Helping people with computers... one answer at a time.
Marscore.dll appears in some error scenarios. Aside from running the system file checker, what to do isn't clear.
When I select "help and support" I get a warning: marscore.dll not found. What should I do?

My first approach would be to perform a system file check (See What is the system file checker and how do I run it? ). I've seen various references around about marscore.dll issues but no definitive answers. If that fixes your problem I'd love to hear about it.

Posted by: Edgar Saldana at August 1, 2006 12:21 PMTried all of the above but still unsolved...exact same issue...steps followed...
P.S. save yourself some command line work by going to the system32 folder and pasting a shortcut for the cmd.exe file into the task bar...tap on it to use.
1. Ran cmd and enter "net stop helpsvc"
2. Checked the following applications are not running: helpsvc.exe helphost.exe helpctr.exe
3. cd c:\windows\pchealth\helpctr\binaries
4. typed: "start /wait helpsvc /svchost netsvcs /regserver /install"
5. lots of churning and grinding sounds
6. typed in: "net start helpsvc"
7. error...net was not recognized this time
8. typed in: "start helpsvc"
9. more churning
10. same result...error message...cannot find marscore.dll
11. back to square one
Any more suggestions.

I was getting ready to reinstall Windows XP when I found Matthews post of 4/18/05. This did the trick, the file needed was dataspec.xml Found it in C:\Windows\ServicePackFiles\i386
