- The advpack.dll, developed by Microsoft, allows Windows and programs to run .inf files and is a vital part of the OS.
- If the DLL is missing, it’s the corrupt system files or the incorrect environment variables to blame.
- To fix things, we would first recommend trying a dedicated DLL repair tool, but there are other solutions that, too, work.
XINSTALL BY CLICKING THE DOWNLOAD
FILE
If we look through the Windows directory, there would be hundreds of DLL files. Besides, many specific third-party programs are stored in dedicated folders. Remember, when a DLL is missing or corrupt, errors start appearing. And advpack.dll is a common troubling factor for users.
The error message with the advpack DLL usually reads, Error creating process <path>. Reason: Windows\System32\advpack.dll. Also, re-registering the DLL throws the message, Make sure that “advpack.dll” is a valid DLL or OCX file and then try again. So, let’s find out!
What is the use of Advpack DLL?
The advpack.dll is a critical file in Windows that facilitates the installation of programs by identifying and reading the .inf files. Published by Microsoft, the DLL plays a vital role, and even simple issues with it can trigger a range of errors.
Here are the primary reasons you get the advpack.dll error with DirectX:
How we test, review and rate?
We have worked for the past 6 months on building a new review system on how we produce content. Using it, we have subsequently redone most of our articles to provide actual hands-on expertise on the guides we made.
For more details you can read how we test, review, and rate at WindowsReport.
- Corrupt system files: One of the most common reasons, corrupt system files are often responsible when you get a DLL not found error.
- Malware infection: A system infected with malware doesn’t perform effectively and will keep throwing errors randomly.
- Missing redistributable packages: Some users reported that advpack.dll went missing after uninstalling Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable packages, and reinstalling it did the trick.
What can I do if advpack.dll is missing?
Before we head to the slightly complex solutions, here are a few quick things to try:
- Check for pending Windows updates and install them.
- Make sure you are not installing a 64-bit program on a 32-bit version of Windows.
- Scan your PC for malware with the built-in Windows Security or use an effective antivirus.
- Copy the DLL to the System32 folder from another computer running the same OS.
If none work, move to the fixes listed next.
1. Use a dedicated DLL repair tool
When one of Microsoft’s DLLs is missing or throwing an error, you could go with the handful of built-in tools, but none guarantee results and users often have to fend for themselves. An ideal approach, in this case, is to use a DLL repair tool.
We recommend a tool with an extensive database hosting almost every DLL published to date. And the best part, the process to download advpack.dll is seamless and doesn’t take long.
2. Run the DISM and SFC scan
- Press Windows + R to open Run, type cmd, and hit Ctrl + Shift + Enter.
- Click Yes in the UAC prompt.
- Now, paste the following DISM commands individually and hit Enter after each:
DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth
DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth
DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
- Once done, execute this command for the SFC scan:
sfc /scannow
- Finally, restart the computer for the changes to come into effect.
3. Download Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributables
Since the advpack.dll is linked to MSVC, missing or deleted Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributables can also trigger the error when installing or updating DirectX in Windows.
When faced with the situation, head to Microsoft’s dedicated webpage and download the latest redistributable packages. Make sure to get every package for a specific version to be sure, and install them. Once done, check whether the advpack.dll update error disappears.

- Fix: Monitor is Stuck at 60Hz on Windows 11
- Fix: EXCEPTION_ILLEGAL_INSTRUCTION Error on Windows 11
4. Change environment variables
- Press Windows + S to open Search, type View advanced system settings in the text field, and click on the relevant search result.
- Click on Environment Variables.
- Select the Temp entry, and click on Edit.
- Enter the following value in the Variable value field, and click OK:
C:\Temp
- Make similar changes to the TMP variable, and click OK to save the changes.
When the environment variables are misconfigured, you may come across the advpack.dll Error creating process message while installing programs in Windows. And reconfiguring them should instantly get things running.
5. Perform an in-place upgrade
- Go to Microsoft’s official website, select your edition of Windows, and click on Download.
- Now, choose the product language from the dropdown menu, and click Confirm.
- Click on the link that appears to start downloading the Windows 11 ISO.
- Once done, double-click on the file and click Open to confirm.
- Launch the setup.exe file.
- Click on Next to proceed.
- Click Agree to accept Microsoft’s license terms.
- Finally, verify that the setup reads Keep personal files and apps, and then click on Install.
When nothing else works, the last option is to perform an in-place upgrade to eliminate the advpack.dll error in Internet Explorer and all other programs. Though the process takes a few hours, the personal files and installed apps remain unaffected.
And before you leave, do not forget to check our curated list of the best DLL repair tools to fix such errors with ease in the future.

Not sure if this is where to put this question but I can’t find anything else on these forums (shrug?). I’m trying to install the 2.0 redistribution package and get an error with c:\windows\system32\advpack.dll when trying to install. Any suggestions?
The reason I’m looking to install it is because I have an application that requires it. Maybe I actually need something different? Ugh. lol

carzylady,
Can you try the following:
Save the .NET Framework setup on your local drive
Extract the package by executing the following:
run the following command with the EXE that was extracted
dotnetfx.exe /cYou will be prompted, and go ahead and enter a path to extract the files.
such as c:\dotnetfxThen go that that location and launch install.exe
Let me know at what point you see failures.
Thanks,
-
awong,
Can you try the instruction above provided to crazylady? The package name for 64 bit will be NetFx64.exe. Download it and run it with the /c command to extract it.
Are you using an AMD64 or Intel64 machine?
Thanks,
-
Please help,
RobF did what u told me i ran:
«netfx64.exe/c» as an argument to the ‘install’ file,
I get the install.exe is not a valid Win32 application.
Can you help me

Hello,
Might be a silly question, but… NTFS is what type of OS?? I still get eh same problem when trying to install the x64 version and gthe link you provide is x86. Neither of these work, I get an error saying I need a higher version of .NET when I use the x86. Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you
-
Thank you so much, it worked after I extracted the files!

1. Remove advpack.dll (use Unlocker if it says the file is in use)
2. Place the advpack.dll from here in the spot of the old advpack.dll which you have just removed.
-
The reason I’m looking to install it is because I have an application that requires it. Maybe I actually need something different? Ugh. lol

Would this fix apply to the following error message:
Error creating process <C:\DOCUME~1\jsmith\Local Settings\Temp\IXP000.TMP\Bootstrapper_en_us.exe
Reason: C:\WINDOWS\System32\advpack.dllThank you
-
Did you install the windows xp 64 bit version or the windows 32 bit version?
If your trying to install a 64bit driver on 32 bit win xp you will get this message.
Solution: If your running on a 64 bit processor, install the 64 bit windows xp.

I have been all over the net trying to find a way to reinstall Net Framework 2.0 because I stupidly tried to install it before installing the redistributable pack. They keep telling me to delete advpack.dll and then try to reinstall Net Framework 2.0. I have had prior experience with dll’s and it was messy. I don’t want to delete a dll unless I have to. Is it safe to delete this dll? And can it be safely reinstalled once I have deleted it? I would really like to know. Will Internet Explorer 7 automatically include Net Framework 2.0? And if it does will it fix my mistake? Please let me know. By the way, my operating system is Win XP Pro. service pack 2 with 32 bit P4 processor.

how do you know what bit your OS is?

I had the same problem described in prior posts on this thread:
Error creating process <C:\DOCUME~1\jsmith\Local Settings\Temp\IXP000.TMP\install.exe
Reason: C:\WINDOWS\System32\advpack.dllI got around it with the trick described in a later post (netffx64.exe
/c), but when I tried to run the install exe, nothing happened; the msi
file ran, but gave an error message about being incompatible with my
machine. I have Windows XP service pack 1 (when I tried to installservice pack 2,
I got stuck in a loop on reboot [boot up partway, shut down, boot up
partway, etc.]) and had to remove it) with an AMD Athlon 64 p646 bit
processor, which should be compatible with netfix64.exe . any ideas?
-
How can I tell if i have the 32 or 64 bit OS, because I too cannot install the Microsoft.Net Framework. I looked at the computer properties, but it just says XP Professional.
Thanks

From command line I entered:
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents>netFx64.exe /c
Asked for location …. using the browser I directed installer to the .net folder.
The install completed without error.

I took the deep plunge. I repaired my Windows. Needless to say that when I tried to reinstall Net Framework 2 SDK it still didn’t work. It gave me the same error. Microsoft has no better suggestions. I guess I will have to buy a new hard drive and start all over again. Or I guess I will wait until Windows Vista comes out. This is so aggravating.

Hi,
I am using windows server 2003.
Using NetFx64.exe /c command I have extracted the files.
When I click on ‘install.exe’ I am getting the following error eventhough I have logged in as the ‘administrator’.
‘windows cannot access the specified device,path,or file. you may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item.’
Please help.
Thanks and Regards,

how do i get this program to download on my system, for i require advpack.dll in order for me to complete the program to run properly, so where do i find it?
-
Sorry, I dont really understand all of that.
I’ve got a 32 bit thingumujiggy.
I’ve downloaded the net framework and saved it but thats where my understanding ends

When i analyzed i found out that i was trying to install 64 bit framework on 32 bit machine. Installed x86 setup instead of x64, worked fine for me.

How did you find out whether your PC was a 64 bit or 32 bit? No one has answered that question yet! Thanks.

I am running Vista. I have exactly the same problems as all the people in this thread — and I can’t run the program with the /c parameter (not even sure how to do it within Vista, it won’t run from the command prompt even though I am trying it from the directory where the program is installed).
I have downloaded the dll from the link provided — I checked and there is actually one in the correct directory and it is 122kb (it came installed with the machine) and the new one I’ve just downloaded is 98kb. However, even though I am the Administrator, Vista just WON’T LET ME put the new one in the \system32 directory!!!!!! Nor will it let me delete or rename the old one!
This is sooooo frustrating.
Help!

I am having the same block occuring to me I tried the crazy lady thing and I still get the same message. I am using windows XP on a pc emmulator on my Mac. I do not have the .net 2.0 framework or earlier additions on the c drive oranywhere and I can not get it to install.
-
As my colleague found, here is what is causing it.
Sometimes the installer cannot write into your user’s %TEMP% directory.
So, what you need to do is to create, for example, a temp directory «C:\Temp\» on your C drive and then change the value of the %TEMP% environment variable to this directory path. After that you can run the installer and everything should be fine. At least it was for me.

You Rock! I couldn’t install service pack 3 for Office 2003 but this worked!

kinda frustating….I’m so sorry about everything. I was trying to put some of my update files in an archive state so to speak and i ended up deleting them instead
-
As others already suggested, I first extracted a set of .NET 2.0 SDK installation files from the «setup.exe».
step 1. Open a command prompt.
step 2. Go to the folder where you have downloaded the «setup.exe».
step 3. Type setup.exe /c. It will ask you where to extract.
step 4. Create a temporary folder and specify it. The installation package will be extracted there.
step 5. Open the temporary folder by Windows Explorer. Double-click «install.exe» there.
These steps gave me successful result. Hope it work for you, too.

Ok, now i notice the 64 bit system seems required to for most of this, so lets look at an overview type question.
I am building (mostly on a 32 bit machine) for a 64 bit machine. In a particular instance i need to make a full 64 bit .net assembly. Since the redistributable package will not run on the 32 bit machine, i am guessing i need to move to a 64 bit to
complete this process for the instance? It would seem to me that since code is being handled, you code write code that would not run on the local machine, but wouldn’t be the first time i was wrong.It seems the goal is the thing to notice over the immediate issue.

Oops, didn’t mean to propose an existing message as an answer, I meant to say I found an answer. This seems to be an old problem, but for those of us that cannot afford to keep up with technology and are still running windows 2000 on older machines
it still happens, happened to me today when trying to install Directx 9. Searched all over the place for a solution but couldn’t find one that worked. Had an idea, search for a much older version of Directx 9 which I needed to fix the error I was
getting on another program I wanted to install. I found the file «directx_aug2008_redist» on the microsoft site, downloaded it, installed it, and my error creating process <C:/DOCUME~1/UserName/LOCALS~1/Temp/IXP000.TMP/dxwsetup.exe> error
went away. Another thing I discovered was the if you go to your temp directory while the error is on the screen before you hit ok you will see that the directory was created and the files were copied to it and dxwsetup.exe is there. If you try to then
run dxwsetup.exe from the temp directory you get an error that says (my OS is in Japanese and I can’t read all the kanji) something along the lines of it not being a win32 application (which was what prompted me to search for an older version 9). -
Thanks! that worked for me! I changed it to the «A:\» drive.

So I’m trying to play The Witcher 1 through steam but every time I try to launch it, it goes through its normal first time launch setup,
but then comes up with this error message:«Error creating process <C:\Users\(my name)\AppData\Local\Temp\IXP000.TMP\VCREDI~3.EXE>, Reason: C:\WINDOWS\System32\advpack.dll.
I’ve tried to run
«sfc /scannow» but it didn’t fix the issue, I tried replacing the dll, but I’m not sure which version I need to download. Every dll around it is version 10.0.17134.1 but I cannot find a download for advpack.dll of that version. Every
time I’ve tried it hasn’t fixed anything, trying to use «%windir%\System32\regsvr32.exe /u Advpack.dll» and «%windir%\SysWoW64\regsvr32.exe
/u Advpack.dll» has only come up with the error, «the module «advpack.dll» was loaded but the entry point DllUnregisterServer was not found. Make sure that «advpack.dll» is a valid dll or OCX file and then try again.»I have no idea where to go from here, any help would be appreciated
