How to Rename MSI.dll


1. Click 'Start' and type 'CMD' in the 'Search' box.
2. Right-click 'CMD' from the search results list and click 'Run as Administrator.' Click 'Yes' on the 'User Account Control' dialog box. This will launch the Windows Command Prompt with administrative privileges.
3. Type 'Msiexec /unregister' and then press the 'Enter' key. This will remove the Windows Installer Utility from memory.
4. Type 'CD C:\Windows\System32' and press the 'Enter' key. This changes the Command Prompt directory to 'System32.' The System32 directory houses the Windows Installer engine.
5. Type 'Rename msi.dll msi.dll.bak' and then press the 'Enter' key. This will rename the MSI resource file using the backup extension (BAK).
6. Restart your computer.
