  3. Click the "Extract To" symbol marked in the picture. To extract the dynamic link library, it will want you to choose the desired location. Choose the "Desktop" location and click "OK" to extract the library to the desktop. In order to do this, you need to use the Winrar program. If you do not have this program, you can find and download it through a quick search on the Internet.

    Step 3:Extracting the Commdlg.dll library to the desktop
  4. Copy the "Commdlg.dll" library you extracted and paste it into the "C:\Windows\System32" directory.
    Copying the Commdlg.dll library into the Windows/System32 directory
    Step 4:Copying the Commdlg.dll library into the Windows/System32 directory
  5. If your system is 64 Bit, copy the "Commdlg.dll" library and paste it into "C:\Windows\sysWOW64" directory.
    NOTE! On 64 Bit systems, you must copy the dynamic link library to both the "sysWOW64" and "System32" directories. In other words, both directories need the "Commdlg.dll" library.
    Copying the Commdlg.dll library to the Windows/sysWOW64 directory
    Step 5:Copying the Commdlg.dll library to the Windows/sysWOW64 directory
  6. In order to complete this step, you must run the Command Prompt as administrator. In order to do this, all you have to do is follow the steps below.
    NOTE! We ran the Command Prompt using Windows 10. If you are using Windows 8.1, Windows 8, Windows 7, Windows Vista or Windows XP, you can use the same method to run the Command Prompt as administrator.
    1. Open the Start Menu and before clicking anywhere, type "cmd" on your keyboard. This process will enable you to run a search through the Start Menu. We also typed in "cmd" to bring up the Command Prompt.
    2. Right-click the "Command Prompt" search result that comes up and click the Run as administrator" option.
    Running the Command Prompt as administrator
    Step 6:Running the Command Prompt as administrator
  7. Let's copy the command below and paste it in the Command Line that comes up, then let's press Enter. This command deletes the Commdlg.dll library's problematic registry in the Windows Registry Editor (The library that we copied to the System32 directory does not perform any action with the library, it just deletes the registry in the Windows Registry Editor. The library that we pasted into the System32 directory will not be damaged).
    %windir%\System32\regsvr32.exe /u Commdlg.dll
    Deleting the Commdlg.dll library's problematic registry in the Windows Registry Editor
    Step 7:Deleting the Commdlg.dll library's problematic registry in the Windows Registry Editor
  8. If the Windows you use has 64 Bit architecture, after running the command above, you must run the command below. This command will clean the broken registry of the Commdlg.dll library from the 64 Bit architecture (The Cleaning process is only with registries in the Windows Registry Editor. In other words, the dynamic link library that we pasted into the SysWoW64 directory will stay as it is).
    %windir%\SysWoW64\regsvr32.exe /u Commdlg.dll
    Uninstalling the broken registry of the Commdlg.dll library from the Windows Registry Editor (for 64 Bit)
    Step 8:Uninstalling the broken registry of the Commdlg.dll library from the Windows Registry Editor (for 64 Bit)
  9. We need to make a new registry for the dynamic link library in place of the one we deleted from the Windows Registry Editor. In order to do this process, copy the command below and after pasting it in the Command Line, press Enter.
    %windir%\System32\regsvr32.exe /i Commdlg.dll
    Creating a new registry for the Commdlg.dll library in the Windows Registry Editor
    Step 9:Creating a new registry for the Commdlg.dll library in the Windows Registry Editor
  10. Windows 64 Bit users must run the command below after running the previous command. With this command, we will create a clean and good registry for the Commdlg.dll library we deleted.
    %windir%\SysWoW64\regsvr32.exe /i Commdlg.dll
    Creating a clean and good registry for the Commdlg.dll library (64 Bit için)
    Step 10:Creating a clean and good registry for the Commdlg.dll library (64 Bit için)
  11. You may see certain error messages when running the commands from the command line. These errors will not prevent the installation of the Commdlg.dll library. In other words, the installation will finish, but it may give some errors because of certain incompatibilities. 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.
