Attack Of The .dll's!!!!

ok so im installin Hl and everythings good and then I get this BS that says : Steam.exe(main exception):Unable to load library SteamUI.Dll . well I get the file and it still doesn't work anyone willin to help me?

 

Try this:

1. Hit windows key + r (or click Start --> Run)
2. In the 'Run' dialog, type 'regsvr32 pathtoSteamUI.Dll' (without the quotes)
3. Hit enter (or click the 'OK' button)

You'll have to substitute the file path for this .DLL where you see pathtoSteamUI.Dll. This will register the .DLL in the registry. It's not always enough to drop it into the correct folder.

 

welll i did that and it says it cant find the .dll and I have the .dll unless there are other versions of the .dll so..........what now?

 

And the file IS at the path you specified in the command?

Ergh... it may be an older version. You might be best simply re-installing steam. That way, you get known good copies, all at expected version levels.

 

I just wanna play the damn game I dont wanna get new version of steam and if I uninstall steam it uninstalls Half life

 

Stupid question but I have to ask. Are you online when you open steam? usually this file is automatically updated and installed when it is missing.

This below fix is usually for people who get the error "unverified steam ticket error" but involves deleting that .dll Try deleteing the following 3 files (make sure steam is closed first) This will then update steam and replace the missing files after logging back into steam. Read the toptip in step 5 before deleting the files.

1) Close Steam
2) Map to your STEAM folder most likely for most people to be C:\program files\Valve\steam.
3) Delete the 3 following files only:- Steam.dll (not the .exe), SteamUI.dll (already missing for you) and ClientRegistry.blob.
4) Restart STEAM, this will now update and replace the files you have deleted.
5) Enter your username and password when prompted and you are good to go. TOPTIP: If you are unsure of your password, change it before doing the above. This can be changed in STEAM through Settings - Account - Change Password.

If this doesnt work then a very likely reinstalling is going to be the only way, and I share that pain to.

 

ummm yeah about steam it wont work either all it gives me is Steam.exe(main exception):Unable to load library SteamUI.dll .and well I have ALL of the .dll's and I've tried directing the registry to the .dll so it'll recognize its there and well that didnt work so, yeah.Steam wont work,HL wont, and team fortress wont because of the stupid SteamUI.dll wont read or somethin
