Dll Register Server in xxxx.dll failed. Unable to register Dlls
I am trying to install Intervideo DVDCreator and at the end of installation, I receive an error message :"Self Registration Error. One or more files did not self-register" It then lists the files and "Class not registered". I have also tried installation in safe mode with no change.
So I thought I could manually register them. So I copied the dll files to the c:\windows\system32 directory and then ran from the command line in the system32 directory: regsvr32.exe filename.dll.
Each time, the error: "DLL Register Server in filename.dll failed. Return code was 0x80040154.
The same return code is given with each different file that I attemp to register.
Can anyone suggest what I can do? The software vendor cannot help me.
I am running XP Pro.

These Event Viewer entries ocurred around the time.
The COM+ Event System detected a bad return code during its internal processing. HRESULT was 8007043C from line 44 of d:\nt_qxp\com\com1x\src\ev
Volume Shadow Copy Service error: Unexpected error calling routine CoCreateInstance. hr = 0x80040206.
Windows cannot unload your classes registry file - it is still in use by other applications or services. The file will be unloaded when it is no longer in use.

Tried to reinstall under a new admin rights account. No difference.
I think the event viewer messages are not relevant to my problem.
Anyone else with ideas?

Just reviewed the Event Viewer log after cleaing it and then attempting the reinstall. There are no events to indicate anything, even though the error message :"Self Registration Error. One or more files did not self-register" Appears. It then lists the files and "Class not registered".
only this particular product has problems.... or others also suffer from the same error ??
ASKER
Only this product. Everything else works perfectly
which version of DirectX are u using.... and having a Nvidia video card ??
and do u have XP SP1 with all the windows updates ??
ASKER
Direct x 9.0, SP1 with all updates,
I have read on Intervideo DVD Creator website, that they require DirectX Runtime Libraries..... not sure if its related to ur problem or not.... but here u can download and install them >> http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=1d97f320-9dfd-4e7a-b947-3a037ccf84af&displaylang=en

I did as you suggested to no avail. Last night I installed the software on another computer and it went fine. But that this my business machine and the computer with the installation headaches is what I expected to be the video computer - faster, more ram, faster disk, etc.

This is a major RESET of the dshow database and you may want to consider it if
all else fails. (if you do it, set a manual restore point first)

After that, reinstall your version of WMP.
windows media player 9

Or if you have wmp 10
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/download/download.aspx
In general, reinstalling WMP over itself is like a repair, and will recreate all the relevant
registry entries. You'll have to uninstall/reinstall all your codec-related software,
such as divx, dvd players, mpg encoders, etc,etc.

I've decided to give up and install this software on another machine. It works fine and I just can't spend the time any more.
Thanks to everyone for your input on this problem.
