The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

How do I resolve the procedure entry point SHRegGetValueW...SHLWAPI.dll  error?

Asked by jbodine in Windows 2000 Operating System

Tags: The procedure entry point SHRegGetValueW could not be located in the dynamic link library SHLWAPI.dll

How do I get around this procedure entry point problem without the original Win 2K CD?

Beginning Wednesday the 13th after my PC automatically restarted after a Windows update I've been getting the error "The procedure entry point SHRegGetValueW could not be located in the dynamic link library SHLWAPI.dll". IE is one of the only programs that seems to be unaffected.

I first tried replacing SHLWAPI.dll with an older version but that resulted in no change. I then uninstalled the most recent update but that didn't change anything either. Then I tried Microsoft update and part of the update failed: KB110806 .NET Fremework 2.0 Service Pack 1 "A problem has been encountered while loading the setup components. Canceling setup."

I tried running sfc /scannow but I cannot find the Win 2000 CD that came with the PC so it would not continue. I've googled and found reference to Win XP with issues related to the error I'm getting, but not Win 2000 so far.

I tried restoring the registry with a good backup but could not due to the same procedure entry point error.

I'm running Windows 2000 Pro 5.00.2195 Service Pack 4 on a Dell Dimension 8200, Pentium 4 1.9 GHz.

Thank you.
