Hello M_wassem_alosh,

To help you, I would need some more information regarding your error.

Which file is this regarding?
What is the exact and complete error message you get regarding this file?
When do you get this error?
Which program is requesting this file? Look for "Program".EXE in error message.

What have you tried so far for solving this error?

Is the program you are using compatible with Windows 10?

Best regards

we have a design program with database for our job like AutoCAD
and the programmer create some codes in excel 2003, (when we had win XP and office 2003) to get some detail for a design we need it to excel file.

What is the exact and complete error message you get regarding this file?
When do you get this error?

when i do the directions from our friend ( the programmer)... i faced error massage when i wrote ( regsvr32 "E:\orders\MKTools.dll" ) in RUN

it's say: The module "E:\orders\MKTools.dll" was loaded but the call to DllRegisterServer failed with error code 0x80004005

Which program is requesting this file? Look for "Program".EXE in error message.

What have you tried so far for solving this error?

but i can't know or do that.

Is the program you are using compatible with Windows 10?

Hello M_wassem_alosh,

So the only issue you have regarding MKTools.dll is registering it?

Not many dll files needs to be registered, and the majority are not even built with the "DllRegisterServer" function.

Do you know if this dll file needs to be registered to function?
Do you know if this dll file even has the "DllRegisterServer" function?

How to properly register a dll file;
You need to use an administrative command prompt.
You need to use the correct "regsvr32" program. There are two, a 32bit, and a 64bit.
You need to specify file and location properly.

For 32bit DLL-files on a 32bit Windows, and for 64bit DLL-files on a 64bit Windows:

Open an elevated command prompt.
To do this, click Start, click All Programs, click Accessories, right-click "Command Prompt", and then click Run as administrator.
In Windows 8/10, go to the Start screen. Start typing cmd and Windows will find "Command Prompt". Right click "Command Prompt" and choose "Run as administrator".
If you are prompted for an administrator password or for a confirmation, type the password, or click Allow.
Type

Code: Select all

regsvr32 E:\orders\MKTools.dll
and press Enter. (Assuming the dll is located at E:\orders\)

Registering 32bit DLL-files on a 64bit Windows:

Open an elevated command prompt, as instructed above.
In the command prompt, start by typing following and press enter:

Code: Select all

cd c:\windows\syswow64\
then type the following and press enter:

Code: Select all

regsvr32 E:\orders\MKTools.dll
Finally, reboot your PC one last time to refresh the memory. That should do it!

If you still get the same message, this file is not built to be registered using regsvr32.

If you are having other issues with this file, let me know the details.
