Thanks for the suggestion. I've not used DLL parser before. Is it a downloadable utility?

Browse All TopicsHow 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.

Sorry, its DLL explorer:

Thanks again, but unfortunately it didn't work for me. I saw that article after I got the error on sfc in safe made. It requires that I run MMC but running MMC gives me "MMC cannot create a node manager. Make sure the file Mmcndmgr.dll is registered."
Then I tried registering mmcndmgr.dll with regsvr32 c:\winnt\system32\mmcndmgr

The entry point is missing - that means the current DLL which is being loaded by the application doesn't the proper function defined in it. You need to obtain the copy of DLL which has this function in it.
Use DLL parser to explore the DLL functions.
