missing file muweb.dll Amelox 13.07.2007 03:12:01 Hi, I had to reload VISTA Ultimate and now I get the message \system32\muweb.dll is missing after clicking on the Microsoft Update button. It should have been on the OS CD? How can I get it and what else might be missing? Special precautions for inserting/activating it? Please be specific. Thanks.

Re: missing file muweb.dll "dean-dean" <dean-dean[ at ]discussions.microsoft.com> 13.07.2007 04:34:38 Muweb.dll is not a file installed with Vista (or XP, for that matter), by default. You have to visit the Microsoft Update website to download the ActiveX control. That will install muweb.dll. Your shortcut probably has "C:\WINDOWS\system32\rundll32.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\muweb.dll,LaunchMUSite" as the target, which is why you are getting the error. When you reinstalled Vista, the shortcut became invalid. It will work once you go to the Microsoft Update website (not to be confused with Windows Update), and restall the software. Go here, http://www.update.microsoft.com/microsoftupdate/v6/vistadefault.aspx?ln=en-us check "I accept the Terms of Use", and click on Install.

Re: missing file muweb.dll Amelox 13.07.2007 05:32:01 Hi Dean, thanks for the reply. With VISTA many things have changed and Microsoft should be aware of those. I suggest that you always try it yourself first. Your URL sends me to a page that implies to have a Start button -- but does NOT -- and then says to click on that same Microsoft Update button that gives the error message. Result: We are going in circles. I need to go to the MS Update panel that allows me to install that missing DLL. Your method does not do that. Please try again. Thanks.
