How to DLL register in Windows any version: several basic ways

Sometimes it happens that some programs in Windows-environments do not start when the application executable starts, and the system displays a message indicating that such dynamic component (library) of the DLL format is missing or not registered. Next, consider the question of how to register a DLL in a system in several ways, but only on the condition that it is actually available. It will also draw the user's attention to some possible errors that may appear when performing actions in any of the ways.

How can I register DLLs in Windows systems with the simplest method?

Most software products designed for installation and use in Windows, in addition to the program's executable itself, contain many additional components. The DLL is one of those modules that are loaded into the main memory when the EXE file is launched, where the code is assigned to them.

In this case, the structure of the program start sequence and the loading of the remaining components into the RAM is such that almost all of them start from the same directory. Thus, in the simplest version, the question of how to register a DLL in Windows 10 or systems of a lower rank is solved by placing the necessary files of this format in the directory with the main executable file of the program (EXE). But this is only for cases when the libraries themselves were not available, but then they were downloaded separately, for example, from the Internet.

How can I register a DLL in Windows XP and higher via the Run console?

Unfortunately, the above technique does not always work. Therefore, in Windows you need to use your own tools and tools. In particular, it all boils down to using the RegSvr software service, which is represented as a regsvr32.exe file located in one of the system catalogs. In systems with 32-bit architecture this component is located in the System32 folder, but in 64-bit versions of such files there can be two (the second component is located in the folder SysWOW64).

Thus, before solving the problem of how to register a DLL in a system, it is necessary to find out which bit depth the library is designed for. This will determine the further course of action.

So, for registration, you need to call the "Run" console (the easiest way to do this is through the combination of Win + R), in which you need to register the regsvr32.exe command, and after that through the space write the full path to the library file. In case you need to register with the bit counting, to execute the regsvr32.exe file, you will also need to register the full path, specifying in the location of the System32 folder or SysWOW64 folder.

Actions through the command line

A DLL can similarly be registered via the command line. It can be called from the "Run" menu through the reduction of cmd (mandatory with admin rights).

Here, as in the case of the "Run" console, a command starting with the file name (regsvr32.exe) is prescribed, followed by the full path to the library file or by specifying the full path at the beginning of the line for the logging tool.

Creating a registration via "Explorer"

An equally simple solution to the problem of how to register DLLs on a system is using Explorer or some other file manager.

Here you need to find the library file and right click on it, then select "Open with ..." from the context menu. Further in the list of programs for opening the format DLL will not be presented, therefore, using the button of the review, in the above-mentioned directories it is necessary to find the same file regsvr32.exe (depending on the bit depth of the main program).

Possible problems with registration

All would be well, but sometimes there can be errors. Most often you can see a message that the so-called entry point DLLRegisterServer is not found.

The reason for this may be that the library is already registered, but is damaged. Perhaps the DLLRegisterServer module is incompatible with the current version of the system or the library does not support it, etc. Still it is necessary to remember, that not all components of this type are intended for registration. If the file is downloaded from the Internet, it may very well be that the antivirus blocked it or completely deleted it during the download process.

Sometimes you do not need to use Windows to register the tool. So for D3D components that can be present in games, simply install an updated version of DirectX, and install Microsoft Visual Studio Redistributable for MSVC libraries. In extreme cases, if a pirated hacked copy of the software was used, on the same Internet, you should find the official version of the software and take the necessary actions again (but in this case such procedures may not be necessary). If the preference is given to an unofficial program, the download should be performed with the antivirus and firewall disabled, but only provided that the user is firmly convinced that the downloaded content is completely secure and does not carry any potential threats to the computer system.
