Title: DLL register failure
Post by: Robert Collins on June 15, 2005, 05:47:50 PM
I tried to register a DLL using regsvr32. I get the following error message:

RegSvr32:

  DllRegisterServer in IEHelper.dll failed.

  Return code: 0x80070078

Anyone know what this error message return code means or have any suggestions?

The DLL is the output of a sample BHO project that I downloaded from Microsoft. The projects compiles and links correctly.

OK, forget the above post. I got it figured out. I had to re-build the project workspace files.

BTW: After you get a clean compile/link and the DLL get registered it works. This is a nice example of a Browser Helper Object. Anyone interested in writing BHO's and you are not sure how to go about doing it then this sample will put you on the correct path.
