Dllregisterserver in iviewers failed

Question

When I try to start Oleview, I get an error causing a DllRegisterServer error for the IViewer.dll file (sorry I want to post a screenshot, but I can't until I get 10 reputation = p)

Oleview will work, but as msg says, you cannot look at interfaces that are exactly what I want to do.

I found my iviewer.dll and ran regsvr32 on it just fine. Therefore, I am not sure what is happening.

Answer 1

Ack should have done more due diligence. Found this one in msdn which explains that you need to run Oleview as admin. Stupid UAC.

I tried this and worked as the admin works for me.

Answer 2

You only need to run it for the first time as an administrator. Make sure you open the tlb file, so it registers IVIEWERS.DLL as a COM server in the registry. After that, you can run it as a regular user. This is explained, for example, in the Windows readme SDK.
