Hello,

I have developed a dll application using VB .Net and i can register my
tlb file on my machine without any trouble. Bu i cannot register it on
another machine.

I get the error message;
"The component DLL's self-registration routine failed. The DllRegisterServer
function failed or the routine did not register the component"

Is there a compilation setting I shoul do, or what? Any comments, helps will
be gratefull.

Best Regards and Best Wishes.
Ersen

Well VB.Net doesn't have a DLL project wizard, so you probably built a class
library, and if so, it won't be a COM server exporting DllRegisterServer. In
addition, registering a tlb file is one thing, registering a .NET class library
for COM interop is something else. You should probably be looking at regasm.exe
(are you trying to run regsvr32 on your class library?)
