Can't run the Control Panel Add/Remove Programs applet

Can't  run the Control Panel Add/Remove Programs applet

 The Control Panel Add/Remove Programs applet might stop running if your system is

missing some required registry entries. To resolve this problem, you must add the

necessary entries to the registry by performing the following steps:

   1. Start a command session by going to Start, Run and typing

      cmd

   2. Enter each of the following commands (click OK to each

confirmation that appears):

      regsvr32 mshtml.dll

      regsvr32 shdocvw.dll -i

      regsvr32 shell32.dll -i

   3. Close the command session by typing

      exit

You should now be able to start the Add/Remove Programs applet. If the applet still

won't run, you might be missing a file; to check, use the system file checker (SFC) to

check for and replace missing or corrupt files by performing the following steps:

   1. Start a command session by going to Start, Run and typing

      cmd

   2. Enter each of the following commands (the system might prompt

you to enter the installation media during this process):

      sfc /purgecache

      sfc /scannow

   3. Restart the computer.
