  4. If you are using a 64 Bit operating system, copy the "Depends.dll" library and paste it into the "C:\Windows\sysWOW64" as well.
    NOTE! On Windows operating systems with 64 Bit architecture, the dynamic link library must be in both the "sysWOW64" directory as well as the "System32" directory. In other words, you must copy the "Depends.dll" library into both directories.
    Pasting the Depends.dll library into the Windows/sysWOW64 directory
    Step 4:Pasting the Depends.dll library into the Windows/sysWOW64 directory
  5. 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.

  6. 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 Depends.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 Depends.dll
    Deleting the Depends.dll library's problematic registry in the Windows Registry Editor
    Step 6:Deleting the Depends.dll library's problematic registry in the Windows Registry Editor
  7. If you have a 64 Bit operating system, after running the command above, you must run the command below. This command will clean the Depends.dll library's damaged registry in 64 Bit as well (The cleaning process will be in the registries in the Registry Editor< only. In other words, the dll file you paste into the SysWoW64 folder will stay as it).
    %windir%\SysWoW64\regsvr32.exe /u Depends.dll
    Uninstalling the Depends.dll library's broken registry from the Registry Editor (for 64 Bit)
    Step 7:Uninstalling the Depends.dll library's broken registry from the Registry Editor (for 64 Bit)
  8. 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 Depends.dll

    Creating a clean registry for the Depends.dll library (for 64 Bit)
    Step 9:Creating a clean registry for the Depends.dll library (for 64 Bit)
  10. If you did all the processes correctly, the missing dll file will have been installed. You may have made some mistakes when running the Command Line processes. Generally, these errors will not prevent the Depends.dll library from being installed. In other words, the installation will be completed, but it may give an error due to some incompatibility issues.
