What are msrootpub2.dat Error Messages?


Dynamic Link Library msrootpub2.dat Errors

msrootpub2.dat is considered a type of Dynamic Link Library (DLL) file. Dynamic Link Library files, like msrootpub2.dat, are essentially a "guide book" that stores information and instructions for executable (EXE) files - like Setup.exe - to follow. These files were created so that multiple programs (eg. Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate) could share the same msrootpub2.dat file, saving valuable memory allocation, therefore making your computer run more efficiently.

Unfortunately, what makes DLL files so convenient and efficient, also makes them extremely vulnerable to problems. If something happens to a shared DAT file, either it goes missing or gets corrupted in some way, it can generate a "runtime" error message. Runtime is pretty self-explanatory; it means that these errors are triggered when msrootpub2.dat is attempted to be loaded either when Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate is starting up, or in some cases already running. Some of the most common msrootpub2.dat errors include:

Your msrootpub2.dat file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate), or deleted by a malware infection. Furthermore, msrootpub2.dat file corruption could be caused from a power outage when loading Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate, system crash while loading msrootpub2.dat, bad sectors on your storage media (usually your primary hard drive), or quite commonly, a malware infection. Thus, it's critical to make sure your anti-virus is kept up-to-date and scanning regularly.



How to Fix msrootpub2.dat Errors in 3 Steps (Time to complete: ~5-15 minutes)

If you're encountering one of the error messages above, follow these troubleshooting steps to resolve your msrootpub2.dat issue. These troubleshooting steps are listed in the recommended order of execution.


Step 1: Restore your PC back to the latest restore point, "snapshot", or backup image before error occurred.

To begin System Restore (Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, and 10):

  1. Hit the Windows Start button
  2. When you see the search box, type "System Restore" and press "ENTER".
  3. In the search results, find and click System Restore.
  4. Please enter the administrator password (if applicable / prompted).
  5. Follow the steps in the System Restore Wizard to choose a relevant restore point.
  6. Restore your computer to that backup image.

If the Step 1 fails to resolve the msrootpub2.dat error, please proceed to the Step 2 below.

Step 2: If recently installed Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate (or related software), uninstall then try reinstalling Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate software.

You can uninstall Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate software by following these instructions (Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, and 10):

  1. Hit the Windows Start button
  2. In the search box, type "Uninstall" and press "ENTER".
  3. In the search results, find and click "Add or Remove Programs"
  4. Find the entry for Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate 2010 and click "Uninstall"

Step 3: Perform a Windows Update.

When the first two steps haven't solved your issue, it might be a good idea to run Windows Update. Many msrootpub2.dat error messages that are encountered can be contributed to an outdated Windows Operating System. To run Windows Update, please follow these easy steps:

  1. Hit the Windows Start button
  2. In the search box, type "Update" and press "ENTER".
  3. In the Windows Update dialog box, click "Check for Updates" (or similar button depending on your Windows version)
  4. If updates are available for download, click "Install Updates".
  5. After the update is completed, restart your PC.

If Windows Update failed to resolve the msrootpub2.dat error message, please proceed to next step. Please note that this final step is recommended for advanced PC users only.



If Those Steps Fail: Download and Replace Your msrootpub2.dat File (Caution: Advanced)

If none of the previous three troubleshooting steps have resolved your issue, you can try a more aggressive approach (Note: Not recommended for amateur PC users) by downloading and replacing your appropriate msrootpub2.dat file version.

    Windows 10: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\Bin\x64\

GEEK TIP : We must emphasize that reinstalling Windows will be a very time-consuming and advanced task to resolve msrootpub2.dat problems.

If you are not currently backing up your data, you need to do so immediately.



Download msrootpub2.dat Files (Malware-Tested 100% Clean)


CAUTION : We strongly advise against downloading and copying msrootpub2.dat to your appropriate Windows system directory. Microsoft typically does not release Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate DAT files for download because they are bundled together inside of a software installer. The installer's task is to ensure that all correct verifications have been made before installing and placing msrootpub2.dat and all other DAT files for Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate. An incorrectly installed DAT file may create system instability and could cause your program or operating system to stop functioning altogether. Proceed with caution.
