Failed To Open Dlllist.txt For Reading Error Code 2 May 2026

The built-in PowerShell approach avoids external files entirely:

%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: failed to open dlllist.txt for reading error code 2

dlllist.exe --pid %pid% > dlllist.txt Later, another script tries to read dlllist.txt but runs it incorrectly: failed to open dlllist.txt for reading error code 2

dlllist.exe @C:\tools\dlllist.txt If dlllist.txt exists elsewhere, change to that directory first: failed to open dlllist.txt for reading error code 2

echo. > dlllist.txt Then run your original command again. If you don’t need a response file, simply remove @dlllist.txt from the command line.
