Fix Windows Errors by Re-registering All Your DLL's by Britec

The instructions basically get you to dump all DLL files into notepad, then do a find and replace to regsvr32 them all. if you do it from c:\ like it suggests, you might get more than you need. including dll files from the recycle bin.

I am going to assume your windows installation is on C:\ and in C:\ windows

When a DLL is registered, the DllRegisterServer method entry point in your program is invoked. Similarly, DllUnregisterServer is invoked when a DLL is unregistered. As described in this MSDN article: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms682162%28VS.85%29.aspx

Instructs an in-process server to create its registry entries for all classes supported in this server module. If this function fails, the state of the registry for all its classes is indeterminate.

For COM DLLs, you will need to implement your own DllRegisterServer and DllUnregisterServer entry point methods which do the registering/unregistering as appropriate. Example code for DllRegisterServer can be found here. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd376682%28VS.85%29.aspx

The end result of registering a DLL is that all of the CLSIDs for the components in the DLL are registered under HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID. This allows CoCreateInstance to find the correct server when instantiating COM objects from another DLL or application.

DllUnregisterServer will do the reverse, and remove all of the CLSIDs from the registry that were put in there by DllRegisterServer. more can be found here http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa369359.aspx

Hi Britec,

Tks for the good info as usual.

1. Will rebooting the PC do the same job or is there a difference in Re-registering as you have shown.

2. Will Re-registering affect any applications which may be running and using some of the DLL files.

Pls advice.

Tks.....

@utubenagoya I have added What does registering a DLL do? to my description now so you can understand it better. hope this helps.

Another great video! Thank you Britec!

[Britec09]

@SirSilversilk Your welcome mate.

[Films4You]

Yes I enjoy these videos.

P.S. Have you tried Windows 8 Metro?

If so do you think Metro is just a new frontend for Windows 7 ?

[Britec09]

@Films4You Not tried Windows 8 Metro at any great length, so cannot give you a fair answer.
