My friend is writing a plug in for Corel Draw. The problem is that the code installs and works just fine under Windows 2000 but the install chokes on Windows 98 when it tries to register a dll that he wrote.

dllregisterserver in <DLL WE CREATED> return code was: 0x80004005

Any ideas? I told him to come on here and post a question as many of you give insightful technical answers, not the run-of-the-mill "reinstall windows". (which has already been tried on multiple machines)

How are you registering the DLL on Win2K & Win98?

The dllregisterserver function. We tried manually registering the .DLL with regsvr32 and that didn't work either.

Plugin in an ActiveX DLL? That would mean it is trying to
implement one or more interfaces. I wonder if the interfaces it is
trying to implement have been registered on the computers that
fail. You need to post more information on how this DLL was
written.
