Itdoesn't matter what I'm trying to build. Even if I just make a single file with a function that adds two numbers. It crashes. Doesn't seem to have anything to do with the source code or the options passed to gcc at all. I think this is a problem with my MinGW setup and not with my project.

Make sure you have C:\MinGW\bin in your path before any other directory that contains libiconv-2.dll. Apparently the as.exe in some MinGW distributions are dependent on that DLL, and having an older version of it in the path somewhere (for example GnuWin32 tools) will cause as.exe to pick up the older version that doesn't have the entry point it's looking for.

Note - you should be able to replace the older libiconv-2.dll with the newer one in \MinGW\bin - the naming of the DLL should mean that it's backward compatible with the older one (ie., older software that isn't dependent ont he newer exports should continue to work). However, I haven't tested that so be sure to backup if you do decide to try replacing the conflicting DLL with the one from your MinGW installation.

I have a Fortran library that is beibg called from a C++ main program. It generally works fine except that when certain subroutines are included in the Fortran library, the following error message shows up while executing the C++ program:

Note that the subroutine that was added to the Fortran library is not being called or referenced by the C++ program. The mere presence of that subroutine in the library causes the above error to occur.

You have in PATH an older Intel Fortran run-time library DLL. That entry point was added in version 17. Make sure you don't have old copies of libifcoremdd.dll in your path or that you're running from an environment for an older compiler version.

Thanks for your timely help. I did a search on my computer and there are 6 files named libifcoremdd.dll at the following locations. How do I modify/check the path? I upgrade my version of the Intel Fortran Compiler every year and unfortunately the installation/update is not completely clean.

The SysWOW64 folder has other libifXXX files (libifcoremd,dll, libifcorert.dll, libifcorertd,dll, libifportmd.dll) and libioXXX + libmmdXXX files. All have the same timestamp. Are these legitimate as well?

I am facing similar errors when I try to run the released version of my code in Fortran in other computers. Both, the debug and released version are able to run on my computer without any error. However, when I try to share the executable as released version, the people are getting errors as the image below: The procedure entry point__svml_fmodf4 could not be located in the dynamic link library svml_dispmd.dll. Also, other people get an error related to some libraries that are missing (libifcoremd.dll, libifportmd.dll, libmmd.dll, svml_dispmd.dll) how could I solve this error? is it a configuration aspect?

You have installed the redistributables package that targets Itanium (IA64). It is very unlikely that you have a system with an Itanium processor. What you want instead is the package for Intel64 (called 'em64t' earlier and 'intel64' now) or IA32 if you have a 32-bit OS.

Summary: Entry Point Not Found error occurs when a DLL for a particular app or software goes missing or corrupted. You can fix it by restoring DLL files from the antivirus programs' quarantined list, running DISM and SFC scans, or following the other methods mentioned in this blog.

Users encounter this error while opening specific applications or programs, like gaming software, photo-video editing apps, Google Chrome, etc. It may also pop up every 10-15 minutes if related to some service/program running in the background.

If there are issues with Windows images and system files, your system and programs installed may not function correctly and throw errors. You can use Windows built-in tools DISM and System File Checker (SFC) to fix such issues. Where DISM will repair the corrupted or damaged Windows images, SFC will replace the damaged or corrupted system files with their correct versions. Follow the given steps:

Junk files are usually temporary files created on your system to perform specific tasks. However, over time, they become of no use. If not removed, they accumulate on your hard drive, consuming a lot of storage space and eventually causing slow-running PC or other performance-related issues. Sometimes, you may have problems running your application/software. So, removing Junk data from your system is better, and try rerunning the software/app. Follow the below steps:

If, after all these methods, you still face the Entry Point Not Found error, you can remove or uninstall the problematic program, application, or software and reinstall it afresh, checking its compatibility with your system. However, uninstalling the application or software will remove all its related data.

DLL stands for Dynamic Link Library. It is also known as a shared library in the UNIX-based OSes. DLL is one of the most useful Windows components you can use to share codes and resources or even shrink the size of your application. The DLL makes it simpler to service and extend the applications..

A DLL specifies an entry-point function (optionally). If available, the system calls the entry-point function whenever the thread or process loads or unloads the DLL files. The entry path can perform simple initialization and cleanup tasks.

I have recently received an error message that starts out with "The Procedure entry point XXX Could not be located in the dynamic Link Library" and then I get an Error 7 (Windows error 127). iTunes will not start. I have uninstalled all Apple programs and then re-installed them. Still no luck. I am running Windows 8.1. I have tried systen restore too but with no luck.

There are several different scenarios that could lead up to the error, but typically it arises because an older version of the .dll has been copied into the wrong folder to workaround a different problem, and now after updating iTunes the outdated .dll that gets called cannot handle the request made of it.

The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.

It doesn't say what kind of error this is. I've tried installing individually the Apple Application Support and Apple Mobile Device Support items individually, as was suggested elsewhere for a similar error, but with no luck. iTunes still won't open.

Such errors may be fixed by deleting the named file and then repairing the component it belongs to, in this case iTunes itself. If that doesn't work run through the steps in the second box of the user tip.

Sib Ultimate won't open, error cannot find entrypoint of NetShareEnum procedure

Posted by Redfrog - 09 Jan 02:14PM Hide picture Hello all,

I cannot open Sibelius Ultimate.

Anybody familiar with this sudden error?

cannot find entrypoint of NetShareEnum procedure in dll file C:\Program Files\Avid\Sibelius\Qt5Core.dll

I tried several fixes including de-activation and de-install, and windows repair with cmd sfc /scannow

So far nothing is working.

Posted by Robin Walker - 09 Jan 04:15PM Hide picture Do you have any other instances of a file called "Qt5Core.dll" on disk? If so, at what location are the other instances?

Posted by Redfrog - 10 Jan 01:49PM Hide picture Yep, one in the Avid Application Manager; C:\Program Files\Avid\Application Manager

Another one in the Avid Link;C:\Program Files\Avid\Avid Link

and the rest, see png

One of the fixes I have tried, is to copy the link from the Avid App. manager but then the error changed in the same error in the Qt5Gui.dll

The Avid\link map seems to have the same Qt5 library as the Avid\Sibelius map, maybe I should copy? Attachment Clipboard02.png (84K) Back to top Allthreads Re: Sib Ultimate won't open, error cannot find entrypoint of NetShareEnum procedure

Posted by Robin Walker - 10 Jan 02:36PM Hide picture You must NOT copy the Qt5 files around. Although they have the same names, the Sibelius versions are customised specifically to Sibelius, and no other version will work in Sibelius. Please restore the correct version.

Your original problem is caused by the wrong Qt5Core.dll file being linked into Sibelius at run-time. What is not yet obvious is why that is happening.

Please check to see whether any Qt5Core.dll file is in any folder which is included in the Windows PATH environment variable.

Please show us a screen-shot of the list behind the "Folders" button of "Audio Engine Options".

Please show us a screen-shot of the contents of the folder:

Posted by Robin Walker - 10 Jan 05:11PM Hide picture Before trying any further diagnostics, I suggest that you do the following:

- shut down and restart Windows;

- uninstall Sibelius;

- reinstall Sibelius.

Posted by Robin Walker - 12 Jan 08:37PM Hide picture Please open a Windows command-line prompt window, and type precisely (you can copy-and-paste for accuracy):

reg query HKCU\SOFTWARE\Avid\Sibelius\Preferences\Configuration\PluginEngineOptions\PluginPath64

all on one line, omitting any line-turns introduced by this forum display, and then press Enter. Then take a screen-shot showing both your typed input and the resulting output.

Posted by Robin Walker - 14 Jan 04:46PM Hide picture Thank you. I cannot see any clue to what is causing the problem.

I suggest that you open an online case with Avid Support, by signing in to your "My Avid" account at and then clicking the link "Access the Support Center (Portal)".

If/when they solve the problem, I shall be very interested to learn what the solution was.

Posted by Redfrog - 16 Jan 04:44PM Hide picture Hello Robin Walker,

sofar no news, Avid is sending me back to Microsoft, it seems to be a Windows problem, I let you know what they tell me.

Posted by sathorvido - 05 Feb 08:55AM Hide picture Hi

Ive been dealing with exactly the same issue. Contacted Avid who sent me to Microsoft, who sent me an update of Windows wich didn't fix a thing.

Then I decided to try one more reinstall, but this time I tried installing to a different location, then the default, and lord behold it works.

Posted by Em Kosh - 19 Aug 03:32PM Hide picture Hi,

I have the same issue recently. Just updated my Sibelius Ultimate. And suddenly it cannot open and have error message of "The procedure entry point NetShareEnum could not be located in the dynamic link library C:\Program Files\Avid\Sibelius\Qt5Core.dll

Please help. Back to top Allthreads Re: Sib Ultimate won't open, error cannot find entrypoint of NetShareEnum procedure

Posted by Robin Walker - 19 Aug 04:30PM Hide picture > "The procedure entry point NetShareEnum could not be located in the dynamic link library C:\Program Files\Avid\Sibelius\Qt5Core.dll"

No-one has ever been able to figure out this problem.

I suggest that you:

- uninstall Sibelius using the Windows application uninstall feature;

- disable or uninstall any anti-virus/anti-malware utilities in the system;

- re-install Sibelius;

- try launching Sibelius.

Please report back.

Posted by Ian EP - 06 Mar 03:49PM Hide picture It is insane to me that this issue is still occurring. Anyone from Avid: please fix. It is incredibly frustrating to lose an entire morning's worth of work trying to get the program to work every time it requires an update.

This is not an Avid problem.

This error is caused by that PC having previously had a pirated cracked copy of Sibelius, and the error arises from the continued presence of the crack file after a legitimate copy of Sibelius has been installed.
