Skype sent down an auto-update today. Looks like it's now 5.3.0.111. Regardless, every time I started Skype, it said:
Exception EXMLDocError in module ezPMUtils.dll at 000E8FCA
Reboots, etc. didn't fix it. What did fix it was moving the file ezPMUtils.dll from the folder C:\Program Files (x86)\Skype\Plugin Manager to the folder C:\Program Files (x86)\Skype\Plugin Manager\MLS. Note that at first I tried copying the file to that folder but that did not fix the issue. Moving the file, however, did "fix" the issue in that the error no longer occurs. But of course, the extras manager also no longer functions. It would be really great to see *something* from the people at Skype about this issue.
Hope this helps someone.
It was also very interesting to notice that the auto-update installer still tried to move me across to Google Chrome, away from Internet Explorer. Obviously Skype isn't really integrated into Microsoft yet 🙂
helped me exactly! Thanks.
Thanks, you fix solved the problem for me.
Thanks – this just fixed the same problem for me!
Thanks, helped a lot! 🙂
Thanks it worked by moving the file
Thauks
Thanks, that sorted it 🙂
Worked for me too. Thanks Greg. One wonders why Skype have not fixed this themselves?.
it's really helped… thanks a lot…
Thanks, it worked fine. Why skype team didn't fix the problem themselves ?
Thanks a lot
thank u so much , it fixed the problem
dont understand why skype dont issue a fix for this 🙁 !
Moving the file ist not a fix. You can also delete the file. After moving or deleting, the Extra-Manager doesnt work anymore. 🙁
thank you very mutch!
Many thanks Folks
A better workaround is to go to the Skype Options / Advanced tab and disable starting the Extras Manager at startup
It's all the same result but I just renamed the file by changing from .dll to .dlltemp. This way it's still where I found it until Skype gets on top of what's going on.
