This is nothing to do with registration of DLLs, it just seems that way, thanks to Microsoft's mangled English. It's to do with the association of files with an extension of '.db', in that your test workstation already has an EXE associated with that extension.
I'm afraid I don't know how you could suppress this warning, other than going with a completely silent install. In a blatant exposure of a knowledge gap on my part, I'm afraid I don't know what the WI engine behaviour in that situation would be, whether it defaults to the new extension or retains the old. I suspect the former.

ORIGINAL: vijaykodaliWith the greatest of respect, this is nonsense. Can I politely suggest that you do some research on the Windows registry and how it's structured? Disregarding the misinformation, I'm intrigued to know how you think such an exercise will eliminate the problem.
one thing u need to do is remove the appropriate registry keys corresponding to this file extensions in HKCR and move them to HKLM\Software\classes\ .
