Unable to access the DLL file

Hi Friends,

I am unable to access my DLL file "ProgramSub.dll". Ends up with below given error message. Can anyone tell me how to overcome this, please?

Could not load file or assembly 'ProgramSub, Version=1.1.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.

Thanks,

Ramani Nagarajan

 

DLL Missing

I actually posted the link for the "list of troubleshooting steps to resolve your boost_threads.dll problems" which is located half way down the page. I did not mean to promote any downloads.

Why don't I just go back and indicate that on my original post? That way there's access to the 'step-by-step' instructions, which are accessed via those green 'plus' signs next to the topics.

If the link still needs to be removed, then let me know

 

Accessing the DLL and Registry

I'm not sure what you think 'the DLL' is but whatever you have in mind is mistaken. There is no such thing as the DLL.

Actually there are thousands of .DLL files, each with a specific purpose. DLL stand for Dynamic Link Library, each .dll file is a library of executable code providing functions that can be called by other programs and code. There is nothing there for a human to read.

To list all the DLLs that Windows uses, open a command prompt and type the command: dir C:\windows\system32\*.dll

This produces a list of 3242 File(s) for my machine. Now, which one is the DLL you want to look at? For further understanding of what a DLL is (and what it is not) read the Microsoft link Berton gave you in post #2. For a less technical view, read: Lifewire - What Is a DLL File? (Dynamic Link Library)

The Registry is another matter, that is readable (and editable) using Regedit. However, it is rather opaque reading and the fact that any changes you make in Regedit are effective instantly (there's no 'Save' option that you can back out of, you are modifying the system as it runs) it is best not to look unless you know what you are doing.
