dll register error 1

[ramkumars]

Hi,

I get the following error when i try to register my VC++ dll

Debug assertion failed!
Program: C:\WINNT\system32\REGSVR32.exe
File: filecore.cpp
Line: 258
.................

When i tried to register on a different machine, there was no problem.

Can anybody tell me how i can get rid of this problem
Regards,
Ramkumar

are you trying to do it on a different OS?

No...
Both the OS are same (Win 2K).

It seems you have some not installed programs or .dll on one of your computers.

Ok,

Is there any way i can find out which are the missing programs or .dll

(i tried to make both the systems similar as much as possible)

At the first you sould look in ControlPanel->AddRemove***

The assertion failure:

LONG CFile::Seek(LONG lOff, UINT nFrom)
{
	ASSERT_VALID(this);
	ASSERT(m_hFile != (UINT)hFileNull);

Are you sure its not an error in your DLL?
Have you tested the DLL by using the debugger?
Does the DLL expose a COM interface or is it a plain DLL (for which regsvr32 isn't applicable)?

Use the Visual Studio tool View Dependancies on your .dll, and see what modules it uses. You'll see if anyone is missing.

I installed SP4 and now the dll is registering without any problems.

But i have to mention that the other machine on which i registered the dll still has the SP3. So i think that i may have changed some setting (or something else) on my machine, but when i installed SP4, it corrected that.

BTW, the dll exposes a COM interface and supports connection points.
