Answer 1

When you open the task manager, try typing in "explorer" instead of "regedit". You will probably get the same error "Unable to locate component", but it's worth a try. If that doesn't work, try typing in "iexplore" to start Internet Explorer. If it starts, go to http://www.dlldump.com/download-dll-files_new.php/dllfiles/I/iertutil.dll/7.0.5450.4/download.html and download iertutil.dll into C:\Windows\System32. Restart your computer. Hope this helps.



Edit: After doing a little searching around, I doubt that you will be able to start Internet Explorer since it is dependent on iertutil.dll. Here is an article that I found that has a fix but you will need a second computer and some type of media to store the dll on, like a CD or a USB flash drive: http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/592125/fix_windows_and_internet_explorer_missing.html

Answer 2

All you do is go into windows explorer, click on the dll file and right click and choose copy. Then paste a copy of the file into the C:\windows\system32 directory. The dll file needs to reside also, in the same directory as the .EXE file for the software. Since you don't know how the main program was encoded, you don't know for sure what sub-directory it may be calling the dll. If there are sub-directories, copy to each sub-directory the dll file and that should fix the problem. Having mutliple copies of the dll file on a computer does NOT hurt it.
