Hi, If you cannot register the file by hand then either the dll is corrupt or not a com dll.
See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/249873 Dllname is not an executable file and no registration helper is registered for this file type. "Dllname is not an executable file (.exe, .dll, or .ocx). For example, typing regsvr32 autoexec.bat generates this error message." Get another copy of this dll and try again. To register a dll correctly you should use heat.exe to harvest the registration information ine the dll, not use self registration.
