DllRegisterServer returns 0x80020009 when trying to regist..

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.help_and_support (More info?)

The Edit menu in Regedt32.exe has a Permissions item. If thats the issue, I would try changing all child objects in
Hkey_Classes_Root (advanced button, both checkboxes, inherit.., and replace...)

Wow, thanks for the quick response, Mark! I've been pulling my hair out
trying to fix this problem. I only have access to a PC right now that
has regedit.exe, so I don't see any Permissions item, but you're saying
regedt32.exe has that item for any PC it's running on?

Hi,

You can also do the following to resolve this issue.

Restore file and registry security permissions to a known state.

For Windows XP users:

Download and unzip a small utility called Repair Permissions from http://djlizard.net/software/Repair%20Permissions.zip
Locate the unzipped folder, and double-click the !RUNME file.
The command prompt window will now open and will begin to restore the file and registry permissions to a known state, please be patient as the command can take some time to complete.
Once the command has completed, try to register a dll file again.

For Windows Vista/Windows 7 users:

Click Start>All Programs>Accessories, then right-click on “Command Prompt” and select “Run as Administrator”
Type in the following command exactly as you see it and press ENTER.
secedit /configure /cfg %windir%\inf\defltbase.inf /db defltbase.sdb /verbose
Wait for the command to complete, it can take some time so please be patient.
Once the command has completed, try to register a dll file again.
