Generally speaking, you cannot replace the DLLs of an older version with the ones in Windows XP. You may be able to use copies placed in a program's directory in Windows 2000. You probably cannot do this in 95 / 98 / ME / NT4 unless you make certain that an older version of the DLL has not been loaded into memory.

What programs do you download to run DLL files?

Normally none. A Dynamic Link Library contains executable code that is not meant to be executed standalone, but in context with some hosting software. Typically, that host is a standalone executable (.exe). For example, Word for Windows loads a number of DLLs when running. These DLLs provide all kind of services, tools and data to the Word application, and through the application to the user. These DLLs are not normally designed, or capable of, running stanadalone. Exceptions exist. Windows screensavers or control panel applets are DLLs (which are run through an operating-system service), and Windows supplies a generic DLL host (RUNDLL.EXE) to execute apropriately designed DLLs.

What is DLL in computer programs?

Dynamic-link library (also written without the hyphen), or DLL, is Microsoft's implementation of the shared library concept in the Microsoft Windows and OS/2 operating systems. These libraries usually have the file extension DLL, OCX (for libraries containing ActiveX controls), or DRV (for legacy system drivers). The file formats for DLLs are the same as for Windows EXE files - that is, Portable Executable (PE) for 32-bit and 64-bit Windows, and New Executable (NE) for 16-bit Windows. As with EXEs, DLLs can contain code, data, and resources, in any combination.

How do you change bytes around in a dll file?

Hmm...You'd use a Hex editor. Search on Google for a free one. However... why would you want to do this? Messing around with system DLLs is a very good way to seriously damage your operating system install, sometimes to the extent that it won't boot. Unless you have created the DLLs that you intend to change, I would not recommend doing this.

Retrieving the com class factory for component with clsid bd1700a9-a639-4966-9654-d79aab35f0cd failed due to the following error 80040154?

When you register an ATL server, you might get error 0x80040154 (hsows that the Class is not registered). For DLLs, REGSVR32.exe returns this error. For EXEs, the call to _Module::RegisterServer(CComModule::RegisterServer) in _tWinMain() returns this error. This means the ATL70.dll file is not installed/registered. For Visual Studio 6.0 and earlier, the ATL runtime is contained in ATL.dll. If you use Visual Studio 6.0 or earlier, use ATL.dll instead of the later Visual Studio.NET version. Solution for it Install ATL70.dll (or ATL.dll for earlier versions of Visual Studio) in the Wind...Install ATL70.dll (or ATL.dll for earlier versions of Visual Studio) in the Windows\System or Winnt\System32 directory. You do not have to register ATL70.dll, however, you must register ATL.dll by using Regsvr32.exe. There are UNICODE and ANSI versions of ATL70.dll and ATL.dll. Install the appropriate version on the target operating system (that is, UNICODE for Microsoft Windows NT, and ANSI for Microsoft Windows 95 or Microsoft Windows 98). for further click below link http://support.microsoft.com/kb/201191
