regopt.dll failed

[rjwilldohisbest]

I am using Norton system works and am trying to configure the swap file under the utilities. I am receiving a CoCreate error (REGOPT.DLL) wasn't installed correctly. I have uninstalled and reinsinstalled and am getting the same failure message. I have the dll in a few places all ready.
If anyone would know how I could correct this error that would be great. Thanks for your time.

"9. Norton Optimization Wizard

We recommend that you close all other programs before running Norton Optimization Wizard. If a program attempts to alter the system registry while Norton Optimization Wizard is optimizing the registry, the settings it is attempting to save will be lost. Also, do not empty the Recycle Bin or change Windows settings during the registry optimization.
===========
WinIce users may get an error "Invalid VXD dynamic link call to device #3, service B" when optimizing the registry with Norton Optimization Wizard. Do a full system reboot to solve this problem. Another solution is to rename NRW16.EXE (in the Norton Utilities directory) to NRW16.NUL.
===========
Norton Optimization Wizard requires a file called REGOPT.DLL to be present and registered on your system. From the START Menu select the RUN command. In the Dialog box enter the text:

REGSVR32 "C:\Program files\Norton Utilities\REGOPT.DLL"

===========
If there is corruption or non-standard entries in your system registry, Norton Optimization Wizard will fail to optimize the registry, and will create a file called BADKEY.OW in your Windows directory. This file can be used to locate such entries.

For example: Microsoft Visual C++ v5.0 contains one such corrupted key
(sub-keys of HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\CLASSES\CLSID\{B3943EF5-CEC5-11CF-AF20-00A0C9034837\). This key is split into two keys, "Component" and "CLSID", but should actually be "Component CLSID". This split key causes Norton Optimization Wizard to fail unless the key is renamed correctly (delete "Component" and rename "CLSID" to Component CLSID).
===========
If you encounter any problems with your system registry, or your system exhibits odd behavior after doing a registry optimization with Norton Optimization Wizard, shutdown your system into MS-DOS mode, switch to your Windows directory, and run RESTREG.BAT. This restores your system registry to its pre-optimized state. (Windows Millennium users may wish to consider creating a restore point with System Restore prior to running Optimization Wizard to enable any operations
to be undone if they are not satisfactory.)"
