It might be because the dll doesn't have a DllRegisterServer entry point.

This is a .NET dll, NOT a COM dll, and so you don't regsvr32 it. Instead you need to install the Visual Studio Tools for Office from e.g. here.

I'm afraid not :_( In this message the user was using a wrong path to the dll file. In my case i'm copiying directly the full path from window explorer. – vfportero Aug 27 '09 at 08:38
