RegSvr32.exe fails to launch

Question

I'm trying to register a 64-bit, COM-based DLL into the registry through the 64-bit regsvr32.exe. However, after clicking on "Run as Administrator", regsvr32.exe shows the following message box:

The message box disappears after clicking OK or Close, and nothing else happens.

What could have been possibly gone wrong?

You can't run `regsvr32.exe` directly like you are. It is a command-line program, you need to run it from inside a command prompt window so that you can then provide it with required input parameters, like the path to your DLL — Remy Lebeau, Apr 23 '20 at 17:08

You need to open up a command prompt in administrator mode and write

C:\>regsvr32 {path to where .dll is}
