Install DLL file - Here's how

You do not have to install a DLL file under Windows, but you have to register it. We'll show you how it's done.

Install and register the DLL file

1. If you have downloaded a DLL file, it is usually packed in a ZIP file. Unzip the DLL file so that it is on your desktop.
2. Now copy the DLL file into the target directory. On Windows, most of the DLL files are located in the path "C: \ Windows \ System".
3. If the file already exists, replace the file. For security, you can also copy the old DLL file to your desktop. Then restart your computer.
4. Press the "Windows" and "R" keys simultaneously so that the "Execute" command opens. Enter "cmd" there and click "OK".
5. A small black window opens. Type in the command "regsvr32 C: \ Windows \ System32 \ Test.dll" and confirm with the "Enter" key. Then the DLL file is registered. Of course, you have to adjust the path depending on the file.
