    NOTE! In this explanation, we ran the Command Line on Windows 10. If you are using one of the Windows 8.1, Windows 8, Windows 7, Windows Vista or Windows XP operating systems, you can use the same methods to run the Command Line as an administrator. Even though the pictures are taken from Windows 10, the processes are similar.
    1. First, open the Start Menu and before clicking anywhere, type "cmd" but do not press Enter.
    2. When you see the "Command Line" option among the search results, hit the "CTRL" + "SHIFT" + "ENTER" keys on your keyboard.

    %windir%\System32\regsvr32.exe /u Cms_start.dll
    Uninstalling the Cms_start.dll library from the system registry
    Step 8:Uninstalling the Cms_start.dll library from the system registry
  9. If you are using a 64 Bit operating system, after doing the commands above, you also need to run the command below. With this command, we will also delete the Cms_start.dll library's damaged registry for 64 Bit (The deleting process will be only for the registries in Regedit. In other words, the dll file you pasted into the SysWoW64 folder will not be damaged at all).
    %windir%\SysWoW64\regsvr32.exe /u Cms_start.dll
    Uninstalling the damaged Cms_start.dll library's registry from the system (for 64 Bit)
    Step 9:Uninstalling the damaged Cms_start.dll library's registry from the system (for 64 Bit)
  10. We need to make a clean registry for the dll library's registry that we deleted from Regedit (Windows Registry Editor). In order to accomplish this, copy and paste the command below into the Command Line and press Enter key.
    %windir%\System32\regsvr32.exe /i Cms_start.dll
    Making a clean registry for the Cms_start.dll library in Regedit (Windows Registry Editor)
    Step 10:Making a clean registry for the Cms_start.dll library in Regedit (Windows Registry Editor)
  11. If you are using a Windows with 64 Bit architecture, after running the previous command, you need to run the command below. By running this command, we will have created a clean registry for the Cms_start.dll library (We deleted the damaged registry with the previous command).
    %windir%\SysWoW64\regsvr32.exe /i Cms_start.dll
    Creating a clean registry for the Cms_start.dll library (for 64 Bit)
    Step 11:Creating a clean registry for the Cms_start.dll library (for 64 Bit)
  12. If you did the processes in full, the installation should have finished successfully. If you received an error from the command line, you don't need to be anxious. Even if the Cms_start.dll library was installed successfully, you can still receive error messages like these due to some incompatibilities. In order to test whether your dll issue was fixed or not, try running the program giving the error message again. If the error is continuing, try the 2nd Method to fix this issue.
