Unable to register a dll - "Access is denied"

Hi,

I'm trying to register an ActiveX dll on a remote Windows Server 2003
Enterprise 32 Bit system using Remote Desktop. I've tried both
regsrv32, and Reggie.exe to do this, and both give me the same error:

regsvr.exe
LoadLibrary("c:\WINDOWS\system32...")failed - Access is denied

reggie.exe
HRESULT == 0X80070005
Access is denied

I'm logged on as a user that is a member of the administrators group
that has full permissions to the dll itself. I checked the local
security settings and I don't see anything in there that would seem to
apply to this condition. The Remote Registry Service is running and I
am able to make manual changes to the registry using regedit.exe,
although hacking it manually to register a dll is not something I'm
ready to attempt.

I'm certain that nothing is accessing the dll currently, and it's
never been registered before.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Reboot would be an option
albeit a painful one since this is a full time remote build machine.

Thanks
Eric
