When updating MDaemon I get regsvr32 errors

I have a windows 2008 r2 install that runs MDaemon, and has from way back. Since (I'm guessing) version 18 I get a regsvr32 error at the end of upgrades.

In the most recent update (19.0.3? to 19.5) I updated and was told to restart the server. Not wanting to I tried to start the service manually and got DLL errors (obvs).

Thoughts?

Excellent reminder to shut off IIS during the reinstall, something that I do forget to do, but this looks like it is a part of the install that is using a relative path of the user to try and register a dll instead of the system folder when trying to execute regsvr32. Check out the attached images.

Unless, of course, it is catching the failure to reg a dll and is trying other paths and one of them is the sysnat~1 but not checking that it isn't there first? It doesn't tell me what it is trying to register and seems to function.

Hi Jim,

We are not using any relative paths to try to call regsvr32.exe.

Try running the installer as an administrator.
