I think your best bet is to use GetModuleFileNameEx() and friends
(probably need to EnumProcessModules(), I can't remember if there is a
direct API call to give you the current DLL. Or you can save away the
HMODULE value in DllMain() in a global variable - that might be easier)
to find out the exact path of the DLL that regsvr32 is invoked on, and
write that path to the registry.

That way you are completely independent of where the DLL is installed,
as long as it's not moved. (And not being able to move a program/dll
after it has been installed is pretty normal)
