Title: ws2_32.dll Missing
Post by: mondaiji on October 29, 2015, 09:44:37 PM

Hi,
Has anyone had any issues with "ws2_32.dll Missing" error? I am running Win XP 64.

I haven't had a chance to download the dll and just drop it in as yet. I was wondering if there was a specific package I should ensure I have installed. Is this DLL part of Windows Terminal Server?

Thanks.

Do you have installed spybot search&destroy? Download the dll-file (http://download.dll-files.com/428af7fa03ff09ce1cd373abfebad8a3/ws2_32.zip?0XGiOGXLfU) & copy to c:\windows\system32

No, I do not have spybot search & destroy installed.

My memory was a little off when I typed the error message as the subject. I am back in front of the machine in question and ws2_32.dll is located in WINDOWS\system32 and WINDOWS\SysWOW64. The files are different sizes.

The error message is:

attract.exe - Entry Point Not Found
The procedure entry point inet_pton could not bee located in the dynamic link library WS2_32.dll

Downloading the DLL file and replacing the original produced the same error message.

My work around was to install the 32-bit version of attract-mode.
