Problem with PackDLL.dll

wixxus wrote: »

Ugh, this is an old thread, but, meh.

I am using a ProBook6460b I got from school. They made tons of things inaccessible, the antivirus in particular, the antivirus is called Trend Micro OfficeScan. This antivirus is REALLY bad, I've noticed it quarantines loads of harmless files and such, this pisses me off really bad. This so called antivirus has quarantined PackDLL.dll and I can't do anything about it. The antivirus is password protected, so I can't uninstall it or anything. ALL of the important files are protected and I just get a popup saying "Access denied." whenever I try to, for example, change a configuration file so that I can uninstall this piece of trash.

I have no idea what to do about this... PackDLL.dll gets quarantined all the time and I can't do anything about this myself... so I'd really appreciate some help with this. Thanks

All you can do is do a bit research work on how to do add the game files on your anti-virus exception and execute it by urself or just completely disable to it and then download the game again update it login and play.

I am using one of the top anti-viruses in the world and if it says packdll.dll is a virus then its a virus. plain and simple.

As for PWI spreading viruses. I expected more from them. They want to claim its the way it has to be and the anti-virus is the issues because PWI cant seen program without using virus exploits.

If PWI doesnt get smart about not using virus activity and learn how to program then the files the games uses will be listed as threat files and blocked on more anti-viruses.

Most people dont "play around" when it comes to viruses.


You are all dumb if you stopped blocking this file. Its funny how so many years PWI has never had this problem and just one day wow. They make a claim that all the top anti-viruses are the issue.

PWI I trust my anti-virus company more than an MMO.

Good luck fooling noobs PWI.

LOL with how dumb you can be.

If you did your research, you would find that the "virus" is actually a call to the server for information. Because the client is speaking to a proprietary Linux database both created around 2004, the call command is very similar to an old macro virus. Your antiviruses heuristic scan mistakenly identifies this call as a virus and flags it.

It's a false positive. False positives are common even with the top antiviruses, and with some they are so prevelant that the "top antivirus" software actually gets a reduced rating now. (Which is why Kaspersky is no longer at the top of the charts, and BitDefender took it's place.)

For that matter, I could put a similar request into an installer that tells your computer to format your primary hard disk, even though it's currently in use, and your "top antivirus" will never flag it.

this time with the torrent version. no luck. still getting the same "missing packdll.dll" message. so i downloaded the packdll and put it in my 'patcher' folder and i get a new message saying that it cant locate 'dynamic link FillPackVersion'. i have no idea what to do after this.

I've been having the same problem. My school gives out computers and with that we get Sophos Protection, when i try to download the game it says missing PackDLL.dll. I've tried going through the suggestions of this thread but it wont let me do anything since the virus protection is school controlled and not controlled by us. Can't add an exception, no nothing. Any ideas?

Have a friend download and install the client. Copy the game directory to a 8GB+ Flash drive. Run the game from the flash drive and pray that Sophos isn't set to scan inserted media.

OR, contact the school support and see if they will add the exceptions for you. (not likely though)

The file may be there, but locked by your antivirus. Going to need more detail on what you've tried.

ive downloaded pwi sirens at war but it wont open just gives me a notepad saying autorun open something or another... and when i go to the sight it keeps telling me to download it again...?

If you get perfect world PackDLL.dll DLL error, do the following to fix

Set your AV software to not scan the following folder

For 64 Bit Versions of Windows:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Perfect World Entertainment\Perfect World International\

For 32 Bit Versions of Windows:

C:\Program Files\Perfect World Entertainment\Perfect World International\

Then run the following batch file to replace the missing dll

For 64 Bit Windows:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Perfect World Entertainment\Perfect World International\launcher\fixit.bat

For 32 Bit Windows:

C:\Program Files\Perfect World Entertainment\Perfect World International\launcher\fixit.bat

Enjoy Perfect World

To restore the packdll.dll that your virus program has blocked or removed find the Fixit batch file within Perfect world /Launcher, doubleclick on the file it will restore the Packdll.dll if your virus program pops up and sais it has deleted the file click on the allow option to ignore it.

Ok so i got the same thing the P.ddl or whatever was blocked so my launcher would not start, so i tryed to delete all the program files and reinstall the entire game as if i never had it. Well after the install, notepad opens up sayin, autorun blah blah, so the instilation wont finish what did i do wrong?? Thank you

*sigh* Like it's been stated hundreds of times, and you would have found by searching something as simple as "autorun*..... Go to the folder the client installer downloaded to and run install.exe.

If that is beyond you, give up and stick to browser games.

Hi, I tried to login also not too long ago and got the same PackDll.dll is missing from your computer popup, let me just say before this the game had been working great, until now. I've read many things on how to try to fix it but i cant seem to do it. I looked at my antivirus software and it has put the file under quarintine for virus infection not Trojan. I reinstalled the game twice now trying different ways to try to ignore the file but it just puts the file back under quarintine even if i get a whole new PackDll.dll, Please help me, I have no idea what to do. Thank you (P.S. the fixit thing above doesn't work for me)

just go to the launcher directory (there you'll find the DLL) and doubleclick the fixit batchfile.

yeah, noticed it myself.

necro time while servers down

Any thread over one month (30 days) old is considered to be a dead thread and you're not supposed to post in them. The person you are replying to probably doesn't care any more or can no longer be found on the forums. The topic itself could be out of date. Next time just make a new thread.

Let's see how long it takes for a mod to close this
