  6. If your system is 64 Bit, copy the "Legacy.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 "Legacy.dll" library.

    Step 4:Copying the Legacy.dll library to the Windows/sysWOW64 directory
  7. 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.

  8. 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 Legacy.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 Legacy.dll
    Deleting the Legacy.dll library's problematic registry in the Windows Registry Editor
    Step 6:Deleting the Legacy.dll library's problematic registry in the Windows Registry Editor
  9. 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 Legacy.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 Legacy.dll
    Uninstalling the broken registry of the Legacy.dll library from the Windows Registry Editor (for 64 Bit)
    Step 7:Uninstalling the broken registry of the Legacy.dll library from the Windows Registry Editor (for 64 Bit)
  10. 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 Legacy.dll
    Creating a new registry for the Legacy.dll library
    Step 8:Creating a new registry for the Legacy.dll library
  11. If you are using a 64 Bit operating system, after running the command above, you also need to run the command below. With this command, we will have added a new library in place of the damaged Legacy.dll library that we deleted.
    %windir%\SysWoW64\regsvr32.exe /i Legacy.dll

    Step 9:Reregistering the Legacy.dll library in the system (for 64 Bit)
  12. 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 Legacy.dll library from being installed. In other words, the installation will be completed, but it may give an error due to some incompatibility issues.
