Weird Issue: Unable to register the DLL/OCX

I'm installing SONAR Artist on a Win10 laptop that's been reformatted.  Downloaded Command Center, etc.  Chose to "Install all" after clicking on SONAR Artist.  It was doing it's thing for a couple minutes when this error came up:
 
C:\Program Files\Cakewalk\Shared Plugins\multivoicechorusflanger.dll
Unable to register the DLL/OCX: RegSvr32 failed with exit code 0x3.
Click Retry to try again, Ignore to proceed anyway (not recommended),
or Abort to cancel installation.
 
So now what?
 
 
UPDATE:  This particular issue seemed to be related to the Classic Creative FX Suite.  I did nothing to resolve it right away, instead I went ahead and installed everything else (Rapture, CA-2A Leveling Amp, etc.).  Then I re-ran the FX Suite installation, and it went through no problem.

    You are not alone, 
     
    What version of Windows 10-- 1703 or 1709?
    And are you using McAfee?

    <geek alert>
    Sigh, a downstream result of using a free setup tool that registers Dlls this way instead of using a Windows Installer-based setup.

    That DLL does not require registration.

    Then tell Cakewalk to stop running RegSvr32 on it!!!!!! 
     
    "C:\Program Files\Cakewalk\Shared Plugins\multivoicechorusflanger.dll

    It does actually export the canonical COM functions, no idea why the flag would not be set.

    All the plug-ins in "C:\Program Files\Cakewalk\Shared Plugins" are DX format and must be registered.

    That may have once been the case but is no longer. Of 21 DLLs in that folder, 11 are ActiveX and require registration, specifically the Sonitus suite. I'd assume it was just a typo in the install script, but that doesn't explain why one user gets the message and others do not.

    There are 2 different regsvr32.exe:
    Under Windows 10 x64 you have to run the "%systemroot%\System32\regsvr32.exe"
    And with Windows 10 x32 you have to run "%systemroot%\SysWoW64\regsvr32.exe"
    Probably there is a wrong code in the installer.
     
    Maybe this works 
    Open a cmd box and go to the path of "multivoicechorusflanger.dll"
    Then run        %systemroot%\System32\regsvr32.exe  multivoicechorusflanger.dll
