Missing Mscoree.dll
 

Ive been having problems recently with freezing and "insufficient memory" problems with Win98SE and after running Norton Disc Doctor, a message telling me that mscoree.dll is missing. Not being at all computer literate, can anybody tell me whether there is any connection with the problems I've had and how I can re-install mscoree.dll ?

Cheers S.

It's the Microsoft .NET Runtime Execution Engine (ie makes a lot of modern applications work.)


Here is one place you can download it from, but there are many.

You will need to unzip it, put it in C:\Windows\System32 (that's a guess, but it doesn't really matter) and then do Start, Run:

RegSvr32 c:\windows\system32\mscoree.dll

after which you should get a message "MSCoreE.DLL successfully registered"

I don't have ME, nor would I allow it in the building, even if it wiped its feet, so I can't check the above, but it should be OK.

Many thanks for the advice, unfortunately, the computer says its unable to install mscoree.dll because tsad.dll is missing. I guess something bad has happened because I can't think how these files could have been deleted by me deliberately. Would installing windows over the top of the existing fix things? I've already tried a repair without any change in the status of mscoree.dll and tsad.dll
Cheers.

Its always worth a Google before you bring these questions. Here's part of what a seach on "tsad.dll" turned up:

The file TSAD.dll is used by a company called Time Sink, basically ad spyware.

from this page of results.

And as for mscoree.dll, you probably don't need it. Check out this and try putting it in the System folder not System32.

Go figure.

fobotscoSensible did start by saying: Googling for the answer to the kind of questions he has raised would (by his own admission) be beyond his ken.

Correct me if I am wrong...I am the new boy round these parts....but surely the purpose of this forum is to try and help the comparitively illiterate?

'Morning Mr C, hope your day got better. :) You said:

er, yes, in manner of speaking. And I've been at it for several years. But there are limits. Go figure.

'swat I was attempting for Sensible. I either give the answer or, when it's simple, help the questioner learn how to find the answer for themselves

Have a nice day :cool:

It's been a pretty good day all day, ta! I remembered to take all my pills and the twitch is under control;).

If, by your question, you were implying that I was being crotchety, then I apologise, but it certainly wasn't intentional. That's the trouble with eMails.

Well I'm glad because my day, having started well, has been going downhill ever since my Win2K development machine broke royally.

If fact I'm doing what is for me a real last resort - a clean re-install! I recently said, on another thread, that I didn't back up files before installing a Service Pack. Well, this hat tastes awful. Mind you, the beast was in a bad way to start with and it is after all a development machine that I had been using to work out WiFi and Bluetooth procedures. The last straw was adding Infra-red. Communication between computers and peripheral devices in all it's forms is a major issue at the moment.

There was no way that I was going to unravel the mess when half the Services that should have been running weren't. So I guess I'll back up again for a while until I feel it's worth the risk of not doing so. And I'll back up the Registry as well.

Cheers, fob

OW! Brings tears to the eyes. I feel for you.
