What are DTShellHlp.exe Error Messages?

DTShellHlp.exe Runtime Errors

Runtime errors are DAEMON Tools errors that occur during "runtime". Runtime is pretty self-explanatory; it means that these EXE errors are triggered when DTShellHlp.exe is attempted to be loaded either when DAEMON Tools is starting up, or in some cases already running. Runtime errors are the most common form of EXE error you will encounter using DAEMON Tools.

In most cases, DTShellHlp.exe runtime errors occurring while the program is running will result in the program terminating abnormally. Most of these DTShellHlp.exe error messages mean that DAEMON Tools was either unable to locate this file on startup, or the file is corrupt, resulting in a prematurely-aborted startup process. Generally, DAEMON Tools will be unable to start without resolving these errors.

Some of the most common DTShellHlp.exe errors include:

DTShellHlp.exe - Bad Image.
DTShellHlp.exe Application Error.
DTShellHlp.exe could not be found.
DTShellHlp.exe could not be installed.
DTShellHlp.exe could not be launched. Class not registered.
DTShellHlp.exe could not be started.
DTShellHlp.exe failed to initialize properly.
DTShellHlp.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
DTShellHlp.exe is not a valid Win32 application.
DTShellHlp.exe is not running.
Cannot find DTShellHlp.exe.
Error starting program: DTShellHlp.exe.
Faulting Application Path: DTShellHlp.exe.
The file DTShellHlp.exe is missing or corrupt.
Windows failed to start - DTShellHlp.exe.

System Error

The program can’t start because DTShellHlp.exe is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem.

Thus, it's critical to make sure your anti-virus is kept up-to-date and scanning regularly.

Finding the source of the DTShellHlp.exe error is key to properly resolving these errors. Although most of these EXE errors affecting DTShellHlp.exe will happen during startup, occasionally you will encounter a runtime error while using DAEMON Tools Pro. This can occur due to poor programming on behalf of Disc Soft Ltd, conflicts with other software or 3rd-party plug-ins, or caused by damaged and outdated hardware. Also, these types of DTShellHlp.exe errors can occur if it has been accidentally moved, deleted, or corrupted by a malware infection. Thus, it's critical to make sure your anti-virus is kept up-to-date and scanning regularly.

How to Fix DTShellHlp.exe 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 DTShellHlp.exe issue. These troubleshooting steps are listed in the recommended order of execution.

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

If the Step 1 fails to resolve the DTShellHlp.exe error, please proceed to the Step 2 below.

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 DTShellHlp.exe error messages that are encountered can be contributed to an outdated Windows Operating System. To run Windows Update, please follow these easy steps:

Hit the Windows Start button
In the search box, type "Update" and press "ENTER".
In the Windows Update dialog box, click "Check for Updates" (or similar button depending on your Windows version)

If Those Steps Fail: Download and Replace Your DTShellHlp.exe File (Caution: Advanced)

We maintain a comprehensive database of 100% malware-free DTShellHlp.exe files for every applicable version of DAEMON Tools. Please follow the steps below to download and properly replace you file:

Windows 10: C:\Program Files\DAEMON Tools Lite\

CAUTION : We strongly advise against downloading and copying DTShellHlp.exe to your appropriate Windows system directory. Disc Soft Ltd. typically does not release DAEMON Tools EXE files for download because they are bundled together inside of a software installer.
