Error message while registtering com component

[Sue]

hi!
When I try to register a COM component using the regsvr32.exe in Windows 98, I get the following error message:"LoadLibrary("Dllname") failed.One of the library files needed to run this application cannot be found."
The com component is called "HandleInventory.dll" and it is not missing.
I used the following command in the command window:-
regsvr32 pathname
where pathname is the path where the dll file is located.
What might be the reason for the error?

Did you copy HandleInventory.lib file to the same folder as HandleInventory.dll?

[Sue]

Yes, HandleInventory.dll and HandleInventory.lib are in the same folder.

Here's a link to some possible causes:

There is also a Depends.exe file that you can run on a Win98 PC to find out what dependencies are missing.

Hi once again!
I'll try that out.
Thanks for your time.
