Help! Why RegConnectRegistry works in exe but not DLL?

I've written an exe that calls RegConnectRegistry to connect to a remote
computer's HKEY_USER (although in my example code I'm actually connecting to
the local computer). This all works perfectly in the exe when called from a
command-line.

However, when I ported the code to a DLL, RegConnectRegistry now fails with
"error 53" "network path was not found" even though I'm hardcoding the
Server name in both the exe and dll (for testing purposes).

Any idea why it works in an exe and not a dll?

Check in debugger that all parameters are the same and you start it on the
same user account
