Strange behaviour of Regsvr32

Hello All,

We have an application made in VB6 one of the reference used by the application is MSADO10.DLL (1.0.1.19). The application works great in Win xp, Win 7 (32 bit) after registering the required DLL and OCX files. Now the requirement is to do a compatibility testing on Win 7 (64 Bit) all the DLL and OCX have been registered successfully on the Win 7 (64b) machine but MSADO10.DLL.

When i register MSADO10.DLL i get no response(Success or failure) from regsvr32 (no silent argument given in the command). I also found out that in task manager under process section it was showing regsvr32 as active. Please note that i am able to register other DLL and OCX file except MSADO10.DLL.

I am able to register MSADO10.DLL in xp and WIN 7 32b and Regsvr32 prompts the success message after registering. But this is not the case when i register it in Win 7 64 bit. I forgot to say i use the Command Prompt(32bit) under SysWOW64.

If anyone can help me in this regards it would mean a great help to me.

Thanks,
Hassan

This is quite often occurence...
Try to pass the full path to MSADO10.dll.
