Methods for Fixing Wininet.dll

ATTENTION! In order to install the Wininet.dll library, you must first download it. If you haven't downloaded it, before continuing on with the installation, download the library. If you don't know how to download it, all you need to do is look at the dll download guide found on the top line.

Method 1: Copying the Wininet.dll Library to the Windows System Directory

  1. The file you downloaded is a compressed file with the ".zip" extension. In order to install it, first, double-click the ".zip" file and open the file. You will see the library named "Wininet.dll" in the window that opens up. This is the library you need to install. Drag this library to the desktop with your mouse's left button.
    Extracting the Wininet.dll library
    Step 1:Extracting the Wininet.dll library
  2. Copy the "Wininet.dll" library file you extracted.
  3. Paste the dynamic link library you copied into the "C:\Windows\System32" directory.
    Pasting the Wininet.dll library into the Windows/System32 directory
    Step 3:Pasting the Wininet.dll library into the Windows/System32 directory
  4. If your system is 64 Bit, copy the "Wininet.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 "Wininet.dll" library.
    Copying the Wininet.dll library to the Windows/sysWOW64 directory
    Step 4:Copying the Wininet.dll library to the Windows/sysWOW64 directory
  5. 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.
    3. A window will pop up asking, "Do you want to run this process?". Confirm it by clicking to "Yes" button.
    Running the Command Line as an administrator
    Step 5:Running the Command Line as an administrator
  6. Paste the command below into the Command Line window that opens up and press Enter key. This command will delete the problematic registry of the Wininet.dll library (Nothing will happen to the library we pasted in the System32 directory, it just deletes the registry from the Windows Registry Editor. The library we pasted in the System32 directory will not be damaged).
    %windir%\System32\regsvr32.exe /u Wininet.dll
    Cleaning the problematic registry of the Wininet.dll library from the Windows Registry Editor
    Step 6:Cleaning the problematic registry of the Wininet.dll library from the Windows Registry Editor
  7. 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 Wininet.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 Wininet.dll
    Uninstalling the broken registry of the Wininet.dll library from the Windows Registry Editor (for 64 Bit)
    Step 7:Uninstalling the broken registry of the Wininet.dll library from the Windows Registry Editor (for 64 Bit)
  8. You must create a new registry for the dynamic link library that you deleted from the registry editor. In order to do this, copy the command below and paste it into the Command Line and hit Enter.
    %windir%\System32\regsvr32.exe /i Wininet.dll
    Creating a new registry for the Wininet.dll library
    Step 8:Creating a new registry for the Wininet.dll library
  9. 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 Wininet.dll library (We deleted the damaged registry with the previous command).
    %windir%\SysWoW64\regsvr32.exe /i Wininet.dll
    Creating a clean registry for the Wininet.dll library (for 64 Bit)
    Step 9:Creating a clean registry for the Wininet.dll library (for 64 Bit)
  10. You may see certain error messages when running the commands from the command line. These errors will not prevent the installation of the Wininet.dll library. In other words, the installation will finish, but it may give some errors because of certain incompatibilities. After restarting your computer, to see if the installation was successful or not, try running the program that was giving the dll error again. If you continue to get the errors when running the program after the installation, you can try the 2nd Method as an alternative.

Method 2: Copying The Wininet.dll Library Into The Program Installation Directory

  1. In order to install the dynamic link library, you need to find the installation directory for the program that was giving you errors such as "Wininet.dll is missing", "Wininet.dll not found" or similar error messages.

    Confirming the uninstall process
    Step 3:Confirming the uninstall process
