Hello All,
I had similar issues with another dll which was not compatible with the "regi.exe". I had also the exact same problem as mentioned in this discussion but after doing the following for the "regi.exe" the "
SAPNewDBMDXProvider.dll" also disappeared.  You may also try the followings considering "SAPNewDBMDXProvider.dll" as the target dll:
1. use the tool www.dependencywalker.com/ to find out exaclty which dlls are missing/not the right version/not compatible by opening the target program (SAPNewDBMDXProvider.dll)
2. find out the right dlls from the right source. In my case it was part of the windows visual c++ 2010 x64 redistributatble package. so i downloaded the package.
3. before you install the right dll make sure that you uninstall preveously installed dlls/packages with the same name. in my case i had to uninstall c++ 2008 / 2005 redistributable packages x86.
4. then install
5. do not forget to reboot your machine
6.if the problem still persists you may forcfully register the new dll by the command
regsvr32.exe "the target dll"
hope it helps.
best,
Mohammad
