I'm trying to register a msstdfmt.dll in my Window 7 System32 folder with 'Run & regsvr32.exe msstdfmt.dll' but I get a message telling me to check if it's compatible with x86(32 bit) or x64 bit version of regsvr32.exe. How do I do this?

I need the msstdfmt.dll to run Excbuilder2.

32 bit applications can only load 32 bit dlls.

 

If running a 64 Bit Windows edition, the 32 bit dlls should reside in

 

C:\Windows\SysWOW64\ folder

 

Assuming “Excbuilder2” is a 32-bit application and “msstdfmt.dll” is also a 32-bit dll,

 

once you have copied the dll to the relevant folder, try this...

 

Open the Windows run command and type

 

Regsvr32 C:\Windows\SysWOW64\msstdfmt.dll

 

Or

 

Regsvr32 “C:\Windows\SysWOW64\msstdfmt.dll” (with quotes if the above doesn’t work)

Ahh...brilliant. Thank you.

C:\Windows\SysWOW64\ folder/Regsvr32 C:\Windows\SysWOW64\msstdfmt.dll did the trick.
