You have to be administrator to regsvr32 something.

If you are already administrator launch the command line using "run as
administrator" from the contextmenu.
 
I have used it without doing any special elevations from the run box. If I
have problems with a command and it tells me needs elevation, I'll elevate
if prompted but like any of the commands, some that worked in XP don't work
in Vista. I've tested this using a series of commands that are in a
favorite KB of mine I recommend to try to repair IE along with SFC--one of
them on correting problems connecting to the web. The main problem I've
seen running with UAC or annoyance (some would say just a symptom of
enhanced security) is the odd folder that makes me single it out and take
permission to drag files into or to rename but I've become used to this and
it's gotten to be a reflex heading into the security tab. Accurate surveys
on how many people turn of UAC since the bell shaped curve of people are
the same people who think 90 mph in their gas guzzling cervical spine
fracturing front end killing SUVs is too slow will be interesting.

I find this a useful adjunct to SFC with IE problems and of course I use SFC
as a fixer for a lot of Windows and Win Mail problems that aren't
specifically attached to other fixes as well, but note not every command
works in Vista:

You'll need to open an elevated command prompt, press windows key and type
cmd.exe then crtl-shift-enter then alt-c, that will give you an elevated
command prompt, if you're in the local administrators group. By the way that
crtl-shift-enter works for any exe :)

Hm. Not at my system. Maybe this shortcut is language specific? I'm using a
german Vista 64bit RTM.
 
This problem really caused by User Policy. I have done it now. It is
different from Windows XP.
