Re: problem registering DLL's

Hi,

My research suggests that this error is normal for mshtml.dll

Correct. That's the case for the other DLLs mentioned. They don't have a DllRegisterServer entrypoint.

I recently formatted my HD and re-installed Windows XP using a disk which
slipstreamed my original XP with SP-2, IE7 and WMP11. Had no issues with the
install and I proceeded to do any remaining Windows updates. Upon examining
the event logs I discovered that there were non-fatal errors during the
installation:

Error:
Setup could not register the OLE Control D:\WINDOWS\system32\mshtml.dll
because of the following error:
GetProcAddress returned error 127 (the specified procedure could not be
found).

***

because of the following error:

My attempts to register each of the dll's above gives the following error:

"*******.dll file loaded but DllregisterServer entry point not found. The
file
cannot be registered" .

My research suggests that this error is normal for mshtml.dll if one is
running IE7 but I cannot find reference to the other files. Is this
something that should concern me or is this a feature of IE7 ? How else can
I register these dll's ? The system does seem to be working OK but I want to
be proactive here and not have to re-do everything again in the near future.
