Re-Register all DLL’s to fix “No such interface supported” error in windows 7 after installing IE7 Standalone

Re-Register all DLL’s to fix “No such interface supported” error in windows 7 after installing IE7 Standalone

Disclaimer: All care No Responsibility. you follow the instructions provided at your own risk. I take no responsibility any damage you may cause. Please read the article in full before starting

To test some website stuff I tried to install IE7 on my windows 7 machine. now I cant run explorer for browsing files or accessing control panel and the like. I found an old guide for re-registering all your dll’s that I thought was quite nifty so I thought I woukld re-share it with you. (up-dated from windows 98)

The original instructions basically get you to dump all DLL files into notepad, then do a find and replace to regsvr32 them all. if you do it from c:\ like it suggests, you might get more than you need. including dll files from the recycle bin.

this fixed my problem. and I think its worth trying this way before doing it for every file on your computer.

I am going to assume your windows installation is on C:\ and in C:\ windows

1. open command promt as an administrator (You may need to find it in accessories, right click it and run as administrator if you are having issues with security rights)

2. type

CD C:\WINDOWS

(and C:\ if you werent on that drive by default)

3. type Dir *.dll /s /b > c:\regdll.bat

This will search for all dll files within c:\windows (including /subdirectories) and output them (in /bare format) into a text file on the c:\ called regdll.bat
you cant run it just yet because its just a list of files, we need to change it so that its actually got a command. open the file in your prefered text editor (notepad) and do a replace on c:\ , replacing it with Regsvr32.exe /s c:\

This is what your file should look like.

regsvr32_find_and_replace.jpg

Now. before trying to run the file. I highly recommend you scrolldown until you find $patchcache$ and WinSXS folders and deleting all the references to the files within those directories in the file. (dont delete them off your computer) Leaving them in will excruciatingly increase the time to do this and very likely stuff lots up. Also John Crenshaw mentions: You probably also want to delete any lines for the temp folder, if any, since registering a DLL that may not exist later is probably not an awesome idea.

Once this is done. Save the file and run it. If you still have your command prompt as administrator open, just type c:\regdll.bat

This will register all dll files in c:\windows and subdirectories. This will take some time, (Potentially, also register files that would not normally be registered by default, (like files in $patchcache$ and other windows directories if you did not remove them). It worked for me and I dont need to do a reinstall 🙂

You will get errors. just click ok.

    It was healpfull. I found lots of sites with similiar content. Probably this problem do not involve only instaling IE7. After i installed my win7 x64 i removed IE from my system and deleted all folders in Program Files (and in (x86)) and never installed any patch for IE or newer IE.
    This bug simply somehow appeard and i didn’t noticed when (i wanted to change theam of my desktop and RMB on it -> “Personalize” -> No souch interface blabla error).

    Few bugs in article: missing “\” after c:

    Some addidional advices: If someone is using 64-bit version of win7 i recomend to delete most entries with “System32”, not including “driver” in name. 64-bit system do not usually use 32-bit .dll so why bother.
    .NET Framework .dll’s could be excluded too, becouse there are lot of them and 100% don’t couse this error.

    But overall great article, hope that people on msdn forums would give souch advices, not something like: go back to restor point or some other useless advices not resolving problem.

    It really does work EXPLORER.EXE is now fine….. just be sure to check that you do the replace in the file 😛 I almost skipped that part

  4. dänu January 1, 2011 at 3:05 pm

    yep.. saved my ass 😉
    “Emulating” IE7 (+ 8) can be done via the developer tools.

    I followed the directions and the file ran but stopped when it hit MaxxAudioRealtek2.dll and has been there for close to 45 minutes. Should I assume that there is an issue?

    Should have not inform them to delete all the files in the directory:

    “$patchcache$ and WinSXS folders and deleting all the files in there”.

    johniculusus :

    I dont ask people to delete the files, just remove them from the text file. But I can see how some might misunderstand. I have changed the wording.

    Thanks a lot bro 🙂

  43. pyrocam April 26, 2012 at 11:09 pm

    Charles Helvey :

    Instead of doing the file and the find / replace, you can:

    This is the command for use in the command prompt:
    for /f %a in (‘dir /b/s c:\windows\*.dll’) do regsvr32 /s %a

    This is the command for use in a batch file:
    for /f %%a in (‘dir /b/s c:\windows\*.dll’) do regsvr32 /s %%a

    The dir /b/s will produce a list of all dll files with paths. For example, c:\windows\file.dll or c:\windows\system32\file.dll. The single quote marks around the command tell for/f that you want the output of a command, not a file.

    The %a variable gets each file name in turn from the dir command’s output.

    regsvr32 /s – the /s silently registers, so you won’t have to click OK a million times.

    In w7 or vista the command prompt should be run as administrator.

    Whilst this might work, it does not give you the opportunity to remove the $patchcache$ and WinSXS dll files which you DON’T want to register

  44. Erik April 27, 2012 at 12:34 pm

    Thanks pyrocam for all this! Unfortunately, didn’t seem to work for me. I noticed you seemed more emphatic in previous post regarding: “$patchcache$ and WinSXS dll files which you DON’T want to register.” I DID NOT remove those from text file (probably why it took so long to run). SHOULD I REMOVE THEM AND TRY AGAIN? If so, please forgive my amateur question, but how can I remove many lines in text file without painfully slow scrolling? Thanks!

    It’s worth trying
    to select large areas you can use shift + pagedown, or left click at the start, move the scrollbar to where it ends, hold shift and left click where it ends.

    Good luck

    • pyrocam June 13, 2012 at 8:43 pm

      that’s not right, the whole process should take less than 10mins. make sure there are no errors popping up that are hidden behind another window. If there is nothing take out twain and retry. It wont be required to fix it anyway

  56. Jeff June 16, 2012 at 1:52 am

    Update. This worked until I restarted, then windows appeared to load but all that was displayed was a black screen and just the cursor. The same with safe mode. All I could do was repair mode and restore back to before the re-registering. I will try again but only doing the dlls one folder at a time unless anyone else can let me know which dlls were affected by installing ie7 standalone. Appreciate any help offered. – peace

    • pyrocam June 17, 2012 at 7:56 pm

      I haven’t heard of that happening, are you removing the winsxs and patchcache folders ?

  58. Jeff June 17, 2012 at 10:50 pm

    pyrocam :
    I haven’t heard of that happening, are you removing the winsxs and patchcache folders ?

    Yes, I removed both winsxs and $patchcache$ references in the regdll.bat file. I’ve since searched for more info and have seen the same issue posted elsewhere but with no solution. So after plenty of searching I came across this site: http://iefaq.info/index.php?action=artikel&cat=48&id=133&artlang=en I downloaded and used the file ie8-rereg.64on64.cmd that was in the .zip (it’s been updated to include ie9) and now my issue is solved. Looking at the contents of the file, it’s only a few dlls that need re-registering. Hopefully this will help others. Peace

  59. Tim June 19, 2012 at 1:12 pm

    I believe you can do something like:
    for %i IN (dir /s /b *.dll) DO (regsvr32 /s %i)

    • pyrocam June 19, 2012 at 8:23 pm

      You can but this doesnt ignore the patchcache or winsxs folders so I’d highly recommend NOT doing this.

    Although many people said this Batch file execution method helped them, for me it did not work at all. I use a Sony Laptop and the last time I did a maintenance with “VAIO care” I faced this same probelm. no exe file could be executed by dbl-clicking on it. and no start-up program loaded either. no shortcut could be opened. I felt I had gone back to stone age! I think the reason for my problem was that I had hibernated my computer for several days and never did a restart. So, The solution was very simple. I restarted the in “Safe mode with command prompt” and used MS DOS prompt to get to VAIOcare.exe and run it. It was fine and I did a roll-back on the registery cleaner restore point, then restarted windows. all problems solved.

    Alas, after re-registering the dlls all is fine until I reboot. Then I’m left with the black screen of death and just the white mouse pointer.
    I can solve that with a system restore but that means reverting back to my previous problem pre registered.
    Any ideas?

    • pyrocam October 8, 2012 at 7:07 pm

      Try VoorHees’s idea. I haven’t tested it myself but no harm in trying. I can only expect that its not working due to registering more files that shouldn’t be registered.

    You could try voorhees’s idea (above) but I havent tested. I would guess your problem is to do with more files being registered than should be

    you are the man! thank you sir, you saved me a boatload of time, grief, and many other terrible unnecessary experiences. The only thing I had some issues with was that regsvr32 kept crashing. It would immediately come back up, but I am guessing this could be solved by setting the “buffer” command in the batch file. Thanks for sharing, God bless!

    Excellent. Worked perfectly, didn’t even need a restart!

    For editing the .bat file I highly recommend Notepad++ instead of notepad

    🙂

    Thank you! I have been trying every suggestion for months on end. Finally, I can “open containing folder” from downloads in Firefox without getting the dreaded “interface not registered”!

    So i did everything you said down to the t, let it run and even restarted before i tried everything just to be sure. Still have the no such interface supported error. Ive used AVG pc tuneup to defragment and clean my registry prior to that as well. After i tried what the original .bat file i used reza’s shorter list for a .bat file as well and it still did not work. What am i to do!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  113. Ray Wood April 22, 2015 at 8:32 pm

    It didn’t work for me. I tried to run
    gpresult /h gpreport and I still get
    ERROR: No such interface supported

  114. John June 7, 2015 at 5:53 pm

    Thank you so much for this. I have win7 64 bit and I have tried at least 10 other things to attempt to fix this problem. This FINALLY worked for me, I am so grateful. I had to tweak where I saved the file that gets created because I could not access it to edit it while it was saved in c:\ cus explorer was broken (whole reason I needed the fix) so I had to edit the place the file gets saved to my desktop c:\users\me\destop\regdll.bat then I could open and edit it.. also when I tried to save it in JUST c: I had to make sure I ran notepad as administrator or it would not save.

    if others have same issue maybe this will help.

    Thank you so much.

  115. Gautam September 3, 2015 at 11:02 am

    sorry…did not work for me… even though I had a bloody hard time pressing a key everytime the dll files were processed… it went on for an hour….and after I reboot…. still that fu*$ing error of “Class not registered”… cannot open the bloody directory where I downloaded the file….. :(((((((

  116. Steven October 10, 2015 at 6:03 am

    Someone else wrote Dir *.dll /s /b > c:\re-regdll.bat Yet yours wrote Dir *.dll /s /b > c:\regdll.bat Therefore I was a success

  117. Netlace November 7, 2015 at 4:18 am

    I hope this still receives answers… I accidentally deleted a couple of files in error. I was very tired and now I cant open files. The file is the actxprxy from 32 folder, still have the 64. I cant find anywhere to replace them myself. I thought this tool might work. Trouble is I must have the txt open to desktop as I cant open ANY folders….

  118. Netlace November 7, 2015 at 4:28 am

    Will not work with 64bit?
