RegSvr32 error : Access Violation

Question

While registering one DLL developed in VC++ 10.0 on WinXP, I am getting following error (detected thru Dependency Walker profiler) :
First chance exception 0xC0000005 (Access Violation) occurred in "c:\windows\system32\NTDLL.DLL".

This is despite NT DLL having got hooked successfully.

What can be the reason? How to find out the cause?

Hooked? What do you mean by "hooked NTDLL.DLL"??

Are you saying this error occurred in RegSvr32, Dependency Waker or in an application that you wrote yourself?

That error usually indicates a screwed up pointer somewhere in your code. Sorry I can't be more specific, but it's been a while since I did any unmanaged C++ stuff.
