I am trying to register a 32 bit com.dll in sysWOW64
C:\Windows\SysWOW64>regsvr32 xxx.dll i have copied the dll in both the
folders SysWOW64 and System32
it shows error like
The module "xxx.dll" failed to load. Make sure the binary is stored at
the specified path or debug it to check for problems with the binary
or dependent .DLL files
if i check dependency walker there it shows some missing files what are these files?
ATL110.DLL, MSVCR110.DLL, IESHIMS.DLL, MFPLAT.DLL, WLANAPI.DLL
these files are really necessary? i have downloaded redist files to overcome the problem but it failed still it shows the same error after installing the redist files
i have installed the same dll in windows 7 x64 and it registered successfully system but not in windows 2012 server x64 what cause the error? how to resolve the problem

You are trying to register a DLL on a Windows Server Core installation, but that DLL expects the components of the full desktop GUI to be present.
The giveaway for me (and why I asked you which version it was), is because I recognize some of those DLL names from a former life. For example:
Basically your DLL is incompatible with Windows Core. Even if you were able to make those DLLs available, chances are it still would not work, because those DLLs in turn will rely on other features that are not available.
