Windows Forum / Windows XP / Remote Desktop / September 2007Problem with iertutil.dll after installing new RDP client
I installed the newest Remote Desktop Client from Microsoft into my XP-Pro SP2 PC in order to be able to use remote desktop to Vista machines and also to make it possible to use larger screen sizes. But now whenever I start the Remote Desktop it pops up an error box with the text: "This application has failed to start because iertutil.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem." After clicking the OK button the RDP connect dialog is showed normally. Why is this happening and what can I do to stop it? I have InternetExplorer 6 (not IE7) installed but I don't use it (I am a Firefox user). It seems like this dll is some part of IE7??? Why is it needed by Remote Desktop Client?

I already googled and found the link to the download of the dll: http://www.dll-files.com/dllindex/dll-files.shtml?iertutil However, when I put this in my system32 dir then there is another error box popping up saying something like "entrypoint 16 missing" or similar. Not much better i.m.h.o. I am now home where I have a XP-Pro SP1 PC which has IE7 installed and this has also the ierutil.dll in system32, so I will try and copy that dll over to the laptop and see what happens. It is version ..6000... where the downloaded one was ...5460.. or similar.

It is version ..6000... >where the downloaded one was ...5460.. or similar. OK, now I have tested with the dll from my home PC... iertutil.dll version 7.0.6000.16512 is what I now have and it works. The download link points to a version 7.0.5450.4 and it *does not* work. How anyone who has not installed IE7 will be able to get it I don't know... Bo Berglund bo.berglund(at)nospam.telia.com >>>You might check some of these pages for possible help. >>> [quoted text clipped - 26 lines] > Bo Berglund > bo.berglund(at)nospam.telia.com Well, I just looked at my wife's XP Pro SP2 machine that has the RDP 6.0 client on it and there is not an iertutil.dll file on the machine. That machine does *NOT* have IE7 installed either so I really don't believe its a Remote Desktop issue.

But then why did this happen: - I tried to use my old RDP client to create a session with 1920x1200 resolution. Did not work, maxed out at 1600 x pixels - So I downloaded and installed the newest RDP client from Microsoft. - Then I started it to try it out and I got this error message about the dll. From then on I was getting the message for *each* start of the RDP client. Continuing past the message made it work, seemingly flawlessly. Including givin me the full screen support. :-) So apparently it is not *really* needed but for some unknown reason RDP is still looking for it... Until today when I could grab the dll from my desktop PC and put it on the laptop, whereupon the message disappeared. I have not seen this message from any other application either, so to me it seems rather clear that RDP Client tries to use the dll but failing to find it it just happily continues. Why?
