"The application has failed to start because ASL.dll was not found. Re-installing application may fix problem"

This appeared when I tried to click on updates in iTunes. What does it mean? What is a dll? Is this a function of the operating system (which is why I posted here) or is it something else?

ThanksHello, jonnyD

iTunes 9.1. If you have upgraded to iTunes 9.1, several programs will start giving you an error that ASL.dll is missing.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What you can do:

GO to Start

Go to Control Panel

Go to Add/Remove Programs

Navigate to Itunes and uninstall it.

Then re-install it. http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/

If this does not work then this might solve the problem

This problem also occurs while trying to jailbreak iPhone using Blackra1n, when running the executable will give you an error saying that ASL.dll is missing.

The solution for this is simple, you will need to place the Blackra1n executables in the Apple folder under Common files in Program Files. The folder would be located in the following locations:

32 Bit – C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support

64 Bit – C:\Program Files (X86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support

For legal assumptions/issues & or comments.

It is legal to jailbreak an iPhone. Since the DMCA has made the rule.

Q: What does it mean?

A: It means that it cannot work because it does not have the file it needs to make it work correctly or at all.

Q: What is a dll?

A: A DLL is a Dynamic-Link Library. It is a file of FUNCTIONS, compiled, linked, and saved separately from the processes that use them. Functions in DLLs can be used by more than one running PROCESS. The operating system maps the DLLs into the process's address space when the process is started up or while it is running. Dynamic link libraries are stored in files with the DLL file extension.

Q: Is this function of the operating system (which is why i posted here) or is it something else?

A: I do not know if it is a function of the operating system. It COULD be or it could be a function to something else.
