Unable to register a dll

[ferrethouse]

Hi all,

I have a dll called EarthServerProd.dll. It was registered. I unregistered it. Changed its name to EarthServerProd_old.dll. Registered a new version of EarthServerProd.dll. Then unregistered the new version and tried to register the old one again (after renaming it again).

This is how I register it...

regsvr32 C:\Projects\webEarthAgat\webEarthAgat_Local\vb\compat\EarthServerProd.dll

I get this error message...

<<dll>> is not an executable file and no registration helper is registered for this file type

I've tried multipe copies of the dll and they all give this error message. I've rebooting and it didn't help. I was able to register another dll with a different name.

I'm using XP. Anyone know what is going on?

what kind of compatibility settings were used in the compiling of this dll ?

Not sure. I wasn't the original author and unfortunately I don't have all the source code at the moment so I can't compile it.
