Issue:

Windows system DLLs must be re-registered.

Solution:

Re-register all 32-bit DLLs on 64-bit Windows:

1. Click 'Start' and search for 'cmd'.
2. Right click on 'cmd.exe' and select 'Run As Administrator'.
3. Change to the Windows system directory with:

   • cd %Windir%\SysWoW64\

4. Re-register all DLLs with:

   • for %v in ( *.dll ) do regsvr32 /s %v

5. Reboot (if necessary).
