The previous posters are quite correct.  Microsoft created the regsvr 
mechanism for COM.  COM components may be stored in DLLs, but not every 
DLL is a COM component.  MySQL++ builds as a plain old DLL on Windows, 
not a COM component.  A regular DLL merely has to be somewhere in the 
executable search path for Windows to find it.  If your program doesn't 
run, no amount of fighting with regsvr will fix it.
