Example dlllist.txt :
%windir%\Sysnative\cmd.exe Then run your dlllist command from there. To ensure scripts never fail with error code 2, adopt these best practices. Check if file exists before reading Batch script example:
dlllist.exe < dlllist.txt # Tries to read from file — wrong usage for dlllist Depending on your use case, choose the appropriate solution. Fix 1: Create an empty dlllist.txt file (quick workaround) If the tool expects the file to exist even if empty:
Get-Process -Id 1234 | ForEach-Object $_.Modules No dlllist.txt needed. In some automated malware analysis setups, a script might run:
dlllist.exe --pid %pid% > dlllist.txt Later, another script tries to read dlllist.txt but runs it incorrectly:
if (-not (Test-Path "dlllist.txt")) New-Item -Path "dlllist.txt" -ItemType File
Right-click dlllist.txt → Properties → Security → ensure your user has permission. Fix 7: Disable path redirection (for 32-bit vs 64-bit issues) On 64-bit Windows, running 32-bit tools from SysWOW64 may cause file system redirector issues. Use:
