How do I install the DLL file I have downloaded from DLL-Box.com.
Step 1
- Open the zip-file you downloaded from DLL-Box.com
- Extract the DLL file to a location on your computer.
If you are unsure about how to extract your zip-file we recommend using File Viewer Plus 3 . With it you can open your zip-file as well as over 300 other file formats (like video, music, images, pdf etc.) It’s a handy tool to keep around.
- After extracting your zip file, place the extracted DLL file in the directory of the program is requesting the file. Make sure to use a 32bit DLL file for a 32bit program, and a 64bit file for a 64bit program. Failure to do so will likely result in a 0xc000007b error.
Step 2
If that does not help your problem, place the file to your system directory.
By default, this is
C:\Windows\System (Windows 95/98/Me),
C:\WINNT\System32 (Windows NT/2000), or
C:\Windows\System32 (Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, 8.1, 10).
On a 64bit version of Windows, the default folder for 32bit DLL-Box is C:\Windows\SysWOW64\ , and for 64bit dll-Box C:\Windows\System32\
Make sure to overwrite any existing files (but make a backup copy of the original file).
Reboot your computer.
Step 3
If the problem still occurs, try the following to register the DLL file:
For 32bit DLL-Box on a 32bit Windows, and for 64bit DLL-Box on a 64bit Windows:
- Open an elevated command prompt.
- To do this, click Start, click All Programs, click Accessories, right-click "CommandPrompt", and then click Run as administrator.
- In Windows 8/10, go to the Start screen. Start typing cmd and Windows will find "Command Prompt". Right click "Command Prompt" and choose "Run as administrator".
- If you are prompted for an administrator password or for a confirmation, type the password, or click Allow.
- Type regsvr32 "filename".dll and press Enter.
Registering 32bit DLL-Box on a 64bit Windows:
- Open an elevated command prompt, as instructed above.
- In the command prompt, start by typing following and press enter:
- cd c:\windows\syswow64\
- then type the following and press enter:
- regsvr32 c:\windows\syswow64\"filename".dll
Finally, reboot your PC one last time to refresh the memory. That should do it!
