Entry Point Dllregisterserver Was Not Found

[Julia Kozub]

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.

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:

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.

Thank you but i tried those like 2 hours ago :-P it drops an error "the module "ntdll.dll" was loaded but the entry-point DllRegisterServer was not found. make sure the 'ntdll.dll' is a valid dll or ocx file and then try again."

Copying something in it won't cause any harm, don't worry, but if you're uncomfortable with that we can try modifying the typelib registry, windows+R, type regedit

computer/hkey_classes_root/typelib, and give it higher permissions for your user account, namely full control, then try re-registering ntdll,

unfortunately for you if neither of those work your problem might be with either your windows install or your ram.

I know that there are "lots" of questions and answers floating around for this error message (and other U2*.dll files), but none of the proposed solutions seem to work for me. In addition a lot of these questions/posts go back many years so the folders they refer to are no longer relevant or exist. The days of copying u2*.dll files from c:\windows\crystal to c:\windows\windows32 or c:\windows\sysWOW64 seem to be gone.

I am running Crystal Reports 2020 (currently in Trial Version, because I want to solve this problem before I buy!) under Windows 10 Pro. When I try to edit a report, I get errors, all of which, I have concluded (right or wrong) link back to missing functions in the missing "u2lcapw.dll" file. To be clear, these reports run perfectly in the End User environment (Sage 2020) so there is no "error" with the report. CR just can't seem to find the missing function.

5) Tried to "register" the dll (RegSvr32 as Administrator), but received the following error message, "The module "u2lcapw.dll was loaded but the entry-point DllRegisterServer was not found"... From what I gathered in my research, this DLL is not a COM dll so there is "no need to register it".

I think that the problem you're running into is because Crystal 2020 is the first version of Crystal to have 64-bit architecture. All earlier versions are 32-bit. I suspect that the .dll is also 32-bit, which won't work with Crystal 2020. I would contact Sage to determine whether there is a 64-bit version of this .dll available. If there isn't, I would look for a trial of Crystal 2016 instead.

I'm glad it worked, Michael! Unfortunately, the only people who can encourage Sage to upgrade are going to be its customers. Hopefully the architecture change for Crystal will encourage them to do so.

The second link showed the problem but no solution was presented. I get it if the error is documented, but I really need a resolution. Any further clicking of links required a login that I don't believe that I have.

Thank you! This is helpful. Sage only "sells" CR 2016 and I suspect that this is the reason! To be totally transparent, I am not interested in paying Sage an annual fee (subscription) for the CR software. I would rather buy it from SAP directly and upgrade it as necessary. I would be very happy to try the 2016 Trial.

what do i need to redownload to get it working again. I know that it was something i uninstalled becuase i was clearing out room in my storage. So i probably uninstalled an important part of a component to its usability

Click 'Start' > Type cmd in the search field > Right-click the command prompt at the top of the list and select 'Run as Administrator'

Inside the command prompt, type sfc /scannow > Press 'Enter'

I'm just checking in to see if you need more help with this. Did the suggestion to download the C++ Redistributable that @Stephen.Blairprovided work for you?
