Question

I am getting an error 0x80070716 when regsvr32 is done with the ATL Dll x64, under Win7 x64.

I made a search before putting the question, and verfying with some threads in other web sites like this one http://www.tek-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=1085835 and an other one here it is http://forums.codeguru.com/printthread.php?t=366207. But those threads have not solve my problem.

Please let me know if anyone could help me.

Another possible reason for such error is missing entries for .rgs files in your resource file, i.e. <my_library>.rc

Each .rgs file must be referenced in REGISTRY section of <my_library>.rc like this:

IDR_MYRESOURCE REGISTRY "myresource.rgs"

To open your .rc file in text mode, use "View Code" command in its context menu in Solution Explorer.
