InstallLib always sets the error flag

Hi, I'm doing this:

!define LIBRARY_COM
!insertmacro InstallLib REGDLL NOTSHARED REBOOT_NOTPROTECTED "${source}\my.dll" "C:\Program Files\MyProgram" "C:\Program Files\MyProgram"
!undef LIBRARY_COM
IfErrors +1 +2
MessageBox MB_OK "Failed to register mydll.dll"

This command copies the dll to its location, but then I always get the messagebox popup, because it returns an error. The dll didn't existed before, so it's impossible to have been locked.

This is in a windows xp machine using nsis 2.27.

Can someone help me please?

Best Regards,

Did you use ClearErrors before using InstallLib?

Perhaps placing some IfErrors in the InstallLib macro followed by some MessageBox's will tell you what is causing the error flag to be set.

Yes, that was what I have done, that how I found out with was the dll that made InstallLib set the error flag, but how can I find why?

Does it happen without LIBRARY_COM as well?

Yes

Is the reboot flag set as well? It might be because it couldn't overwrite at the moment. Also, does my.dll have DllRegisterServer exported?
