[AccessD] A2K: Regsvr32 assistance please

Hi Darren

First, note the windir of Win9x and WinXP typically is C:\Windows, not
C:\WINNT.

Second, for long filenames, you probably need to add quotes before
passing the command line to Shell():

strCmd = Chr(34) & "C:\Winnt\System32\regsvr.exe" & Chr(34) & " " &
Chr(34) & "C:\Winnt\system32\comctl32.ocx" & Chr(34)

or, for short filenames, you may not need them:

strCmd = "C:\Winnt\System32\regsvr.exe" & " " &
"C:\Winnt\system32\comctl32.ocx"

Then adjust your Shell() syntax:

lngReturn = Shell(strCmd, vbNormalFocus)
