When I download and install capicom.dll on Windows 7, the final step of installation is to get in the capicom.dll directory and run:regsvr32 capicom.dllI get this error message:"The module capicom.dll was loaded but the call to DllRegisterServer failed with error code 0x80070005. For more information about this problem, search online using the error code as a search term."When I search online, it says this error code occurs when the user does not have Administrator privileges when running regsvr32.exe. However, I have only one login to my Windows 7 box, and Control Panel confirms that is is an Administrator account.CAPICOM.DLL was deprecated from the SDK but supposedly can be downloaded and installed on Windows 7. I need to access an old government system that requires it.Has anyone successfully installed capicom.dll on a Windows 7 box? Any ideas about the error?Thanks in advance.

Was there a reason you needed a different verison on your system? I have version 2.1.0.2 already on my Windows 7 machine and generally Office software installs it. Its in my windows/system32 folder. date modified 12/10/2008 which is when I think I installed Office 2003 which would have been right after I installed Windows 7 Enterprise on this laptop. Was there some program you installed prior to trying to install capicom.dll? Have you tried accessing the govt system. I too work for the government and didn't have to do anything special.

I was following instructions that said nothing about the possibility that capicom.dll would already be installed on Windows 7. In fact, I searched and found it in two places (not the place you listed), so I will assume that it is installed and working.I suppose that the regsvr32.exe error code was due to the fact that capicom.dll was already installed? It would be unfortunate to have an error code mean widely different things.Is there any way to find out if a DLL is registered already?Thanks for your help.

To answer your original question, you would want to start CMD by choosing Run as Administrator (right click to access this feature). You'll have to answer a UAC prompt, but then your command window will have the necessary administrator permissions to do privileged operations such as registering a DLL.For what it's worth, there is no capicom.dll in my Windows 7 x64 installation, though I found a copy in my 32 bit Windows 7 virtual machine here:C:\Windows\system32>dir c:\capicom.dll /s Volume in drive C has no label. Volume Serial Number is 1860-6ACE Directory of c:\Program Files\Common Files\microsoft shared\CAPICOM 06/06/2009 02:47 PM 511,328 CapiCom.dllBy the way "capicom" stands for Cryptography Application Programming Interface, Common Object Model.Some interesting info here: http://blogs.msdn.com/karinm/archive/2009/01/19/capicom-dll-removed-from-windows-sdk-for-windows-7.aspx-Noel

Arthur Xie - MSFT We use capicom in VBScript to access local certificate store and certificate store on AD. Is there a way that we can use classes from .Net Framework 3.5 do the same thing? Is there a way that make capicom support win7 64bit?

Hi, I installed Microsoft Windows SDK for Windows 7 and .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 and no CAPICOM.dll has been installed and worse I`m having the same message ...

This is what you need to do, as capicom.dll is essentially depricated. Download the capicom SDK here - http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyId=860EE43A-A843-462F-ABB5-FF88EA5896F6&displaylang=en Then extract the MSI - using command line use the following command to unpackage the msi - msiexec /a PathToMSIFile /qb TARGETDIR=DirectoryToExtractTo Then find the capicom.dll file and use the regsvr32 to register it in Windows 7. You'll have to use elevated privelages to register the dll. So probably easiest to open the command prompt as Administrator(right click on CMD and say "Open as administrator") then register the dll with the following command: C:\Windows\System32\regsvr32.exe Pathtofile\capicom.dll Thats it!

Step1: Download the capicom.dll Step2: Copy the dll to the folder C:\Windows\System32. Step3: Register the dll with regsvr32.exe X64 version. %windir%\syswow64\regsvr32.exe /s %windir%\syswow64\capicom.dll Pls try again, waiting for your good news.

I can install capicom.dll!! THANX
