MFReadWrite.dll is missing from your computer....  

Hi everyone, I was wondering if someone might have a solution.

I have re-installed Windows 7 Ultimate N for my wife who uses it to run an embroidery program.
She does not go online with it, so I am not to worried about updates or security - it's only running in her sewing room.

When I run the program I get the following system error:

"The program can't start because MFReadWrite.dll is missing from you computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem."

If I am not mistaken, it is because the 'media pack' doesn't come with the 'N' version and because Win 7 is end of life there is no where that I can see to download it.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to go about resolving the issue?

Thanks for the help.

I tired the links on that page and 'no joy'. They go to a wayback page and the download doesn't work.

As it was donated the k-lite package, is there any chance the k-lite codec package has included the required files?

Great. Thanks for the link.
Any thoughts on the k-lite question? Is that something that gets added to that package?

that is a 3rd party codec pack. I dont see why you want it.

If this works, I won't need it. It was more now of a curiosity thing as to if it was included in that pack.
Thanks again for the help. Hopefully this works.
