I have a question about .dll files. To open .dll files i tried the programm "dotpeek".

Starting the programm, I clicked "files" browsed for my file (it's Minesweeper.dll default windows path C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Minesweeper) and i clicked "open". Everything works well, but i can't open the file! The bracket behind it, in the assembly list, says "(not supported)". Does anybody know why?

Im not sure but i noticed that its a ".NetFramework v4.5 " and every other file in the assembly list is "v4.0" could that be the problem???

I Hope somebody can help me

dotPeek and other similar programs like ILSpy are for .NET assemblies. Minesweeper.dll is a native DLL and thus can't be opened in dotPeek.

  • There is none in the way similar to dotPeek – Daniel Hilgarth Mar 09 '15 at 20:12
  • You will get assembler or spaghetti code. You wouldn't be able to use it – Daniel Hilgarth Mar 09 '15 at 20:46

  • @tankman175: You could have just googled... [Minesweeper OpenSource](https://www.google.de/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&es_th=1&ie=UTF-8#q=minesweeper%20open%20source&es_th=1) – Daniel Hilgarth Mar 09 '15 at 20:55
  • Initially I wanted to control the in and output of a minesweeper game; I thought opening the dll would give me usefull insight but using a publicly available java version of minesweeper would definetely have been the easier solution; anyhow, thanks alot for helping 16yo me ;) – tankman175 Jan 16 '18 at 10:21
