“The procedure entry point could not be located in the dynamic link library” is one of the known errors that appear when the Entry Point is not found—IVMS-4200.Framework.S.exe. In this blog, we will give you some possible solutions for this error and also its possible causes.
ERROR IVMS-4200.Framework.S.exe ENTRY POINT NOT FOUND
The error message “IVMS-4200.Framework.S.exe Entry Point Not Found” typically indicates that the application is attempting to access a function or resource in a library (DLL) that does not exist or is incompatible. This could be caused by a variety of issues such as missing or corrupt files, mismatched versions of software, or problems with system dependencies.

If when running the IVMS software the error shown in the image is displayed, it can be solved as shown below. This error is caused by damage to the IVMS application database. To fix it, we have to delete the IVMS application root folder located in C:\Program Files (x86).

We delete that folder to ensure that all the application data is deleted. Once the process is done, we reinstall IVMS, and the problem will be solved.
The disadvantage is that we will have to reconfigure all the settings that we had, for this it is advisable to make backup copies of the configuration, if the error is repeated again is only to delete the damaged database and after reinstalling it would only be to restore the Backup of the database.
POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS FOR ENTRY POINT NOT FOUND
Check for Missing or Corrupt Files
- Navigate to the software installation folder (e.g., C:\Program Files\iVMS-4200).
- If a specific DLL file is mentioned in the error, it might be missing or corrupted.
- Reinstalling the software should replace missing files.
- Alternatively, copy the required file from another working 4200 software installation.
Update System Dependencies
- Download and install the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable Packages:
- Both x86 (32-bit) and x64 (64-bit) versions may be required.
- Download the latest Visual C++ versions.
- Make sure your Windows system is up to date:
- Go to Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update and check for updates.
Verify Software Compatibility
- Ensure your operating system meets the requirements for the version of 4200 software you’re using.
- If you’re on Windows 10 or 11, ensure you’re using the latest version of the software. Older versions may not function properly.
Disable Conflicting Software
- Temporarily disable antivirus or security software that might block specific processes.
- Close any other Hikvision-related programs that may cause conflicts.
Run as Administrator
- Right-click 4200 software.Framework.S.exe and select Run as Administrator.
- If this works, adjust the program properties to always run as administrator:
- Right-click the executable > Properties > Compatibility > Check. Run this program as an administrator.
Re-register DLLs
If the error involves a missing or unregistered DLL file, you can manually register it:
- Open Command Prompt as Administrator.
- Use the command to register the file:
- CSS
- CopyEdit
- regsvr32 [Path_to_DLL]
- Replace [Path_to_DLL] with the full path to the DLL file.
Check Logs for Details
Check the software Hikvision security cameras logs or Windows Event Viewer for more details about the error. This may point to the exact file or function causing the issue.
Contact Technical Support
- If the above steps don’t resolve the issue, contact Technical Support and provide the following:
- The exact error message.
- The version of the software you’re using.
- Details about your operating system and environment.
WHY DOES THIS ERROR OCCUR?
The “Entry Point Not Found” error occurs when a program, like IVMS-4200.Framework.S.exe, attempts to access a specific function or resource in a Dynamic Link Library (DLL) that is either missing, incompatible or does not contain the requested entry point.
Missing or Corrupted DLL Files
The application relies on DLL files for functionality. Suppose a required DLL is missing, corrupted, or improperly registered. In that case, the program cannot find the “entry point” to execute its function.
Incompatible or Outdated Dependencies
- The 4200 software may require specific versions of system libraries (e.g., Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributables).
- The executable cannot function properly if these dependencies are outdated or missing.
Software Version Mismatch
- If an older version of 4200 software is installed on a newer operating system (e.g., Windows 11), it may call functions that have been deprecated or removed in newer system libraries.
- Similarly, installing a newer version of 4200 software on an outdated OS can cause incompatibility issues.
Corrupted Installation
An incomplete or corrupted installation (e.g., due to a failed download or antivirus interference) can leave out critical components needed for the program to run.
Conflicts with Other Software
Other software, such as antivirus programs, system optimizers, or even older versions of 4200 software, may interfere with the executable’s proper functioning.
Hardware or OS-Related Issues
- An unsupported or incompatible operating system (e.g., older Windows versions) may lack features or updates that 4200 software requires.
- Outdated drivers or hardware may also contribute to compatibility issues.
Incorrect File Execution
This error can result from running the wrong executable or trying to run a component file (like IVMS-4200.Framework.S.exe) directly instead of using the main application launcher.
Registry Errors
Corrupted or invalid registry entries related to 4200 software Hikvision security cameras or its dependencies can cause the program to reference incorrect or unavailable functions.
