[Solved] Regsvr32 error: 'The specified procedure could not be found'

Hi
My job is to create a DLL for a bigger project. It's been working fine, but it seems I've done something to it in the last couple of days that prevents it from being registered correctly using Regsvr32.

Sure, I can roll back my code etc but I'm looking for a slightly more efficient and constructive (rather than destructive in terms of code writing) method for solving the problem.

The error in the title occurs as soon as Regsvr32 starts running.

I use Visual Studio 2005.

I've tried debugging my DLL by putting Regsvr32 as the command line command in the debug section of the project property and setting my DLL name as the input (and the DLL directory as the working directory of course).

However, the thing breaks before I can catch it with a break point. Break point in the App constructor is too late at catching whatever the culprit is.

The error is happening so quickly I suspect it's something to do with memory allocation, so things like declaring static variables seemed like a good target. However I have had the code working with the current set of static variables. The only thing I have done is to remove a few.

The DLL passes through the compiler quite happily.

It's happened before and the problem was that I had declared a static variable CStdiofile m_myFile = NULL.

But this time, that doesn't seem to be the case.

I'm lost as to what to do. Any help greatly appreciated!

================================================

It took 3 engineers and a whole working day, but we figured it out in the end.

It's basically the same as the suggested resolution: I was using a 64-bit specific function on a 32-bit machine!

Thanks for the suggestion, anyway!
