Method 1: Installing the Msdds.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 "Msdds.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 Msdds.dll library from the .zip file

  2. Copy the "Msdds.dll" library you extracted and paste it into the "C:\Windows\System32" directory.
    Copying the Msdds.dll library into the Windows/System32 directory
    Step 2:Copying the Msdds.dll library into the Windows/System32 directory
  3. If your system is 64 Bit, copy the "Msdds.dll" library and paste it into "C:\Windows\sysWOW64" directory.
    NOTE! On 64 Bit systems, you must copy the dynamic link library to both the "sysWOW64" and "System32" directories. In other words, both directories need the "Msdds.dll" library.
    Copying the Msdds.dll library to the Windows/sysWOW64 directory
    Step 3:Copying the Msdds.dll library to the Windows/sysWOW64 directory
  4. In order to run the Command Line as an administrator, complete the following steps.

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.

    Deleting the damaged registry of the Msdds.dll
    Step 5:Deleting the damaged registry of the Msdds.dll
  6. 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 Msdds.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 Msdds.dll
    Uninstalling the damaged Msdds.dll library's registry from the system (for 64 Bit)

    Step 8:Creating a clean registry for the Msdds.dll library (for 64 Bit)
  9. You may see certain error messages when running the commands from the command line. These errors will not prevent the installation of the Msdds.dll library. In other words, the installation will finish, but it may give some errors because of certain incompatibilities.
