#1 -- You're posting to the wrong NG. You should be posting to a MS
programmer's NG about something like this.

#2 -- You should not be installing DLL(s) in the System32 directory that's
basically reserved for O/S DLL(s) or DLL(s) that can be used across
applications (common DLL(s)) that can be used by more than one program or
application.

#3 -- You should place DLL(s) such as the one you're talking about in the
directory where the executable resides and register the DLL from that
location.
