Help/Support sideloadly dll error

CoccoBrutto · October 6, 2023

I tried following all the instructions provided by sideloadly but none worked. As soon as I open the software it tells me that DLLs are missing in my system. I also tried downloading and using the application you recommended (dependency walker) to see what DLLs were missing. According to the dependency walker application there are really many missing, about 1000. I don't know if this is possible honestly because I don't know anything about it at all, in fact I don't even know if I used the application properly.

The error that sideloadly gives me is:

Local Anisette problem:
Redist install failed: There is a DLL problem, but MSVC redist are seemingly installed.
You may have to fix system files or reinstall redist packages.
NOTICE: Something is wrong with iTunes DLLs on your system: Failed to load C:\Users\email\AppData\Local\Sideloadly\an\libxml2.dll: Unable to find the specified module.
Please try the following steps one by one:

1. If this is the first time you see this error then try downloading files again (press Yes button below);

2. Make sure that iTunes & iCloud WEB versione are installed in your system (NOT from microsoft store!)

2a. If you had iTunes&iCloud from Microsoft Store then you should first FULLY uninstall them before installing non-MS versions;

3. (Re-)install Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Service Pack 1 Redistributable Package (x64);

4. (Re)install Microsoft Visual C++ 2013 Redistributable Package (x64);

5.Login to your Apple ID in iTunes but not in iCloud;

6.If all the above steps are performed but nothing helped then you may want to use Remote Anisette (available to our Patreon supporters) as it does not rely on your local system.xml err Failed to load C:\Users\email\AppData\Local\Sideloadly\an\libxml2.dll: Unable to find the specified module.

Do you want to download it?

It's highly reccomendend to use local Anisette

I tried everything in the instructions except Remote Anisette, but nothing worked. Also, if I hit the yes button to try to reinstall Anisette, the download reaches 28% and then the app stops working

You can try installing these dependencies

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/windows/latest-supported-vc-redist?view=msvc-170

For some reason you having issue with downloading local anisette try running Sideloadly as admin first. You may want to install iTunes / iCloud web version as well. Use the link from Sideloadly.io website

If issue persist you may want to stick with remote anisette option instead
