Problems registering a DLL file. HELP!

[Brentman]

I am attempting to register a DLL file using regsvr32 and I keep getting an error: "No entry point found"

Can someone please describe what this error message is telling me? I am certain the DLL is written in C, so is that just a note saying VB cannot read the C file? Please let me know ASAP. Thanks all.

Some DLL's don't need to be registered and while I am not positively sure I think the lack of entry points means that whatever the file is... it certainly isn't something you use regsvr32 on.

Either that means its a non-registered DLL or that it wasn't coded properly and therefor regsvr32 doesn't know what to do with it.

I've had this occur when i was attempting to register gif89.dll, i downloaded it from 2 different locations and when i tried registring one it gave me that error. Then i placed the other one in X:\windows\system\ and when i registered it, it worked.
First i would suggest you try to register it on another computer (send it to a buddy) and soecond of all i would suggest you find out if there is another ver of the dll.
If all fails then GenX might be right that it can not be registered.

Hope that helps,
