edxadd not able to locate com reference

I'm replicating the Eviews Database Extension white paper example for custom files (first example). I've built my CustomDbMgr com file with no errors. I can also see the com reference in Visual Studio and VBA references and can see the properties of it. However the command "edxadd EDXSamples.CustomDbMgr" returns an error "EDXSamples.CustomDbMgr could not be found on this machine. Given that I can see it in my com references in VS, why can't EViews locate it. I'm running 64bit Eviews 8.1 latest build.
Many thanks
Steve

EViews does not believe your database extension has been registered with Windows.
Please see the
Distributing a Database Extension:Registering your Database Manager section of
http://www.eviews.com/download/whitepap ... erface.pdf
Once that has been done, you should have the following registry entry HKCR\EDXSamples.CustomDbMgr\CLSID. Does this entry exist?
If you would like, send an email to
support@eviews.com with a reference to this post along with your database extension (your dll file but rename it to have a txt extension) and we can take a look
