Hi @Anonymous and welcome to the community!

This missing dll can cause issues in a variety of programs so I pulled these steps from a Microsoft rep:

You can try following steps and check if it helps

Step 1: Launch program in clean boot state.

Step 2: Re-register mfc110.dll file.

1. Click the start option.
2. Click run
3. Copy regsvr32 "C:\Windows\System32\mfc110.dll" into the run field
4. Click the OK Button

If you followed the steps correctly the .dll file should be registered and you should recieve a confirmation.

Step 3: Perform sfc scan and check for corrupted files and integrity violations.

After the reset completes, run an SFC Scan (The instructions are below):

Click 'Start' > Type cmd in the search field > Right-click the command prompt at the top of the list and select 'Run as Administrator'
Inside the command prompt, type sfc /scannow > Press 'Enter'

what do you mean by start option

[sean.heasley]

Hi @Anonymous

The start option is the button on the bottom left of your desktop. You can also press the windows key on your keyboard!

Let me know if you need any more assistance!

                                  The module C:\windows\system32\mfc110.dll failed to load

                                  Make sure binary is stored at the specified path or debug it to check for problems with the binary or dependent .DLL files

The Module C:\windows\system32\mfc110.dll failed to load 

Make sure binary is stored at the specified path or debug it to check for problems with the binary or dependent .DDL files

The specified module could not be found

License was not obtained

tried Maya 2016 (657HI 2016.0.0.F), error 20

License Method

environment variable Maya_LICENSE='unlimited'

Now I'm not sure whats wrong here but i did get the student version for this just about a month ago so my 2 year use of this program should still be available.

Hi @Anonymous

Ah ok this issue has been common lately!

Microsoft has official steps to fix the dll issue that can be found here! I'll also post the steps below:

While in this example, the user is using Visual Studio, the same steps can be applied to Maya.

The Microsoft rep also mentions in step 4 how you need to perform an uninstall and re-install, you can find steps to do that for Maya here!

it gave me an error that said

The Module "C:\Windows\System32\mfc110.dll" was loaded but the entry-point DllRegisterServer was not found

Make sure that "C:\Windows\System32\mfc110.dll" is a valid DLL or OCX file and then try again

[sean.heasley]

Hi @Anonymous

That's unusual. I did some researching online for that error and found this thread from Microsoft that may help you! 

I'll post the steps from that thread below as well:

• Unregister or Register DLL or OCX files in Windows 7: 

The Regsvr32 tool is a command-line utility that can be used for registering and un-registering OLE controls like DLL and ActiveX (OCX) controls in the Windows operating system. If you find that some of your Windows functions are note working properly, you may need to register your dll files.

• Register dll file

To register a dll orocx file, open a command prompt windows as an administrator, type the following and hit Enter:

regsvr32 “path & filename of dll or ocx

• Unregister dll file

To un-register a dll or ocx file, open a command prompt windows as an administrator, type the following and hit Enter:

regsvr32 /u “path & filename of dll or ocx“

Note: This will register or unregister the
dllfile.

Please let me know if this solves your issue or if you need any more assistance!

[sean.heasley]

Hi @Anonymous

Sorry for the delay with the weekend!

Here are some steps from Microsoft on how to use and troubleshoot the Regsvr32 tool!

As for the desktop app, you'll want to perform a clean uninstall/reinstall and you'll also want to perform a clean uninstall/reinstall of Maya.

Please let me know if this helps resolve your issue or if you need any more assistance!
