Register DLL without moving it to System32 in Windows 10 64 bit
To register a DLL without moving it to the System32 directory on a 64-bit Windows 10 system, you can use the following steps:
Open a Command Prompt as an administrator.
Navigate to the directory where the DLL is located. For example:
mathematicacd C:\Path\To\Your\DLL
Register the DLL using the
regsvr32
command. However, instead of usingregsvr32
directly, use the version from the SysWOW64 directory to handle 32-bit DLLs on 64-bit systems. The command should be:makefileC:\Windows\SysWOW64\regsvr32.exe YourDLL.dll
Replace
YourDLL.dll
with the actual name of your DLL file.Press Enter to execute the command. If the registration is successful, you should see a confirmation message.
By following these steps, you can register a DLL without moving it to the System32 directory on a 64-bit Windows 10 system. Using the regsvr32
command from the SysWOW64 directory ensures that the registration is done correctly for 32-bit DLLs on a 64-bit system.
