Re-register MSXML3.dll for updates

I have attempted to re-register MSXML3.dll and a list of other dlls as posted
by TaurArian in response to the Windows Update's message "files required are
no longer registered or installed on your computer". All dlls register except
MSXML3.dll which returns an error code 0X80070005 (access denied). The dll is
where it belongs but I cannot register it.

One way to diagnose that symptom is to use RegMon
(e.g. in case there is a permissions problem with a registry key)
Another way is to use DependencyWalker's Profiler
to give you a trace of the entry points used when the regsvr32.exe
command is passed that input. (E.g. the access denied error code
could be bogus if something unexpected is happening
such as a call to a secondary module is failing.)

Hi,

You could reset the registry security settings on all registry keys and
see if it helps.


If you have WinXP Pro:

Use the command line tool secedit.exe to reset the registry security
settings back to the defaults.

From the Start/Run menu, run the command line exactly as listed below
(note that command line will wrap over two lines in this post, you
need to unwrap it back to one line):

%comspec% /k secedit.exe /configure /cfg %windir%\repair\secsetup.inf
/db secsetup.sdb /verbose /areas REGKEYS

More about secedit.exe here:

If you have WinXP Home:

Use subinacl.exe (a tool from Microsoft) to reset the registry
permissions:

Follow the procedure in "Step 1: Reset permissions" in this post:

I would have considered edit the reset.cmd file and removed the two
lines starting with "subinacl /subdirectories".
