Hi,
I have to install a software in a Windows Server 2003 SBS which gives me an error code. Contacting the software manufacturer, they stated that the error code was related with component registration, and so they gave me a solution:
1. Copy some dll files in a specific folder to a new place;
2. Uninstall the software;
3. Register those dll's manually with regsvr32;
4. Install the software again - this time I would receive no errors (the components are already registered).
Now since I have a stable Windows Server 2003 SBS instance, running 24/7 for the last year with no issues at all, I need to know exactly what I'm doing, before I start getting problems with software on server.
So, I have some questions, can anyone help me getting answers? 🙂
1# regsvr23 can register, and unregister dll's. Is this "safe"? I mean, does it really uninstall all stuff if, in the future, I need it to? With no residues in some obscure registry corner or secret folder?
2# Is there a way I can list the registered dll's in the system?
3# I'll copy the dll's to another folder, the uninstall the software. When I register them from that new folder, do I have to keep the dll's there? Or can I delete the folder after registration? (the software will create a new folder with again the same dll's, but obvious on a diferent location from the temporary one I created)
Thanks
