I have a dll file which encrypts a string, I am trying to use that in my php application. For that I came to know that I have to use COM component, For that I have placed the dll in C:windows/system32 directory and running the regsvr32 command but it is throwing error entry point not found also I try to do the same thing with sysWOW64 directory but facing the same problem.
I have questions in my mind that am I approaching correctly to my problem?

You don't find an entry point because the assembly is a library. Only executable assemblies have an entry point.

  • So, I have to rewrite the dll? – srikanta mondal Apr 23 '15 at 12:27
  • Absolutely not. Transform it into an executable, provide the entry point (`void main(args[] string)` method) and you should be good to go. [Read on MSDN about the main method](https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/acy3edy3.aspx). – pid Apr 23 '15 at 12:31
