在 Windows Server 2003 中注册 dll 的问题

Question

I have a dll (build using C++ and MFC) and when I try to register

regsvr32 myDll.dll

the prompt shows no errors and also doesn't show that the dll has been registered but on the Task Manager the process " regsvr32.exe*32 " get " stuck " (the process doesn't consume any CPU, doesn't die and just stay there until I kill him).

The problem started after I added CreateTimerQueue on my code and only occurs on Windows Server 2003.

Accordingly to the documentation this function it's accepted on Window Server 2003.

My dll it's compiled in 32-bits and I'm using the regsvr32 inside the sysWOW64 but also tried using the one inside system32.

Thanks in advance!

It looks like others have also experienced deadlocks with CreateTimerQueue in DllMain - see this . So rework your code so that the function is not called from DllMain .
