Hi - Does anyone know how to fix dll errors? I've downloaded the dll file
and placed it in the directory with the software (which for this dll is where
it's supposed to be) but I'm getting a procedure entry point error. The dll
is mss32.dll. Any help would be *greatly* appreciated. Thanks.
 
Hi - Thank you for your reply and your time. What kind of info would I need
to know to figure out what I need to know to know which version of the dll I
need. Is there a place to download old dll files (specifically mss32.dll) so
I can experiment with different ones to try to find the one I need? This is
something that I really want to get running. Thanks for the help.
 
Hi - Thanks once again for your time and your help. I downloaded Process
Explorer for Windows and figured out how to see which dll's something is
using. However, I don't know how to tell which dll it is needing. I can
find the item that I'm running and below I see a list of dll's but what it
shows is the dll that is currently in use. Where would I find out which one
it's calling for? Thank you.
 
All you know so far is the version number of the failing DLL. Whatever it
needs will be higher than that, since almost all new dll's are backwardly
compatible on entry points. You rightclick a file, then properties to see
the Version info. It's possible you might even own more than one right now,
and an older one is being found at a closer path than the needed, newer dll.
Perhaps a Service pack took out one you need, and it resides in the SP
'uninstall' folder.
