Missing DLL Files in Windows 8 - Solved !

Here's a simple explanation for Windows 8, that was simply all over the place in the pinned topic above.

1. Download the necessary DLL: in my case it was the - MSSTDFMT.DLL file.

Copy it to the SysWOW64 folder under your main Windows folder on your C drive

2. Open Command Prompt in Admin Mode  (find CMD prompt under System and right click to select Admin Mode).

.....Type:

Cd \windows\syswow64  (so, that's "cd" ... "space" ... slash "windows" ... slash "syswow64" (no spaces)

Now, press ENTER

3.  Type:

regsvr32 msstdfmt.dll (that's just one space between the command and the file name.

Should now say it is successfully registered.

4. REBOOT !

Good to go.

You're welcome.
