I have a DLL I wrote in C# which I want to use in my VB6 application.

In VS2008 the project property "Register for COM interop" is checked, and when I compile the DLL and try to use it on my development machine - it runs ok.

I need to run it on a computer which does not have VS2008, so I tried to register this DLL like so: 

C:\WINDOWS\system32>..\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\regasm myDLL.dll /tlb: myDLL.tlb /codebase

but then when I try to run it I get this error:

Automation Error. The system cannot find the file specified.

Can anybody tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Just like you specified the full path to regasm.exe, you need to specify the full path to your .dll ;-)
