Method 1: Installing the Msapi.dll Library to the Windows System Directory

  1. The file you will download is a compressed file with the ".zip" extension. You cannot directly install the ".zip" file. Because of this, first, double-click this file and open the file. You will see the library named "Msapi.dll" in the window that opens. Drag this library to the desktop with the left mouse button. This is the library you need.
    Extracting the Msapi.dll library from the .zip file
    Step 1:Extracting the Msapi.dll library from the .zip file
  2. Copy the "Msapi.dll" library you extracted and paste it into the "C:\Windows\System32" directory.
    Copying the Msapi.dll library into the Windows/System32 directory
    Step 2:Copying the Msapi.dll library into the Windows/System32 directory
  3. If you are using a 64 Bit operating system, copy the "Msapi.dll" library and paste it into the "C:\Windows\sysWOW64" as well.
    NOTE! On Windows operating systems with 64 Bit architecture, the dynamic link library must be in both the "sysWOW64" directory as well as the "System32" directory. In other words, you must copy the "Msapi.dll" library into both directories.
    Pasting the Msapi.dll library into the Windows/sysWOW64 directory
    Step 3:Pasting the Msapi.dll library into the Windows/sysWOW64 directory
  4. In order to run the Command Line as an administrator, complete the following steps.
    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.

  5. Let's copy the command below and paste it in the Command Line that comes up, then let's press Enter. This command deletes the Msapi.dll library's problematic registry in the Windows Registry Editor (The library that we copied to the System32 directory does not perform any action with the library, it just deletes the registry in the Windows Registry Editor. The library that we pasted into the System32 directory will not be damaged).
    %windir%\System32\regsvr32.exe /u Msapi.dll
    Deleting the Msapi.dll library's problematic registry in the Windows Registry Editor
    Step 5:Deleting the Msapi.dll library's problematic registry in the Windows Registry Editor
  6. If the Windows you use has 64 Bit architecture, after running the command above, you must run the command below. This command will clean the broken registry of the Msapi.dll library from the 64 Bit architecture (The Cleaning process is only with registries in the Windows Registry Editor. In other words, the dynamic link library that we pasted into the SysWoW64 directory will stay as it is).
    %windir%\SysWoW64\regsvr32.exe /u Msapi.dll
    Uninstalling the broken registry of the Msapi.dll library from the Windows Registry Editor (for 64 Bit)
    Step 6:Uninstalling the broken registry of the Msapi.dll library from the Windows Registry Editor (for 64 Bit)

    %windir%\System32\regsvr32.exe /i Msapi.dll
    Creating a new registry for the Msapi.dll library
    Step 7:Creating a new registry for the Msapi.dll library

    Step 8:Reregistering the Msapi.dll library in the system (for 64 Bit)
  9. If you did all the processes correctly, the missing dll file will have been installed. You may have made some mistakes when running the Command Line processes. Generally, these errors will not prevent the Msapi.dll library from being installed. In other words, the installation will be completed, but it may give an error due to some incompatibility issues.
