Problem getting dbcdcontrol.dll installed

Question

I have the VBA code for a Macro that requires cddbcontrol.dll. I have downloaded cddbcontrol.dll and when I try to install it with regsvr32 I get a message saying that it was installed but the entry point could not be found. I have tried installing cddbcontrol.dll in both System32 and SysWOW64. I get the same error both places. I have run System File Checker and no errors were detected. I think that I have tried just about every solution listed on the web.

Answer 2

I am glad you are open to discuss this kind of problem.

Summing from your problem description, it seems that when you try to run the code with this library you get the "Class not registered error", and you try to register the DLL on your system with "regsvr32" command you get the "entry point could not be found" error.

My thought on your problem is:

It is being discussed that the class not registered error could be using the 32 bit of that DLL with 64 bit Office application in below community thread:

Class Not Registered - Microsoft Community

Which is clearly stated at:  Process Interoperability - Win32 apps | Microsoft Learn

 

So I would like to know where you got this code instruction could you confirm the DLL you are processing are 64bit. Because from my research those resource site referring the cddbcontrol as 32-bit library. Also in programming the context or the source of your code is important for

troubleshooting as that is where the limitation and requirement of the code you are using is stated.

I might not have the same level of programming specialty like you, feel free to post your thought at reply.

Answer 3

I have written a VBA Macro that manipulates a large batch of audio files. As part of the code I have included the 2 functions below. They fail with error "Class Not Registered" on the line Set id3Tag = CreateObject("cddbcontrol.cddbID3Tag"). I copied the functions from code that is posted on-line. The on-line example says that cddbcontrol.dll needs to be installed.

Public Function GetTagItem(ByVal Path As String, ByVal Item As TagItem) As String

Dim id3Tag As Object ' CDDBCONTROLLib.CddbID3Tag

Set id3Tag = CreateObject("cddbcontrol.CddbID3Tag")

id3Tag.LoadFromFile Path, True

Select Case Item

Case Album: GetTagItem = id3Tag.Album 

Case BeatsPerMinute: GetTagItem = id3Tag.BeatsPerMinute 

Case Comments: GetTagItem = id3Tag.Comments 

Case CopyrightHolder: GetTagItem = id3Tag.CopyrightHolder 

Case CopyrightYear: GetTagItem = id3Tag.CopyrightYear 

Case FileId: GetTagItem = id3Tag.FileId 

Case Genre: GetTagItem = id3Tag.Genre 

Case ISRC: GetTagItem = id3Tag.ISRC 

Case Label: GetTagItem = id3Tag.Label 

Case LeadArtist: GetTagItem = id3Tag.LeadArtist 

Case Movie: GetTagItem = id3Tag.Movie 

Case PartOfSet: GetTagItem = id3Tag.PartOfSet 

Case Title: GetTagItem = id3Tag.Title 

Case TrackPosition: GetTagItem = id3Tag.TrackPosition 

Case Year: GetTagItem = id3Tag.Year 

End Select

Set id3Tag = Nothing

End Function

Sorry that my initial answer does not offer you a proper help,and I accidently give you the solution you have tried. Could you give us more detail:

• How did you intergrate the dll file into your application?
• What VBA application did you develop?

Like the descriptiojn in: Access DLLs in Excel | Microsoft Learn. We need to know how did you manage to intergrate the dll so we could provide valid solution.

Answer 5

Hi, bsprice1003.

Welcome to Microsoft support community.

We noticed you are having problem with register dll file for programming usage.

However despite we are more than willing to help you. This might not be the best place for you to ask help if you are having issue with something more like a developer issue. We suggest you went to:VB - Microsoft Q&A.

Luckily, I do have some programming related knowledge that might give you a hand.

May I know:

• What article or entry trigger you to use the dll file, it is better to troubleshoot if we know the source which give you this code solution.

Here are some common method for you:

• System file checker

This is a common way for fixing corrupt system file. Some user report says it could fix dll file inconsistent too.

To run System File Checker (SFC), follow these steps:

1. In the search box on the taskbar, type command prompt, press and hold (or right-click) Command Prompt, then select Run as administrator > Yes.
2. At the command prompt, input below command line by line | > DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Scanhealth<br><br>> DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth<br><br>> DISM.exe /online /cleanup-image /startcomponentcleanup<br><br>> sfc /scannow | | --- | 3)If SFC finds corrupted files and replaces them, restart your PC and check if the issue persists. 

While I am not able to offer your help directly, hope your problem will get resolve smoothly there. Have a good day.
