DLL file in windows. Automatic installation of dynamic libraries (DLLs)
DLL program Suite.
Before moving on to the review of the new useful program, I want to thank my readers for their active support. Mine comes out on Monday new book called "Safe Freebie @ on the Internet". Recently, following the link I gave detailed information about the contents of the new book and how to purchase it. To be honest, I didn’t expect such a stir. Of course, I understood that the book was relevant, but to such an extent... Since then, after the announcement appeared, pre-orders have arrived for almost half of the first printing! This makes me happy! This means there will be a second and third additional circulation. For those who are not yet aware of what the book is about and how you can purchase it, the link is above.
After this lyrical digression, we smoothly move on to a review of the new interesting program called DLL Suite. This program allows, in automatic mode find problems in dynamic libraries oh and fix them.
What are dynamic libraries? I won’t overload you with unnecessary information (do you need it?). Those who are interested can read information about them on Wikipedia at the link. I’ll just say that they are necessary for the operation of one or another program or game installed on you. You have probably already encountered a periodically appearing window when starting some games or programs, “telling” that it is impossible to start the program or game due to the absence of one or another dynamic library (DLL). To fix this problem (downloading and installing the necessary DLL), sometimes it is necessary to “shovel” the entire Internet. The DLL Suite program, when launched, will automatically detect missing dynamic libraries, download them and install them. The version of the program proposed in this article is free. The paid version is expanded and solves more problems; if you wish, you can easily find it on torrents. Demon paid version Download DLL Suite from the official website using the link.
We install.
Let's get to work.
After scanning the system, DLL problems will be shown. We eliminate them and, if desired, download the “cracked” paid version of the program from torrents and eliminate the remaining problems.
Hello friends.
This article is for those who receive messages from their computer about missing or damaged dynamic libraries. Don't know what it is? Then you can first read my blog, which describes all their importance. So, to solve the mentioned problem, you should know how to install DLL files. I'm going to tell you about this now.
Algorithm of actions
When you try to open this or that software, an error pops up that the DLL file was not found? In this case you need:

Now the game or program should launch without problems. Still won't open? So, let's follow me further.
Library registration
Sometimes simple room There are not enough files in the folder. They still need to be registered in the system. This can be done in several ways, but their essence is the same.
Through the Run window
Do you know how this window is called up? If not, then you need to press Win keyboard+R.
The command regsvr32.exe should be entered into it along with the name of the downloaded file, that is, the one that you memorized in the first step of the previous instructions.
The result should be approximately the same as in the picture.
Didn't work out? Try specifying the full path to the file - along with the location in the folder where you dropped it. Don't forget to confirm the action with the "OK" button.
Using the command line
An alternative option is to do the same thing, only on the command line:
- Run it as administrator via the right-click menu;
- Enter the same command and the full address of the file;
- Press Enter.
At the end of any of the methods, you should receive a message about successful registration.
Instead, you are once again pointed out a mistake? I have an answer to this too.
Causes and resolution of errors
The registration may result in an error indicating that the file module you are adding has already been loaded or is incompatible with the version of Windows. This can happen for several reasons:
- The library does not require registration, since it does not provide such a function.
- The system has already registered it.
- You downloaded a broken or inappropriate file.
What can I recommend? Load the library from another resource (for example from this: https://www.dll.ru) and reinstall it.
With this I say goodbye to you, but not for long.

It often happens that some program does not want to start, because... You are missing a certain DLL file on your computer. What to do in this case? You need to download and install this file. Co downloading DLL a file from the Internet usually does not cause problems, but how to install it?
The first way to install a DLL file:
The easiest way is to simply place the dll file you downloaded in the folder with the program you are trying to run. This method is very simple, but does not always work.
The second way to install a DLL file:
The second way is to place the downloaded dll file in the system folders of your operating system. First, you need to find out what operating system you have. To do this, right-click on the “My Computer” icon on the desktop and go to “Properties”. The type of your operating system will be indicated there:
If you have a 32-bit operating system, then:
- Open My Computer.
- Go to the "Windows" folder.
- Find the "System32" folder there and place the downloaded DLL file in it.
- Open My Computer.
- Open system disk(usually drive "C").
- Go to the "Windows" folder.
- Find the "SysWOW64" folder there and place the downloaded DLL file in it.
- Restart your computer for the changes to take effect.
The third method is used if you installed the dll file using the second method, but you still get an error. You need to manually indicate to the system that you installed the dll file. To do this:
- Go to the Start menu.
- Enter "cmd" in the search bar. And open the found program.
- In the window that opens, enter " regsvr32 dll_file_name.dll". (for example, like this: "regsvr32 test.dll")
- Restart your computer.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Open the zip file you downloaded from the site.
- Extract the DLL file to any location on your computer.
- Next, we advise you to place the file in the folder of the program that requests this file. Make sure you are using a 32-bit DLL file format for a 32-bit program and a 64-bit DLL file format for a 64-bit program, otherwise you may receive error 0xc000007b.
- If the above steps do not solve your problem, place the file in system folder. By default this folder is located here:
- 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).
- C:\Windows\System (Windows 95/98/Me),
- In 64-bit version Windows folder for 32-bit DLL files the default location is here:
C:\Windows\SysWOW64\ , and for 64-bit DLL files
C:\Windows\System32\ .
Be sure to overwrite any existing files (but keep backup copy original file).
Restart your computer.
If this does not resolve the issue, try the following steps to add the file to the registry:
For 32-bit DLL files in 32-bit Windows versions and for 64-bit DLL files on 64-bit Windows:
- Open command line with elevated rights.
- To do this, click Start, All Programs, select Accessories, right-click on Command Prompt, then click “Run as administrator.”
- If you are asked to enter an administrator password or confirm, enter the password or click Allow.
- Next, type regsvr32 "filename".dll and press Enter.
To add 32-bit DLL files to the registry on 64-bit Windows:
- Open an elevated command prompt by following the steps above.
-
- cd c:\windows\syswow64\
- Next, type the following and press Enter:
- regsvr32 c:\windows\syswow64\"filename".dll
DLL files are dynamic libraries that are used by many programs on your PC. When you uninstall or update one of the programs from your PC, it may happen that DLL files previously installed in the operating system may be deleted by mistake. In addition to this situation, very often the system cannot detect the DLL due to viruses, unlicensed software, which certainly leave a negative mark on their stay on the computer.
Very often, DLL files disappear due to broken connections between the program and the operating system in cases where the user manual mode transfers a program from one folder to another. Only automatic and system tools for removing and installing programs on a PC can ensure the most comfortable use of your computer and operating system.
Dynamic-link library
DLL (English: Dynamic-link library) - dynamic library
DLL (English: Dynamic-link library) - operating system concept Microsoft Windows, a dynamic library that allows reuse by various software applications, operating room concept Microsoft systems Windows. K DLL also includes elements ActiveX controls and drivers.
Format DLL files follows the same conventions as the format executable files EXE, combining codes, tables and resources.
Purposes of introducing DLLs
Initially it was assumed that the introduction of DLLs would allow efficient memory organization and disk space, using only one instance of library modules for many applications. This was especially important for earlier versions Microsoft Windows with severe memory limitations.
Further, it was intended to improve the efficiency of development and use system tools due to modularity. Replacing DLL programs from one version to another should have allowed the system to be expanded independently without affecting applications. In addition, DLLs could be used by different types of applications - for example, Microsoft Office, Microsoft Visual Studio, etc.
Later, the idea of modularity grew into the concept of ActiveX controls.
Actually full benefits It was not possible to get any results from DLL injection due to a phenomenon called DLL hell (DLL nightmare). DLL hell occurs when multiple applications require it at the same time different versions DLL libraries due to their incomplete compatibility, which leads to serious conflicts. When the system grew to a certain size, the number of DLLs began to exceed many thousands, not all of them were fully reliable and compatible, and conflicts like DLL hell began to arise very often, sharply reducing the overall reliability of the system. Late Microsoft versions Windows began to allow parallel use different versions DLL, which negated the benefits of the original modularity principle.
