Hi jzaino
Try unregistering
regsvr32 /u oleaut32.dll
then register
regsvr32 oleaut32.dll

Also try this
regsvr32 atl.dll

If you have VMware, try this too
regsvr32 vmdbcom.dll

I tried the suggestion in the above article and when I ran the vbrun60.exe I got the follwoing error

Error registering the OCX C;\Windows\system32\oleaut32.dll

Is this related to my oleaut32.dll problem? It has the same time stamp as when I ran the vbrun60.exe.

Make sure that your account has Admin rights.

Also download http://support.microsoft.com/kb/192461 . Extract the file to a folder. In safe mode with command prompt, delete (take a backup) your current oleaut32.dll file and then copy the new oleaut32.dll file from the extracted resource.

The wrong comment was selected as the answer in this question (although still provided by MrHusy), it should have been {http:#18933313} because the error code 0x80070005 references "Access Denied". So either the logged in user wasn't a member of the Administrators Group, or the dll file that was being registered didn't have the proper permissions to allow anyone to access it.
