Entry point dllinstall was not found regsvr32: A step-by-step guide to resolve this issue



Regsvr32.exe was unable to find the required entry point in the module specified in the command line. This can occur if the entry points are not exported correctly from the module or if the module is not a .DLL or .OCX file.


From Winerror.h, 0x00000485 = 1157 (ERROR_DLL_NOT_FOUND). This means "One of the library files that are needed to run this application cannot be found." For example, typing regsvr32 missing.dll returns this error message if the Missing.dll file is not found.




entry point dllinstall was not found regsvr32




From Winerror.h, 0x00000002 = 2 (ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND). This means "The system cannot find the file specified." In other words, a dependent DLL was not found. For example, typing regsvr32 icwdial.dll with Tapi32.dll (a dependency) missing returns this error message..


Hence come to the issue I mentioned as the title. I tried to register the ExplorerFrame.dll using regsvr32 ExplorerFrame.dll from the command prompt, but any changes I made showed that "the module ExplorerFrame.dll" was loaded but the entry point DllRegisterServer was not found. Make sure that ExplorerFrame.dll is a valid DLL or OCX file and then try again". At this point I think the only option left for me was to refresh the window from reboot or format the entire thing again, but I wish I don't have to go through it again because then I need to reinstall all the heavy software I had and I just don't have the resources for that anymore. Please assist!

ExplorerFrame.dll was loaded but the entry-point DllRegisterServer was not found is a relatively critical error that can impair one's ability to operate Windows operating system as intended. Users reported that the error started showing up abruptly, and they are unable to perform regular computer operations, such as opening applications or accessing files. In some cases, the error shows up after Windows boots up.


Regsvr32 will give this error if you attempt to load a file that cannot be registered with Regsvr32. It says that in the message, the "no entry point" part means that the DLL is not designed to be registered. So this error is normal.
