Mike, My point was that it looks like DataTrackPrinter.dll does not support COM registration and therefore does not export and implement DllRegisterServer function (as well as DllUnregisterServer). To prove that, you need to try to register this dll manually. Try this command in the command window:
regsvr32 DataTrackPrinter.dll if that succeed, it means that the problem is with tallow. You will also need to unregister this dll by using the following command: regsvr32 /u DataTrackPrinter.dll If running the first regsvr32 command fails with the message box saying "The module ... was loaded but the entry-point DllRegisterServer was not found." You have a non-COM dll and you cannot register it.

What I am trying to do is get this .dll registered during the installation. Can I do that with my .dll?
