  4. If your operating system has a 64 Bit architecture, copy the "Gameutil.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 "Gameutil.dll" library into both directories.
    Pasting the Gameutil.dll library into the Windows/sysWOW64 directory
    Step 4:Pasting the Gameutil.dll library into the Windows/sysWOW64 directory
  5. 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.
    1. First, open the Start Menu and before clicking anywhere, type "cmd" but do not press Enter.
    2. When you see the "Command Line" option among the search results, hit the "CTRL" + "SHIFT" + "ENTER" keys on your keyboard.
    3. A window will pop up asking, "Do you want to run this process?". Confirm it by clicking to "Yes" button.

  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 Gameutil.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 Gameutil.dll
    Deleting the Gameutil.dll library's problematic registry in the Windows Registry Editor
    Step 6:Deleting the Gameutil.dll library's problematic registry in the Windows Registry Editor
  7. If you are using a Windows version that has 64 Bit architecture, after running the above command, you need to run the command below. With this command, we will clean the problematic Gameutil.dll registry for 64 Bit (The cleaning process only involves the registries in Regedit. In other words, the dynamic link library you pasted into the SysWoW64 will not be damaged).
    %windir%\SysWoW64\regsvr32.exe /u Gameutil.dll
    Uninstalling the Gameutil.dll library's problematic registry from Regedit (for 64 Bit)
    Step 7:Uninstalling the Gameutil.dll library's problematic registry from Regedit (for 64 Bit)
  8. You must create a new registry for the dynamic link library that you deleted from the registry editor. In order to do this, copy the command below and paste it into the Command Line and hit Enter.
    %windir%\System32\regsvr32.exe /i Gameutil.dll
    Creating a new registry for the Gameutil.dll library
    Step 8:Creating a new registry for the Gameutil.dll library
  9. 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 Gameutil.dll library we deleted.
    %windir%\SysWoW64\regsvr32.exe /i Gameutil.dll
    Creating a clean and good registry for the Gameutil.dll library (64 Bit için)
    Step 9:Creating a clean and good registry for the Gameutil.dll library (64 Bit için)
  10. You may see certain error messages when running the commands from the command line. These errors will not prevent the installation of the Gameutil.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.
