Hi I have a C++ Com component ('Component1.tlb'). I generated a managed dll (Component1.dll) using tlbimp.exe.
when I tried to register this 'Component1.dll' using Regasm.exe I got error:

RegAsm : error RA0000 : Failed to load Component1.dll because it is not a valid .NET assembly.

regasm is for registering .net assemblies that expose COM components. To register non-.net files use regsvr32

But with regsvr32, I got error:
"The module Component1.dll was loaded but entry-point DLLRegisterServer was not found".
Make sure that Component1.dll is a valid DLL or OCX file and then try again"
