LoadLibrary (regsvr32 "%ProgramFiles%\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\VGX\vgx.dll") failed - ...

[Cheryl T]

The specified module could not be found.

Hi All,

First of all, my apologies if this has been addressed in the newsgroups
already. I've been away for awhile and had 6000 posts, so only skimmed
through them before deciding to post.

Win XP Pro, IE 6 on a home network (this post applies to the main desktop
computer only).

I applied the manual registry fix for the VML hole in Internet Explorer
which I found at http://www.askwoody. Namely:

regsvr32 -u "%ProgramFiles%\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\VGX\vgx.dll"

I now need to undo it so I can deploy, from Shavlik HFNetChkPro Plus, the
new VML patch MS06-055. This deployment is to the main desktop computer
only, not to the entire network.

My attempts to re register VML fail and I receive the above RegSvr32 error.
I think it's due to the fact that my XP Pro is an OEM version - I have no
CDs. I think there is a disk library on board somewhere though, because I
have done a couple of "repair Word (2003)" maneuvers in the past.

Can someone tell me what my next step is to remedy this problem? I'm
somewhat familiar with the command line and registry edits, if that's what
it takes to get me where I'd like to be.

As always, guys, thanks so much for taking time to help so many. Your
efforts do not go unnoticed!

Hi Cheryl,

The subject line of your post is a bit confusing as it includes the
LoadLibrary api which is something a computer programer would use inside a
program and not from the run prompt.

Ok, let me get this straight. You chose the Start>Run menu option and typed
in the following command in the run dialog

regsvr32 -u "%ProgramFiles%\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\VGX\vgx.dll"

and now you want to undo that command?

Thats simple. the "-u" parameter after regsvr part is a command switch
telling the program regsvr32 to un-install the vgx.dll file from the
registry. To undo that command just remove the -u parameter

So, select Start>Run and copy and paste the following in the run dialog

regsvr32 "%ProgramFiles%\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\VGX\vgx.dll"

or scroll down the run history list in the run dialog and find the uninstall
entry and remove the -u and then hit enter.

Regards.

Hi Rob,

Thanks for your reply.

Sorry if my post is confusing. I tried to explain the situation as simply as
possible. I'm sure I'm mixing up the terminology. I'll try again.

I have already attempted, several times, the re registration of vgx.dll.

I input: regsvr32 "%ProgramFiles%\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\VGX\vgx.dll"
(withOUT the -u parameter) from Start> Run. Previously, I had successfully
unregistered the dll the same way - from Start> Run. This was according to
the information found here: http://www.askwoody.com .

My attempts to re register the dll fail. A message window pops up that
reads:

LoadLibrary (regsvr32 "%ProgramFiles%\Common Files\Microsoft
Shared\VGX\vgx.dll") failed - The specified module could not be found.

I don't understand why I was successful with unregistration using Start>
Run, but now failing re registration from Start> Run. I don't understand why
"the module" can't be found.

Could I simply just change this setting directly from within Window's
registry?

Thanks, again, for your help.

Nevermind. From within the registry, I removed the -u parameter manually.

"DllRegisterServer in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft
Shared\VGX\vgx.dll succeeded."

Thanks anyway.
