| | Fixing Dll Errors Hi - Does anyone know how to fix dll errors? I've downloaded the dll file and placed it in the directory with the software (which for this dll is where it's supposed to be) but I'm getting a procedure entry point error. The dll is mss32.dll. Any help would be *greatly* appreciated. Thanks. |

| | Re: Fixing Dll Errors Oh, ok. Thank you. How do I tell what version of the dll I need? The specific error message is "The procedure entry point _AIL_start_sammple_at@xxxxxx could not be located in the dynamic link library mss32.dll" Any ideas? Thank you. "Mark L.

| | Re: Fixing Dll Errors Hi - Thank you for your reply and your time. What kind of info would I need to know to figure out what I need to know to know which version of the dll I need. Is there a place to download old dll files (specifically mss32.dll) so I can experiment with different ones to try to find the one I need? This is something that I really want to get running.

| | Re: Fixing Dll Errors Hi - Thanks once again for your time and your help. I downloaded Process Explorer for Windows and figured out how to see which dll's something is using. However, I don't know how to tell which dll it is needing. I can find the item that I'm running and below I see a list of dll's but what it shows is the dll that is currently in use. Where would I find out which one it's calling for? Thank you. "Mark L.

| | Re: Fixing Dll Errors All you know so far is the version number of the failing DLL. Whatever it needs will be higher than that, since almost all new dll's are backwardly compatible on entry points. You rightclick a file, then properties to see the Version info. It's possible you might even own more than one right now, and an older one is being found at a closer path than the needed, newer dll. Perhaps a Service pack took out one you need, and it resides in the SP 'uninstall' folder. -- Was this helpful? Then click the Ratings button.
