Dllregisterserver Entry Point Was Not Found

[Allen Yerke]

Step2. In the elevated Command Prompt, type sfc /scannow command and hit Enter. After that, this tool will scan and repair the corrupted system files. This process may take you some time and make sure that it completes.

Step 3. Click on OK to confirm the operation. Then you can re-register the DLL file and see if the error is resolved. If not, you can re-enable the antivirus software.

Sometimes the module was loaded but the entry-point DLLRegisterserver was not found error can occur when the DLL file gets corrupted. Under this situation, you can try reinstalling the related program that includes the corrupted DLL file.

I'm trying to register a dll on a XP box and when I run regsvr32 interop.progname.dll I get the following error message: "interop.progname.dll was loaded, but the DllRegisterServer entry point was not found. This file can not be registered."

Regsvr32 will give this error if you attempt to load a file that cannot be registered with Regsvr32. It says that in the message, the "no entry point" part means that the DLL is not designed to be registered. So this error is normal.

Regsvr32 works with other DLLs, so it's not damaged.

I will provide some context about this problem, but it's a bottomless pit with no solutions.

All over the web you can find discussions that go on for hundreds of pages about reCAPTCHA.

I'm referring to "I'm not a robot" followed by those thumbnail images. Select cars, buses, fire

hydrants, etc.

Millions of people have trouble loading and using reCAPTCHA. I've probably tried 50 fixes.

If I refresh the page dozens of times, reCAPTCHA occasionally loads.

There is a Bypass reCAPTCHA script that works with GreaseMonkey. I tried the script. Doesn't

seem to do anything.

Registering pngfilt.dll is from a blog created by a very smart IT professional. He listed several

reCAPTCHA fixes. It's very possible pngfilt.dll cannot be registered.

This reCAPTCHA problem constantly reminds me of circuits I breadboarded many years ago, when

I was learning electronics. If a signal is weak you carefully add stages that increase signal strength

without creating distortion.

There should be an app that works between the Google servers and your browser. Something that

would focus all those bytes of reCAPTCHA data and beam it full strength into your browser. I know,

it's just wishful thinking.

You can also run a trace on Internet Explorer to see if you can find any errors when trying to process a page. I would create a .htm file with just a .png sourced in the body. Open Internet Explorer and set it to about:blank. Then open Procmon and set iexplore.exe to included processes. Put the path to the .htm into the address bar, start the procmon trace, then press enter on the address bar. After the page quickly loads, stop the trace and save the PML. You can then look for yourself, but if you need help looking at that output, you can zip the PML and attach it here.

Hello,

I have a HP Laptop Compaq Presario R3000 running XP sp2.

While trying to install software for my new HP 451color laserjet printer, I could not finish because my computer seems to have a problem with the gdiplus.dll file. After doing a regsvr32 in the "run" box I get the following window message: "gdiplus.dll was loaded, but the DllRegisterServer entry point was not found. This file can not be registered."

This problem MAY have happened in the past while installing some other software or printer, I don't remember, but I MAY have gotten frustrated with it and just ignored it and went on without being able to use whatever I was trying to add. (I get so tired things not working the way they are supposed to!!!)

I updated to SP3 which did not help. I'm considering a system recovery. I don't want to lose all my programs, drivers, etc. I did a search and read that a:

"Startup Repair replaces only damaged or missing Windows startup files. In a Windows XP repair install, all Windows files are replaced no matter if they need to be or not. Note: If you're using a restore disc from your computer manufacturer instead of an original Windows Setup disc or download, a Startup Repair or repair install as described in the linked guides above may not be possible."

I don't want to click on the wrong thing and screw this up!! Can someone tell me if such a repair-overwrite of the windows system files is an option with the microsoft windows xp home sp1 operating system disk?

Is there a better way to fix this?

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks, Jeff

While this article does not pertain to the issue you are having it does however have a patch for replacing a bad gdiplus.dll file. Give the patch a whirl (it should replace and register properly) and let me know the results:

I am working trying to write a VB application using the EPANET2.DLL. Theproblem that I am running into is that the DLL will not register correctlywith the operating system and therefore can not be used by VB. I have beenusing REGSVR32 to register the DLL but the error message that I continue toget is:

epanet2.dll was loaded, but the DllRegisterServer entry point was not found.DllRegisterServer may not be exported, or a corrupt version of epanet2.dllmay be in memory. Consider using PVIEW to detect and remove it.

I have checked and the DLL is not loaded in memory. This leads me tobelieve that the DLL may be corrupt. Does anyone have any thoughts whatcould be causing this error and how I might get around it. I have triedthis on both a Win2000 and NT4 machine with similar results.

You don't need to register the file Epanet2.dll. If you declare the toolkit functions in the normal way (or use epanet2.bas supplied by Lew) VB will then search for the epanet2.dll file firstly in the host VB application directory, and then if it cannot find it there it searches in the windows system and windows directories.

You only need to register DLL files that are OLE Servers (that conform to the ActiveX spec). The reason for this is that you don't declare functions from these types of DLLs, but instead you instantiate objects from the classes they provide and use their properties and methods. To reference an OLE Server DLL VB needs to have a project reference to the file set (Project --> References if I recall it correctly), and to do this the DLL file needs to be registered (using regsvr32 is one way to register the file). This isn't the case for epanet2.dll.

Regsvr32 "C:\Program Files\Rational\clearquest\CQMSPInt.dll"

"C:\Program Files\Rational\clearquest\CQMSPInt.dll was loaded, but the DlRegisterServer entry point was not found. This file can not be registered."

FileAssassin is missing the shell extentions in the Windows Explorer context menu. This only happens on my x64 system. Otherwise FileAssassin is fully functional on the computer. Is it a bug or perhaps a compatibility issue? Is there a fix or a workaround to restore them?

Yes, FileASSASSIN is very old and pre-dates x64 so it does not support shell menu integration on x64 Windows versions. You might be able to get it to work by adding the reg keys for the shell menu into the native x64 shell keys, but I'm not certain and I do not recommend attempting it unless you know what you're doing.

That's what I thought Sam. I wasn't 100% sure. I been looking for a temp fix for this so I'll try adding the reg keys for the shell menu into the native x64 shell keys. Also noticed that if you try to register or unregister FileASSASSIN.dll using REGSVR32 to call DllRegisterServer or DllInstall it ends in an error, but FileASSASSINExt.dll will register just fine as long as you call DllRegisterServer ( It can't find the entry-point if you call DllInstall ) Could that prevent me from just adding the reg keys for the shell menu into the registry to get it to work?
