Replacing DLLs

[GrungyPete]

Ok, I'm having a spot of trouble. I've been trying to replace one of my dll files, but I can't, because the file is in use. I've found a command line program that supposedly switches DLLs, but apparently it only works for windows NT/2000. I was wondering if anyone could give me some assistance with this. Thanx

Hello GrungyPete
Welcome to CTH
Im not real sure but I would think since theres no dos promt that you would have to use a boot disk and go to a command promt then you could access windows and change any dll. file you would like.

Identify the file you require and use msconfig to extract the file from location c:\windows\options\instal...extract it to say, c:\my documents.

Re-boot your machine with a Win ME boot disk in the floppy drive, and at the command line prompt, put in this text...I`m assuming that the location of the "in use" dll is c:\windows\system and change the text yourfile.dll to the required filename:

REPLACE c:\windows\system yourfile.dll c:\my documents\yourfile.dll/r

Thanks, Geordie. Hopefully, that'll get the problem cleared up.

No prob. Why do you need to replace a dll?
