MS-Windows Troubleshooting
LoadLibrary ("LLLL") failed. GetLastError returns 0x0000007e
Symptom:
When attempting to register a COM object (e.g. Active-X
component or OCX) with ‘Regsvr32’, i.e.:
regsvr32 COM
it fails with a message box displaying:
LoadLibrary ("COM") failed
GetLastError returns 0x0000007e
Where ‘COM’ is the name of the COM object file.
Cause:
The COM object file could not be loaded, because the file could not be found.
Remedy:
Check the name of the COM object file to check that it has been correctly specified.
Check that the COM object is in the current directory or specify the full path to the file. If a path component is supplied to the call then check that the COM object file exists there.
