Error message for ysiget makes no sense

Nov 12, 2005 11:19AM PST

I just switched from Windows2000 to WindowsXP. Now
YSIget download manager does not work anymore. Here's the link and the error message I get.

LINK-Download YSIGet v0.99c http://s36.yousendit.com/dmanagers.aspx

ERROR MSG- YSIGet.exe - Unable to locate component (Big X in a red button)
This application has failed to start because YSIGet.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.

But in C;\Program Files\YSIGet there is a file named YSIGet.dll with a picture of a green and an orange gear on it.
So how do I tell it to find YSIGet.dll?

And I'm tired of reistalling/restarting etc. Been doing that all day. (can't locate orig post).

Maybe you should try File Splitter. It sounds like this program will do what you are looking for


Hope this helps.

YSIGet won't

Well I have several file splitting programs already and their presence has not helped Windows recognize YSIget.dll.
But if installing a splitter program will make ysiget work I'll do it.

U can try Download Accelerator Plus (DAP). It is a good download accelerator.

Could be a number of things but...

for a dll sometimes you can solve the problem simply by placing a COPY OF THE FILE (YSIGet.dll in your case) in the System32 Folder which is definitely within the Environment's Path.

Give it a try.

1. To ensure the PATH environmental variable includes the %SystemRoot%\System32\WBEM (Web Based Enterprise Management) folder:

? Right-click My Computer, and then click Properties.

? On the Advanced tab, click Environment Variables.

? Under System Variables double-click the PATH environment variable.

Note: If no PATH is listed, click New. In the Variable name box, type Path. Type or paste the bolded line next into the box labeled Variable value. Then skip to the very last item below and click the OKs.

? Type the following and then press ENTER, and if other system variables appear, do not remove them:

%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\system32\WBEM

? Click OK each time you have the option.

2. Does the applicable DLL file need compressing?

Note: Check the i386 folder (path may be similar to: C:\Documents and Settings\UserName\FolderName\i386) to see if the last "L" of the applicable DLL file is an underline:

a. Click Start, and then click Run.

b. In the Open box, type the command similar to the following by replacing the "xxxxx" with the correct filename, ensuring the correct path, and then press ENTER:

Expand "C:\Documents and Settings\UserName\FolderName\i386\xxxxx.dl_" "C:\Documents and Settings\UserName\FolderName\i386\xxxxx.dll"

c. In Windows Explorer, copy xxxxx.dll from the i386 folder to the C:\Windows\System32 folder.

Note: Your particular folder may be named something other than "Windows."

d. Click Start, and then click Run.

e. In the Open box, type regsvr32 xxxxx.dll, and then click OK.

f. When you receive the following message, click OK:

DllRegisterServer in xxxxx.dll succeeded.

3. Where does the applicable "xxxxx.DLL" file exist? See if copying that file from where ever it exists to the location indicated in #2c above to see if the situation is corrected.

4. When you view the "Files Stored on This Computer" heading in My Computer, is the "Shared Documents Folders" missing for any user, [Q319825]?

5. If you have for any reason experienced problems or anomalies using a particular Profile, consider that profile as damaged and create another, [Q326688].

6. Depending on the applicable DLL file involved and the overall system situation, you could start your computer from the Windows CD, and perform an in-place upgrade (Reinstallation, which does not mean using an "OEM Restoration" disk), [Q315341].
