What are wow64-rapi.dll Error Messages?


Dynamic Link Library wow64-rapi.dll Errors

wow64-rapi.dll is considered a type of Dynamic Link Library (DLL) file. Dynamic Link Library files, like wow64-rapi.dll, 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 Windows Mobile Device Center for Windows Vista (64-bit)) could share the same wow64-rapi.dll 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 DLL 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 wow64-rapi.dll is attempted to be loaded either when Microsoft Windows Mobile Device Center for Windows Vista (64-bit) is starting up, or in some cases already running. Some of the most common wow64-rapi.dll errors include:

Your wow64-rapi.dll file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with Microsoft Windows Mobile Device Center for Windows Vista (64-bit)), or deleted by a malware infection. Furthermore, wow64-rapi.dll file corruption could be caused from a power outage when loading Microsoft Windows Mobile Device Center for Windows Vista (64-bit), system crash while loading wow64-rapi.dll, 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.
