How to install DLL files on Windows?

There are two ways by which you can install DLL files on your Windows PC.

Method 1: Manually install DLL on Windows System Folder and Register the DLL.

Note: The steps are slightly different for Windows 32 Bit and 64 Bit. Most modern Windows systems run on 64 Bit architecture. If you are unsure, follow the steps for 64 Bit.

  1. Download the DLL from this site to your Windows computer. The file will download as a zip file. Extract it to get the dll file.
  2. Copy the DLL file to the Windows System folder. The location of the system directory depends on the DLL file architecture and your OS architecture:
    • For 64-bit Windows, the 64-bit DLL files should be copied to the C:\Windows\System32\ directory and the 32-bit DLL files should be copied to the C:\Windows\SysWOW64\ folder.
    • For 32-bit Windows, the file should be copied to the C:\Windows\System32\ folder.
  3. Next, search for Command Prompt on your computer > Right Click > select Run as administrator.
  4. Execute this command: regsvr32 filename.dll
    • If registering 32-bit DLL on a 64-bit Windows, then enter the following command instead: regsvr32 c:\windows\syswow64\filename.dll
  5. Restart your computer.

Try to relaunch the software or game and see if the issue is fixed. If not, proceed to read the next section.

Method 2: Manually install the DLL file on application or game folder

Sometimes, you may need to place the dll file in the folder of the game or application that it is a part of. 

  1. Download the DLL file from this site to your Windows system and have it ready. The file will download as a zip file. Extract it to get the dll file.
  2. Quit the software or game that the gpsvc.dll file is part of. Make sure it is not even running in the background.
  3. Copy the gpsvc.dll file and go to the folder where the game or application is installed on your Windows.
  4. Paste the gpsvc.dll.
  5. Reboot your Windows machine.

Try to open the game or application that requires the gpsvc.dll file and see if the issue is fixed.
