Can't install DLL in Vista 64 bit.

[Guest LindaSusan]

I have Vista Ultimate 64 bit on a new HP notebook. I make HTML stationery

and need to install the dxtmeta2.dll The dll is 32 bit and won't install.

I was told to put it in the C:\Windows\syswow64 folder and turn off the

User Account Control.

regsvr32 dxtmeta2.dll doesn't work. It says the module dxtmeta2.dll failed

to load. I also tried a small batch file that was made to install the dll

in Vista. That didn't work either.

Is there anyway to work around this and get the dll to

install? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

 

Thank you,

Linda

Re: Can't install DLL in Vista 64 bit.

 

Make sure you are using the correct version of regsvr32. You need to use the

one in the SysWOW64 folder by explicitly calling it with the full path. (The

problem is that when you open a CMD window, you're running a 64-bit

application and it sees %windir%\system32 earlier on the path than anything

in SysWOW64. )

 

You may also need to include the full path to the DLL.

Re: Can't install DLL in Vista 64 bit.

 

Thank you for the response Charlie. Unfortunately I don't quite understand

what you're saying. I tried to register the dll by typing in

regsvr32 C:\Windows\SysWOW64\DXTMETA2.DLL

A message came up stating the registration was successful.

BUT I still get an error message and the stationery will not work in Windows

Mail.

This is what it says:

 

An error has occurred in the script on this page

 

Line: 275

Char: 1

Error: Invalid procedure call or argument

URL: mhtml:{6898E32E-6677-43DE-9E98-288CD75E945B}

mid://00000014/

 

Can you please send me or direct me to some step by step instructions on

registering the dll?

Sorry, but when it comes to the technical stuff I'm not very smart.

 

Thank you, Linda

Re: Can't install DLL in Vista 64 bit.

 

c:\Windows\SysWOW64\regsvr32 C:\Windows\SysWOW64\DXTMETA2.DLL

 

Just calling regsvr32 gets you the 64 bit version. If that doesn't work,

you'll have to talk to the vendor of the product.

Re: Can't install DLL in Vista 64 bit.

 

Linda,

 

have you considered if you need this at all? I made a superficial search and

found what seems to be indicating it was made for Win95 and Win98 to

overcome Letterman Software incompatibilities with DirectX8.0 - the site

specifically states not to install the *.DLL onto WinME - I wonder if that

is not ment to include all later versions of Windows OS's?

Re: Can't install DLL in Vista 64 bit.

 

Tony and Charlie,

Thank you for the replies. I appreciate your help.

The dll is needed to run the MetaCreation filters in stationery scripting.

Without it, the scripts won't run. I used it in Windows XP and it worked

good. It's just not compatible with Vista. There are only a few scripts

that use the filters and many many more that do not. I'm just going to skip

the scripts using MetaCreation filters. It will save me a lot of

aggravation. If later a compatibility fix is found I'm sure I will hear

about it from the scripting classes or on the internet.

 

Thanks again, Linda
