dbghelp.dll errors while installing or running some programs

[Sergiaws]

Don't understand why some setups/programs give me an error that dbghelp.dll is missing. I tried to put the dbghelp.dll in the same folder as the application, but nothing happens, still have the same error. If I try to put in the folder of the setup the dbghelp.dll located in Syswow64, it just tells that I don't have the minimum system requirements. Someone had these problems with that dll? Pd. Using the dghelp.dll provided by Win32 in his extended Kernel don't solve the issue.

No.

System error at app load, or app error later? 64-bit Vista, app, and Dbghelp?

 

[Sergiaws]

Sometimes while loading an app (for example an installer of Intel Graphic driver), and sometimes while loading menus of ClamWin antivirus.

Not helpful. Please reread and try again.

If this is a new message after replacement of DbgHelp from wow64 into the applications folder then it could be a 32bit app. So you need both a 64bit DbgHelp and a 32bit version of DbgHelp I would think but not sure. Even though you have tried a different version of DbgHelp sometimes the app comes with its own DbgHelp which can be too old to interact with other OS components and I would try a different version again. For example Dungeon Siege 1 comes with DbgHelp and originally my WinME system had to use this version with the game. Now my ME system does not work with the Dungeon Siege 1 original DbgHelp and I have to remove it from the apps folder and use/rely on my system DbgHelp which is version 6.9.3.113. I use this version because it has more functions available over any newer version that is compatible with WinME. I think from memory that DbgHelp, ImageHlp and ImgUtil, to which I use LH5270 versions of the latter have to be compatible to each other. Use Dependency Walker to see if it is 64bit or 32bit.
