Register type library x64 regtlib

64-bit typelib regtlib

I'm running Windows 7 x64, and need to register a type library file (.tlb). I've done this previously (on a Vista x64 machine) but neglected to take notes as to how I achieved it...

There is no regtlib.exe / regtlibv12.exe on the system. I have copied across the regtlibv12.exe from a Windows XP system, however this will "not run".

I have also attempted to register the TLB via "regsvr32" (tried using both the 32 and 64 bit versions) however always get the "Windows system mismatch" error.

I have been performing these operations using an elevated privilege command prompt.

Can anyone help?

I used http://www.vbaccelerator.com/home/VB/Utilities/Type_Library_Registration_Utility/article.html

running as admin. Also includes source code if you're curious what's required.

As of 2019, the utility can be downloaded here: https://github.com/tannerhelland/vbAccelerator-Archive/tree/master/VB/Utilities/Type_Library_Registration_Utility
