IERTUTIL.DLL: Internet Explorer Utility File

Unfortunately, there is no program that does not have at least one bug in it. Human beings are only human, after all, and prone to make mistakes. With the beta version of IE 7, some users may have experienced problems when installing the program. This may also have happened for anyone who attempts to uninstall IE7 by any other method than Add/Remove Programs.

If you received the error “Iertutil.dll file not found”, this is because somehow the file, which is used by a number of programs and not just IE, has been either deleted or corrupted. The only way to fix this is to either 1) reinstall IE7 or 2) manually re-insert the file back into where it belongs.

If you need to re-install the program, revisit the Microsoft website: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/downloads/ie/getitnow.mspx and follow the appropriate directions to install Internet Explorer 7.
If you want to try uploading the file itself, be very careful where you get the file from. Many downloads on the internet today have viruses in them that can damage your computer. Always run your anti-virus before opening any file. If you can, get it from the Microsoft website for maximum security. Try: http://www.dll-files.com/dllindex/dll-files.shtml?iertutil and download the file.

Once the file is downloaded, follow the appropriate instructions. If installing for another program, try to verify which program needs the file first.

Keep in mind that sometimes installing a third-party program may also cause your iertutil.dll file to have problems. Be cautious which program you download onto your computer and keep your anti-virus updated and scanning regularly.
