Hi,

I had a problem where a game wouldn't load and I was giving a .dll package of common files I should have in my System32 and Syswow64 folder.

When I try to copy them in I get the "you don't have permissions" error. I right click the folder and in advanced enabled sharing but now I am getting an "this file or folder is in use" error.

I have tried doing this in safe mode and still same result. I am the only user on this PC so I should be set as the administrator.

Is there any other way I can get these files copied into the two folders?

Thanks
 
Tried it but no result..

I was told to try installing XNA Framework 4.0 and that seemed to load the game. I have just done a fresh install of Windows 10, is there any other software from Microsoft I should install except .NET, XNA and DirectX?
 
Thanks for the replies, the game in question was Salt & Sanctuary.. as stated XNA seemed to run it but I will install the others mentioned and will keep in mind the CMD prompt method :)
