Probably some dependency is missing.

Get some kind of dependency checker or DLL tool that allows you to look at the symbols in the DLL. If you do not see "DllRegisterServer", it likely cannot be self-registered.
Note that the IS docs also say:
"Always use SELFREGISTER together with the SHAREDFILE option, combining them with the bitwise OR operator ( | )."
My advice is to try the XCopyFile() without the SELFREGISTER bitflag (just SHAREDFILE). You shouldn't need dependent DLLs around to just register a DLL.
Generally, if you can't get the DLL to register with regsvr32.exe, it isn't self-registering.
