There is a message forum at the bottom of the article/blog published from where you would have downloaded this project/assembly. Use that forum to reach out the author for any discussion or help.

This is general Q&A section and would be difficult to respond for anyone about it.

BTW, in order to register assembly, you don't need to put them into system32 folder. On the contrary, you should refrain from putting your custom assemblies into system folders until really needed.

Also, in case, if it's an old project, make sure to upgrade it to latest versions and tryout (given you are trying on Win10), there might be older versions of dependencies involved which are no longer available.
