I can register DAO350.dll with regsvr32: the registration succeeds.
But I can't create a DAO.dbEngine.35 object.

There is only one copy of DA350.dll on the target machine.

I am using VBS for the test:

Dim DAOobj
Set DAOobj = CreateObject("DAO.dbEngine.35")

It works with "DAO.dbEngine.36" (DAO360.dll is also installed and
registered)

My application needs DAO 3.5.

What kind of problems could be preventing DAO 3.5 from loading, but not
preventing it from registering?

Ok. VBS doesn't provide a licence key, like Access does, and
my install hadn't provided a licence key, like the Access
install does.

What version of Database?
Access 97 uses DAO 3.51 and Access 2000 uses DAO 3.6.
