Can't register a .dll File

[Ethan348]

When I try to register a .dll file ( for example regsvr32 shdocvw.dll) I often get the message
"the module shdocvw.dll was loaded but the entry point dllregistryserver was not found"

I am running the command as Administrator.

What should I do to effect the registration?

The module ""%1"" was loaded but the entry-point %2 was not found.Make sure that ""%1"" is a valid DLL or OCX file and then try again

Regsvr32.exe was unable to find the required entry point in the module specified in the command line. This can occur if the entry points are not exported correctly from the module or if the module is not a .DLL or .OCX file.

Can't install Fallout 4 because of this.. Is there any other way to skip this ISDone.dll issue?

Microsoft suggest trying a clean boot and seeing if you can install game in that mode. (how to do clean boot: https://support.microsoft.com/en-au/kb/929135) (these are actually instructions for gta 4 which also had same problem)

Also, run SFC/Scannow in a command prompt with admin rights

this post from yesterday suggests its a ram issue, though post is closed without a bp so not sure its true: http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-2656058/start-error-isdone-dll-installing.html
