Windows 10 App Execute DLL

Post by cldcp00 »

Hi there,

I use an Windows 10 app called Shazam that identifies that track that is playing. After some investigate i discovered that the app is not started by the normal .exe file but a DLL.

I have no idea how to execute an DLL but google the info below


To run the functions in a DLL, first find out what those functions are using any PE (Portable Executable) analysis program (e.g. Dependency Walker). Then use RUNDLL32.EXE with this syntax:

RUNDLL32.EXE <dllname>,<entrypoint> <optional arguments>
dllname is the path and name of your dll file, entrypoint is the function name, and optional arguments are the function arguments


Any ideas how I could execute from Xyplorer?

Thanks

I'm confused: the Shazam website doesn't list a Windows app. Where did you download it from?

Separately, could you post a listing from the Shazam app folder (presumably somewhere in C:\Program Files)?

Hi There,

Since Shazam was sold to Apple the app is no longer available from the Windows 10 its was installed via the Windows Store.

Apps installed in this fashion are not in Program Files folder but in WindowsApp folder and are DLL

The run script command can (obviously) start rundll32.exe with any necessary parameters
