System Error # 998

[lclague]

During the install process I try to register a DLL file and get "System Error # 998"

What is a "998 error" and how does one correct it.

Target Operating System is Windows 7.



From the Setup Factory 7 setup log...

[12/30/2009 12:40:20] Success Install archive file: C:\Windows\system32\somefile.dll
[12/30/2009 12:40:23] Error Register COM file: C:\Windows\system32\somefile.dll - System Error # 998 (1)

I think it is something to do with nvalid access to memory location on win32.

John,

Thanks.

So if the error code is related to Win32 does that mean the error code would be the same when running under Win7.

Seems weird that there would be a complaint about a memory location when attempting to register a DLL.

Is this possibly related to some Win7 security issues for "legacy" DLLs?
