How to install DLL-files

                                                                                  Dll file

“DLL” or Dynamic-link library is a type of windows system file having the extension *.dll, *.ocx, or *.drv. These files constitute Microsoft’s shared library concept under the windows operating system. DLL files form the information grid of the operating system and every program has a particular *.dll file associated with it. Every time aDLL file gets corrupted or damaged, it has to be replaced immediately to avoid the termination or crash of the program. DLL files are free system files that are essential to the working of the operating system. Microsoft’s software repository has a copy of almost all system based dll files available.

Other private or third party software also have a software cache dedicated to this purpose.  Have your programs stopped working because of a dll file corruption?..Google’em up! There is always a solution to this problem. 

Procedure:

Dll file for the required software program has to be downloaded from the internet before being used.

When the required file is downloaded, unzip them using winzip or winrar software.

Copy the file and paste it into the program directory.

The default windows system folder is located at “C\windows\system32”

Before copying the file, make sure you have a backup of the original file.

Then, reboot your computer for the changes to take place.

After reboot, go to RUN command and type “cmd”.

You will get a command prompt where you need totype regsvr32 "filename".dll and press ‘Enter’.

 

Conclusion:

Voila! This procedure installs the required .dll file to your operating system. Keep in mind that the default system directory changes as the operating system.  Viruses or software bugs may cause this problem. Antivirus scan or windows update will fix your system errors and prevent future dll failures and keep your PC or Lap, a healthy one.
