Error Code 0x80040702

 

When uninstalling the Black Ice Printer Driver on 64-bit operating systems where Microsoft Security updates are up-to-date, one may get Error Code 0x80040702 that halts the uninstallation process

 

(The exact DLL name depends on the driver type and operating system.)

This problem can occur on 64-bit operating systems where the Microsoft Security Update KB2393802 is applied (also included in Windows 7 SP1).

 

Copy (do not move) the indicated .dll file from the C:\Windows\System32 folder to the C:\Windows\SysWOW64 folder. Once the .dll file is copied, restart the Printer Driver uninstallation process.
