    Step 2:Copying the Advapi32.dll library into the Windows/System32 directory
  3. If your operating system has a 64 Bit architecture, copy the "Advapi32.dll" library and paste it also into the "C:\Windows\sysWOW64" directory.
    NOTE! On 64 Bit systems, the dynamic link library must be in both the "sysWOW64" directory as well as the "System32" directory. In other words, you must copy the "Advapi32.dll" library into both directories.
    Pasting the Advapi32.dll library into the Windows/sysWOW64 directory
    Step 3:Pasting the Advapi32.dll library into the Windows/sysWOW64 directory
  4. In order to run the Command Line as an administrator, complete the following steps.
    NOTE! In this explanation, we ran the Command Line on Windows 10. If you are using one of the Windows 8.1, Windows 8, Windows 7, Windows Vista or Windows XP operating systems, you can use the same methods to run the Command Line as an administrator. Even though the pictures are taken from Windows 10, the processes are similar.

The file we pasted into the System32 directory will not be damaged).
    %windir%\System32\regsvr32.exe /u Advapi32.dll
    Deleting the damaged registry of the Advapi32.dll
    Step 5:Deleting the damaged registry of the Advapi32.dll
  6. If you are using a 64 Bit operating system, after doing the commands above, you also need to run the command below. With this command, we will also delete the Advapi32.dll library's damaged registry for 64 Bit (The deleting process will be only for the registries in Regedit. In other words, the dll file you pasted into the SysWoW64 folder will not be damaged at all).
    %windir%\SysWoW64\regsvr32.exe /u Advapi32.dll
    Uninstalling the damaged Advapi32.dll library's registry from the system (for 64 Bit)
    Step 6:Uninstalling the damaged Advapi32.dll library's registry from the system (for 64 Bit)

After restarting your computer, to see if the installation was successful or not, try running the program that was giving the dll error again. If you continue to get the errors when running the program after the installation, you can try the 2nd Method as an alternative.
