Registering DLLs for everyone who connects to Terminal Server

We have a Terminal Server 2003 which has MapBook installed. In order for all
the TS users to use MapBook a separate installation of DLLs using a batchfile
is required. We've tried to register the DLLs normally...that didn't work.
So, we let the TS administrator install the DLLs. That didn't work. So,
what is the way to register DLLs in Terminal Server so all users have access
to them?

All you have to do is register them the normal way (regsvr32) and make sure
they are in a directory that all users can access. Have you tried running
filemon to see if your application is having trouble finding them or reading
them?

so, I can not use the batchfile execution to auto install the DLLs? I will
have to do it manually?

As it turns out, it appears the bat file provided to us by the vendor (ESRI)
does more than just register DLLs. It also modifies the registry :

REGEDIT4

; the first guid is the guid representing the component to register and the
second represents the component category

It appears to be changing the HKey_Classes_root. Not sure that bearing that
has on the issue. Wish I had more to add.

It appears that the BAT file does more than register DLLS. The vendor (ESRI)
provided the BAT file but it wasn't geared for TS:

REGEDIT4

;DSMapBookUIPrj.MapSeriesTab

;DSMapBookUIPrj.MapSeriesExt

;DSMapBookUIPrj.MapSeriesBar

;DSMapBookUIPrj.CreateMapBook

;DSMapBookUIPrj.DSPageIdentifier

;DSMapBookUIPrj.clsMapGridButton

;DSMapBookUIPrj.clsStringGridButton

Those registry changes look harmless. Did you try my suggestion to see if
your app is actually loading (or attempting to load) the DLLs?
