All of the sudden I can't uninstall programs due to that the Ctor.dll file is missing from is directory (C:\PROGRA~2\COMMON~1\INSTAL~1\PROFES~1\RunTime\10\50\Intel32\Ctor.dll).

Anyone knows what I can do to solve this problem?

(Running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit)
Trying is the first step to failure.

Some dll errors can be related to a virus or other malware infection so be sure to check your system.

run command prompt as admin and paste sfc /scannow
that should run system file checker if the file checker repairs the file/'s reboot

I did both do the complete deep scan (no virus or malware) and did also run sfc /scannow. The problem is still commencing.

Hmm download ccleaner and clean your registry and rerun sfc /scannow.

If you still encounter the problem try a system restore if you have a restore point.
Otherwise try and repair your installation of windows by booting from the windows dvd.

You could download the dll from the internet but you never know what you are going to get then.

TastyBeef1 if you would like a good answer, please give us a detailed description of exactly what you are trying to do (what you are trying to uninstall, how you are doing it, how many things you've tried to uninstall, etc.) as well as either a screen capture or the full text of the error.

DarkEnergy, a registry error likely has nothing to do with it. When a program installs it leaves behind certain files from the installer that are required to modify or remove the installation. Could be that one of those is missing. Could also be a file for Windows installer or Install sheild is missing or corrupt. Some of the other things you suggested may fix the issue (the windows repair for example) but it's tough to say exactly what would fix the issue since we don't really know what he's trying to do. May even be an easier fix than that (for example reinstalling installsheild)
I like the way the walls go out. Gives you an open feeling. Firefly's a good design. People don't appreciate the substance of things. Objects in space. People miss out on what's solid.

Delete the folder C:\Program Files\Common Files\InstallShield\Professional\RunTime\10\50 from the machine.

Download InstallShieldEngineUpdate1050.exe.

Once downloaded, double-click it. This installs the InstallShield engine for this version of the installation.

Did you not even Google?

The TL admins are all so cranky...

Of course I used google. That's why I even tried sfc /scannow in the first place!
