    Resolved [RESOLVED] Error while unregistering a DLL

    Hello Friends,
    I am trying to unregister a DLL
    using following command :-
    regsvr32 /u "DLLName.dll"
    It gives me the error "could not load DLLName.dll"
    Why does this happen? Can anyone help please?
    Regards,
    Siddharth.

    Take up one idea. Make that one idea your life - think of it, dream of it, live on that idea. Let the brain, muscles, nerves, every part of your body, be full of that idea, and just leave every other idea alone.

    You need to give the FULL PATH to the DLL.

    -tg

    EDIT - HINT: If you open a file browser, drill down into the folder where the dll is, then in the Run menu, type "regsvr32 /u " (note the space after the U) ... then drag the dll into the Run menu after your /u and drop it.... it will put the full path and file name in there automatically (so youdon't have to type it all out).

    Re: Error while unregistering a DLL

    Yes, but I go to the command prompt and then into the path of
    the DLL file. Then, I unregister the DLL. The path is complete , but the error is still the same. What to do?

    Re: Error while unregistering a DLL

    Is that all there is in the error message? Was there anything else in the error message?

    Are you putting the name in quotes like you did in your sample? If so that is your problem or at least one of them...

    Re: Error while unregistering a DLL

    Was it possible that this DLL:
    (1) Can be registered/un-registered as not all can
    (2) Was registered in the 1st place
    (3) Was copied and registered in 1 directory, but later moved to another directory?

    Re: Error while unregistering a DLL

    Hi all,
    Thank you so much,
    Actually the problem was that there needed to be a Resources/1033 folder
    which contained some .rll files. I just put that folder and the DLL got unregistered successfully. Thank you so much for posting replies. Sorry I didnt mark the thread closed yesterday.
    Regards,
    Siddharth.
