I took the fact that it succeeded on a version of Windows into account and because of that you should know that it is not down to the entrypoint not being found. Or I put it down to crappy programming returning the wrong error. Unless there is a way to tell a DLL that it shouldn't allow a particular version of Windows to see the exports. There is also no way to tell a DLL to not allow it to run on a later version of Windows.
You can give a minimum runtime version but not a maximum. So there is nothing which would selectively stop it from working in a later version of Windows. The only things which can stop it from successfully registering a server where it succeeded on previous versions are few. One of them is if you have been trying to register a 64 bit server onto a 32 bit machine. This isn't too much of a stretch right now because you never mentioned what platform your Windows XP was an XP x64 version existed and a Vista x64 version existed.
So if you are currently trying to register it on a 32 bit version of Windows 7 then it would explain all of the above. Why it is failing to register and why it is coming up with the entrypoint not found error. The only other option is that it became corrupt when being copied to the machine. But very accurate error messages are the best thing to give, never shorten them, giving them exactly as they are is the best thing you can do.
So could you give more information on the versions of Windows you have tried it on including your current Windows 7. While you are at it could you give more information on the server itself, including the machine it was built for and what functions are being exported you can get this from dumpbin. If you really want to be daring, you could try manually registering the server.
Go to Start - All Programs - Accesories. Right click on the Command window and select "Run as administrator" Now register the dll normally via : regsrvr32 xxx. And while doing this, if you get error code 0x, try the solution in DllRegisterServer failed with the error code 0x , but make sure, you open command prompt as Run as Administrator. Part of the confusion regarding regsvr32 is that on bit windows the name and path have not changed, but it now registers bit DLLs.
The bit regsvr32 exists in SysWOW64, a name that appears to represent bit applications. When you think of it this way the name makes sense even though it is confusing in this context.
