BUG: TCProps.dll Fails to Register During SetupID: Q195228
|
During the "setup is updating your system" phase of installation, you might receive the following error message:
TCPROPS.DLL was unable to register itself in the system registry.
TCProps.dll is created using ATL. ATL registration requires 8.3 file name support. The registration fails when 8.3 file name support is turned off using the System Policy Editor.
Use one of the following to work around this problem:
regsvr32 tcprops.dll
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article.
To find out if a directory has a short filename, change directories to its parent directory. The execute dir /ad /x. If the directory name is not an 8.3 name, there is no 8.3 name next to it and TCProps.dll resides in that directory or a child directory, it fails to register.
0x0000007E - "The specified module could not be found"
