Cannot open my Explorer error C:\Windows\system32\DWrite.dll if the other is not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error

Try to connect to the Solution Explorer, I get a message:

"C:\Windows\system32\DWrite.dll is not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error. Try to install the program by using the original installation media or contact your system administrator or the provider of software for support"

Is this a virus?

    1. Click Start, type system restore in the search box, and then click System Restore in the list programs. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password or click on continue.

    2. in the System Restore dialog box, click on choose another restore point and then click Next.

    3. in the list of restore points, click a restore point created before you started having the problem, and then click Next.

    4. click on finish.

    The computer restarts and system files and settings are back to the State they were in when the restore point was created.

    I have try the .exe running in all sorts of compatibility mode as well as manually from the install in compatibility mode. all I get is the same error each time.

  • C:\Windows\System32\wship6.dll is not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error.

    I can't open windows live mail and other programs that also many installers will not work for this reason.

    I get the following error:

    wlmail.exe - incorrect Image

    C:\Windows\System32\wship6.dll is not designed to run on
    Windows or it contains an error. Try to install the program using the
    the original installation media or contact your system administrator or
    the Publisher of the software to support

    I had to click OK 4 or 5 times to make it go away

    Many installers will not work because of this.

    System information:

    OS version: Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium, Service Pack 1, 64-bit
    Processor: AMD A6 - 3400 M APU with graphics HD Radeon (TM), AMD64 family 18 model 1 Stepping 0
    Number of processors: 4
    RAM: Mb 5610
    Graphics card: AMD Radeon (TM) HD 6520 G, 512 MB

    Motherboard: Hewlett-Packard, 358B
    Antivirus: Norton Internet Security, updated and activated

    Here's what I did to remedy:

    I had to replace the \wship6.dll c:\windows\sysWOW64 file not the file c:\windows\system32\wship6.dll

    I had to start Windows Recovery Environment, load the command prompt and replace the file c:\windows\sysWOW64\wship6.dll to a system of work w7 (I used an iso oem and 7zip)

    ( 1 copy the file in a place should be on my boot drive (c :) in my case))

    2 . restart your computer , press and hold F8 as your computer restarts. You need to press F8 before the Windows logo appears. If the Windows logo appears, you will need to start over; to do this, hold the Windows logon prompt appears, and then stop and restart your computer.

    3 . Select repair your computer and press enter.

    4 . Select the option for command line

    type 5 bcdedit | find "osdevice" (note that there is a space after bcdedit and | and also find) that will tell you what drive letter to use to access your startup drive (d: in my case)

    type 6 the drive letter followed by a: (d: in my case) and press enter , the guest must pass to < DriveLetter >: (in my case d:)

    type 7 copy < your place should be > wship6.dll windows\syswow64\wship.dll (replace < your place should be > with the full path to where you place the file) (note the space between the .dll and windows)

    If this does not work, you may need to replace syswow64 system32 in all the above instructions
