Nero: This program requires the file advrcntr2.dll
After removing some infection, a customer could no longer run nero.
Every time you tried to start nero, it would generate the error: “this program requires the file advrcntr2.dll”. I tried to uninstall, then re-install nero, but that didn’t work.
I wasn’t sure if it would work, but I downloaded a nero uninstall tool, ran it, restarted the pc, then installed nero.
I was a bit surprised, but it actually worked.
I have been somewhat skeptical of the merits of specialised uninstall tools, but in some cases, they can save hours of time.
I’ve never been fond of the Nero products personally (and who thought up naming a product after a corrupt Roman caesar?)
The name is an obvious reference to the story about Nero “playing his fiddle while Rome was burning”… and the less obvious link to CD/DVD “burning” software.
