Oops. Evidently those switches have an order dependency.
Otherwise there should have been no mention of DllRegisterServer
because that is what the /n switch is telling it explicitly to bypass.
The KB249873 article documents them in the order:
regsvr32 /n /i digest.dll
not the order that I gave (off the top of my head.)
Also note that you have capitalized the /i switch.
If there are such bizarre dependencies with order perhaps
there are also weird variations due to case.
The versions of the other modules look fine and I wouldn't worry
about the ones that are missing. Probably they don't apply to your OS.
Good luck
Robert
