Rundll32.exe corrupted Installer

I know that the rundll32.exe is in the dllcache folder in Windows.  I've copied to c:\windows\system32.

Problem: when I try to open a file with the extension .exe I get a message: who says Installer is corrupt.  What now?

Yes, this happens with any .exe file, I try to open.

Go to http://www.dougknox.com/xp/file_assoc.htm, read the explanation at the top of the page, then download the EXE file Association difficulty and the difficulty of Association LNK (shortcut) file and follow the instructions.

    Hi EddieBryan,

    1. did you of recent changes on the computer?

    2. do you have security software installed on the computer?

    3. when exactly you receive the error message?

    Method 1
    Check if the problem persists in safe mode and after return with the result.

    Method 2
    If the problem does not persist in safe mode, then it is possible that some third-party programs installed on the computer is causing the problem.
    I suggest that you configure the computer in a clean boot state and check if it helps.
    To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows XP by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

    The System Configuration Utility dialog box appears.
    3. click on the general tab, click Normal Startup - load all services and device drivers and then click OK.
    4. When prompted, click on restart to restart the computer.

    Method 3

    If the previous step fails then I suggest that scan you SFC on the computer that will search the corrupted system files and try to correct them.

    The analysis may take some time, so be patient. Windows allows to fix corrupt or missing files it finds. If the information of the installation CD is required to fix the problem, you may be asked to insert your Windows XP installation CD.

  • not found c:\WINDOWS\system32\rundll32.exe

    It's one of the messages when I try to open certain files or downloads.  I can't get my control panel items to open.   What is happening with my system?

    If you see a message like this:

    Control Panel
    Windows cannot find 'C:\WINDOWS\system32\rundll32.exe '.  Make sure you typed the name correctly and then try again.  To search for a file, click the Start button, and then click search.

    This means that your system is currently or has been infected with malicious or all software you use antivirus/antimalware tools examined the file a threat and quarantined (effectively deleted) file.

    Provide information on your system, the better you can:

    What is your system brand and model?

    What is your Version of XP and the Service Pack?

    Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Symantec, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, MSE, Panda, Trend Micro, CA, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, Comodo, etc..

    The afflicted system has a working CD/DVD (internal or external) drive?

    You have a true bootable XP installation CD (it is not the same as any recovery CD provided with your system)?

    If the system works, what do you think might have changed since the last time it did not work properly?

    Sinusoidal signals, we know nothing on your system, I have on my SkyDrive a copy of rundll32.exe file that comes from Windows XP Service Pack 3.

    Things of course would work better here is the support engineers technical Microsoft has not assumed automatically everyone has a CD of Windows XP installation by hand, huh?  The Ministry of Education should address the problems with the idea that no one has a genuine XP bootable installation CD.

    You can download the rundll32.exe file and when you do, place a copy of the file in these two folders (assuming that Windows is installed on your C drive):

    c:\Windows\System32
    c:\Windows\System32\dllcache (this is where XP keeps backups of important files).

    Here is the link to my SkyDrive and you can get the file you need here:

    http://CID-6a7e789cab1d6f39.SkyDrive.live.com/redir.aspx?RESID=6A7E789CAB1D6F39! 311

    When you see the files available for download, you will not see the extension of file (.exe, .dll, .cpl, .sys, etc), but when download you them they will have the right extension.

    You have to put the downloaded files in the correct folders on your system.

    That may not solve all your problems, but at least you will be spending this part and we can then fix the rest.

    I would follow with this:

    Perform scans for malware, and then fix any problems:
    Download, install, update and do a full scan with these free malware detection programs:
    Malwarebytes (MMFA): http://malwarebytes.org/
    SUPERAntiSpyware: (SAS): http://www.superantispyware.com/
    They can be uninstalled later if you wish.

  • Rundll32.exe error

    This is the message:

    Windows cannot find C:\system32\rundll32.exe. Make sure you typed the name correctly and then try again.
    I get this when I open the control panel and try to use some of the tasks. This problem started to has occurred just after a routine download and installation of updates of Windows.

    Oh... I see it now (with IE7).  I mainly use Firefox or Chrome.

    Hey Robert Pyle, if you use Internet Explorer, when you choose to download the file, in the file name box, it seems fair to say:

    Rundll32

    You need to change this to:

    Rundll32.exe

    Then save it and put the rundll32.exe in the appropriate folders.

    Or, you can locate the rundll32 you have already downloaded, rename the rundll32.exe and put it in the appropriate folders.  Sorry about that!

    I'll work on the setting of my instructions in my notes (it's just a copy/paste).  I'm surprised that no one has mentioned this before that I sent this rundll32.exe repeatedly.  It seems that IE7 (at least) doesn't pay attention to the extension shown in SkyDrive (I tried a .dll file file extensions too-).

    It makes IE even worse than I thought!

    Zee Beck drawing board, is?

    This is good feedback so :)

    Maybe someday the MS Answers forums will be catch up with the rest of the world and leave things like attachments and personal messages (so we can email), etc.  None...

    Make sure that your files are stored somewhere other than the C: drive.

    Check the PATH variable. Open the command prompt, type the path and press ENTER.

    If Windows is installed in the default location, it must at least contain C:\Windows\system32; C:\Windows; C:\Windows\System32\Wbem

    It can contain other values as well, but all of this should be included.

    If the path variable contains the correct value, you may need to reinstall windows and all your programs, but you must ensure that you have all your installation discs and product first keys.
