You should either close the running program from Task Manager …as once the dll is loaded it can not be replaced as it is already running …
If that doesn’t help you can restart the laptop and then try the method as after restarting the said program won’t be running
Hope it helps
Hello admin.
I used the manual method but while replacing the dll files, the error ” the action cannot be done because a file or folder is open in another program”, comes up. What should I do?
Thank Dr.
I am requesting you to advise me on how to identify those files that relate to the resolution of this error because their names look different in the task manager.
you will need to tell the file name you received in the popup as shown in the post
Alright sir. Thank u.
