Question:

Unable to register ChilkatAx-9.5.0-win32.dll (v5.0.39) on Windows 8.1

May 13 '14 at 09:00

When I try to register ChilkatAx-9.5.0-win32.dll I've got the error:

[Window Title] RegSvr32

[Content] The module "ACCTRES.dll" was loaded but the entry-point DllRegisterServer was not found. Make sure that "ACCTRES.dll" is a valid DLL or OCX file and then try again.


Answer

The .bat script provided in the download will try to register any DLLs found in the directory where the .bat is located. Normally this is OK because the Chilkat ActiveX download unzips to a new sub-directory where the .bat script and the Chilkat DLL are present, and (of course) no other files will be present.

However, if you copy the Chilkat DLL and the .bat script somewhere else where other DLLs are located, you can have this problem.

The .bat script is very short and simple, and a quick review of it in a text editor should make it easy to see what it is doing..
