in in VISTA of hacking admi
rights even if you dont have the permission

*2.* Run the same command from the DOS prompt you used to register th
dll
REGSVR32 "dllname

this should work perfectly
