ATTENTION! In order to install the Cygwin.dll library, you must first download it. If you haven't downloaded it, before continuing on with the installation, download the library. If you don't know how to download it, all you need to do is look at the dll download guide found on the top line.
Method 1: Installing the Cygwin.dll Library to the Windows System Directorylink
- The file you are going to download is a compressed file with the '.zip' extension. You cannot directly install the '.zip' file. First, you need to extract the dynamic link library from inside it. So, double-click the file with the '.zip' extension that you downloaded and open the file.
- You will see the library named 'Cygwin.dll' in the window that opens up. This is the library we are going to install. Click the library once with the left mouse button. By doing this you will have chosen the library.
- Click the 'Extract To' symbol marked in the picture. To extract the dynamic link library, it will want you to choose the desired location. Choose the 'Desktop' location and click 'OK' to extract the library to the desktop. In order to do this, you need to use the Winrar program. If you do not have this program, you can find and download it through a quick search on the Internet.
- Copy the 'Cygwin.dll' library file you extracted.
- Paste the dynamic link library you copied into the 'C:WindowsSystem32' directory.
- If your system is 64 Bit, copy the 'Cygwin.dll' library and paste it into 'C:WindowssysWOW64' directory.
NOTE! On 64 Bit systems, you must copy the dynamic link library to both the 'sysWOW64' and 'System32' directories. In other words, both directories need the 'Cygwin.dll' library.
- In order to run the Command Line as an administrator, complete the following steps.
NOTE! In this explanation, we ran the Command Line on Windows 10. If you are using one of the Windows 8.1, Windows 8, Windows 7, Windows Vista or Windows XP operating systems, you can use the same methods to run the Command Line as an administrator. Even though the pictures are taken from Windows 10, the processes are similar.
- First, open the Start Menu and before clicking anywhere, type 'cmd' but do not press Enter.
- When you see the 'Command Line' option among the search results, hit the 'CTRL' + 'SHIFT' + 'ENTER' keys on your keyboard.
- A window will pop up asking, 'Do you want to run this process?'. Confirm it by clicking to 'Yes' button.
- Let's copy the command below and paste it in the Command Line that comes up, then let's press Enter. This command deletes the Cygwin.dll library's problematic registry in the Windows Registry Editor(The library that we copied to the System32 directory does not perform any action with the library, it just deletes the registry in the Windows Registry Editor. The library that we pasted into the System32 directory will not be damaged).
%windir%System32regsvr32.exe /u Cygwin.dll
- If you have a 64 Bit operating system, after running the command above, you must run the command below. This command will clean the Cygwin.dll library's damaged registry in 64 Bit as well (The cleaning process will be in the registries in the Registry Editor< only. In other words, the dll file you paste into the SysWoW64 folder will stay as it).
%windir%SysWoW64regsvr32.exe /u Cygwin.dll
- We need to make a new registry for the dynamic link library in place of the one we deleted from the Windows Registry Editor. In order to do this process, copy the command below and after pasting it in the Command Line, press Enter.
%windir%System32regsvr32.exe /i Cygwin.dll
- If you are using a Windows with 64 Bit architecture, after running the previous command, you need to run the command below. By running this command, we will have created a clean registry for the Cygwin.dll library (We deleted the damaged registry with the previous command).
%windir%SysWoW64regsvr32.exe /i Cygwin.dll
- If you did the processes in full, the installation should have finished successfully. If you received an error from the command line, you don't need to be anxious. Even if the Cygwin.dll library was installed successfully, you can still receive error messages like these due to some incompatibilities. In order to test whether your dll issue was fixed or not, try running the program giving the error message again. If the error is continuing, try the 2nd Method to fix this issue.
