Cannot get .dll files to register

[GoogleCodeExporter]

After I downloaded 'WebM DirectShow Filter v1.0.2.0 - Installer' .zip, 
extracted the contained folder, and ran the .exe file as instructed, I received 
the following error message from Windows Media Player upon attempting to open a 
.webm file:

     "Windows Media Player cannot play the file. The Player might not      support the file type or might not support the codec that was used to compress the file."

Based on this I assumed that there was an error with the file location or just 
the .dll in general so I uninstalled and reinstalled the files again. I 
received the same message. After some brief research, I attempted to manually 
register the .dll files using the provided .bat file. It was then that I 
received the error message:

     "The module "webmsource.dll" failed to load.

Make sure...

The specified module could not be found."

I run a 64 bit Windows 8.1 on a Toshiba Satellite S55-A with an Intel Core i7 
processor.

Need more information about reproducing this: I cannot. 

Regarding the registration failure: That command line is incorrect based on 
looking at the command shell and where you have the files located.

In the command shell:
- You're running regsvr32 from the windows system32 directory, without full 
paths to the target dlls you're attempting to register.

From the folder window:
- The dlls are in the path shown in the window.

Your regsvr32.exe command is invoked as if the dlls you're attempting to 
register reside in C:\Windows\System32, while your folder window shows them 
residing within the webmdshow subdirectory of common files within the x86 
version of program files.
