Is there any one specific procedure for re-installing
missing DLLs and registering them?
 
1.) If the dll has dependencies or is dependent on others, then it's
important to replace with the same version.
2.) If the dll exports the DLLRegisterServer, DllUnregisterServer functions
then it's best to unregister

regsvr32.exe /u "PathToDLL"
then after replacement
regsvr32.exe "PathToDLL"

You can run depends.exe against the DLL to check dependencies

You'll find depends.exe within
\SUPPORT\TOOLS\SUPPORT.CAB
on your Windows 2000 install CD-Rom

Dave,

Thanks for the Info. Do you know if NT4.0 works the same
way? I have a mixed network and get numerous errors on
both systems regarding missing or corrupt DLLs.

Again, thanks.
