I have the same message with XnViewShellExt.dll : unable to register the Dll/OCX: dllregisterserver failed; error code 0x8007007E

Pierre say me to install XnView without Shell extension.
Any other idea ?

Lucjo
It's strange, which OS do you have?

Searching the net you can find some infos like http://forum.rightmark.org/topic.cgi?id=6:432 that can help to figure out.

I had the same message with error code 0x800700e. Registering ATL.DLL (regsvr32 atl.dll) as proposed in the RightMark forum removed the problem.

Thanks!

Kind Regards,

Just got this same problem. I had some old version working as everytime i installed newer version it would whine about the DLL "something". I just ignored it everytime. This time i uninstalled the whole thing and reinstalled and since then ive not been able to get the xnshellex to work.

I had the "Unable to register the DLL/OCX: DllRegisterServer failed; code 0x80040154" issue and registering ATL.DLL (startmenu -> run -> "regsvr32 atl.dll") fixed it.

Just to report that I just had this same problem on a fresh install of WinXP Pro Sp2. I have an older install of XP Sp2 on another partition on this machine and ShellExt setup there didn't complain.
Anyway, registering ATL.DLL as advised fixed it.

I've downloaded the installer package of XnViewShellExt v1.6 32-bit.

When I run the command to register it on Windows 2000 SP4, ...

Code: Select all

regsvr32.exe H:\XnView\XnViewShellExt.dll
... an error message pops up:
RegSvr32 wrote:DllRegisterServer in H:\XnView\XnViewShellExt.dll failed.
Return code was: 0x8002801d
Re-registering C:\WINNT\system32\atl.dll as suggested doesn't help.

Do you have an old version of XnViewShell on your system?

Hello Pierre :)

Prior to registering the new one I made sure that v1.5 is unregistered and all old entries are deleted from the registry.

Yes, I just installed the full version of 1.91 on Windows 2000 PC and got the same error message and same phenomenon.
Fogot to add the writtings on the scrren, as theya re slightly different

****************

C:\Program Files\XnView\ShellEx\XnViewShellExt.dll

Unable to register the DLL/OCX: DllRegisterServer failed: Code 0x8002801D.

Click retry to try again, Ignore to proceed anyway (not recommended),
or Abort to cancel installation

****************
It seems as if it's a Windows 2K problem only. Pierre, could it be that Verclsid.exe has to do with this?

Hello everyone!

I had also this error today, on a Windows 2000 SP 4 system (French version) :
C:\Program Files\XnView\ShellEx\XnViewShellExt.dll

Unable to register the DLL/OCX: DllRegisterServer failed; code 0x8002801D.

Click Retry to try again, Ignore to proceed anyway (not recommended), or Abort to cancel installation.
But the shell extension works !!! ;)

In fact, I didn't installed XnView itself, as I just wanted functionalities of the ShellEx. :D
So the problem could be linked with the absence of XnView, but it could also be linked with administration privileges that my Windows user hasn't (as my machine is part of an Active Directory network). :o
