Hi

My client machine has msxml version version 8.0.7820.0, and the version on the setup is 8.10.8308.0.
During installation an error page is displayed as :

[[[Following files did not self-register.
1] c:\winnt\system32\msxml3.dll
    A dynamic link library (DLL) initialization routine  failed]]]

Is there a way to solve this issue.

thanks

Do you have the supporting files (msxml3a and msxml3r)?

And were these supporting DLLs copied BEFORE you tried to self register?  'cause if not, it would fail.

Yes msxml3a and msxml3r was included in the filgroup under <<Windows System Files>>.
msxml3 was included in the filegroup under <<Windows System Self-reg Shared Files>>

thanks

Okay, but that doesn't mean the supporting stuff was copied BEFORE it tried to register the main DLL.

To ensure this you either need to switch to batch registrations, or move the file to the other group and register it manually.

To accomplish the first suggestion:
Ensure that Enable(SELFREGISTERBATCH) is called before transferring files with ComponentMoveData, and that Do(SELFREGISTRATIONPROCESS) is called after ComponentMoveData. These calls register the self-registering files using the batch method.
