  • 0

When I use “regsvr32 foo.dll” i get a “The specified module cannot be
found” error.

The error is being caused because regsvr32 cannot find
the file even though it is the current folder.

I have specified the full path, and it still doen’t work. Any ideas????

    This can happen if foo.dll has a depenency on bar.dll and it’s actually bar.dll that can’t be found.

    Try using depends.exe from MSVC to check the dependencies of foo.dll and see if any are missing.

    Another option is to download and run FileMon. Then run regsvr32 again and see which file/module it fails to find. This should definitely track it down.
