When you use Regsvr32.exe to register .dll files, you cannot use the /c switch on Windows XP-based or Windows 2000-based computers. On Windows 98-based or Windows NT 4.0-based computers, you can use the /c switch to send output from Regsvr32.exe to the console.
For example, you can use the following command line on a Windows 98-based computer to register the Urlmon.dll file and send the output (success or failure) to C:\Regout.txt: start regsvr32 /c urlmon.dll >c:\regout.txt STATUSMicrosoft has confirmed that this functionality is no longer included with Regsvr32.exe in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article. MORE INFORMATION
This behavior may have an impact in cases where output from Regsvr32.exe is sent to a file for audit of successful and unsuccessful completions.
