Error when loading Windows Live Mail 2011 - [?Destroy@CDUIDialog@MAEXXZ] [UXCore.dll]

Question

When opening Windows Live Mail 2011 I receive the following message - "The procedure entry point ?Destroy@CDUIDialog@@MAEXXZ could not be located in the dynamic link library UXCore.dll"

The Title of the error dialog box is - "wlsettings.exe - Entry Point Not Found"

I would appreciate any help on eliminating this problem.

Answer 1

I had EXACTLT the same problem and found this fix.  It worked first time as I did have a duplicate UXCore.dll

THE SOLUTION TO: *"Windows Live Settings [WLSettings.exe] has stopped working"IS HERE:......It is attached as a Reply to the above post because to include it with that would have meant exceeding the maximum 3000 characters, and I couldn't edit the first post to the thread down...It would not have made sense!***** 

The Solution to this problem was provided by Forum Member !Firedog, and is contained in his response here extracted in full from the Hotmail Forum and the above thread;

***Quote:****This is the right forum, even though it could be regarded as an installation problem belonging inhttp://windowslivehelp.com/forums.aspx?forumid=a372972e-8e7a-4d85-adc3-a1b43e8c02ecbut of course you should re-post with an appropriate subject.*In the meantime, try this: in Windows Explorer (WinKey+E) navigate to %programfiles%\Windows Live. Once there, conduct a search for uxcore.dll. There may be more than one copy, in different folders. Because you're using a different OS from me, I can't be precise, but you should only have one copy, with version no. 15.4.3502.0922, in the Windows Live\Shared folder. Rename any others - for example in the Installer folder - to uxcore.old, reboot and test.

Answer 2

Find the folder called Windows Live\Installer in your 32-bit program files (that would be 'Program Files' on a 32-bit system or 'Program Files (x86)' on a 64-bit system). Rename the file uxcore.dll in that folder to uxcore.old, reboot and test.
