What are layoutapp.tlb Error Messages?


Dynamic Link Library layoutapp.tlb Errors

layoutapp.tlb is considered a type of Dynamic Link Library (DLL) file. Dynamic Link Library files, like layoutapp.tlb, 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. SketchUp) could share the same layoutapp.tlb 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 TLB 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 layoutapp.tlb is attempted to be loaded either when SketchUp is starting up, or in some cases already running. Some of the most common layoutapp.tlb errors include:

Your layoutapp.tlb file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with SketchUp), or deleted by a malware infection. Furthermore, layoutapp.tlb file corruption could be caused from a power outage when loading SketchUp, system crash while loading layoutapp.tlb, 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 layoutapp.tlb 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 layoutapp.tlb 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 layoutapp.tlb error, please proceed to the Step 2 below.

Step 2: If recently installed SketchUp (or related software), uninstall then try reinstalling SketchUp software.

You can uninstall SketchUp 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 SketchUp 17.2.2555 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 layoutapp.tlb 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 layoutapp.tlb 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 layoutapp.tlb 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 layoutapp.tlb file version. We maintain a comprehensive database of 100% malware-free layoutapp.tlb files for every applicable version of SketchUp. Please follow the steps below to download and properly replace you file:

  1. Locate your Windows operating system version in the list of below "Download layoutapp.tlb Files".

    Windows 10: C:\Program Files\SketchUp\SketchUp 2017\LayOut\
  4. Restart your computer.

If this final step has failed and you're still encountering the error, you're only remaining option is to do a clean installation of Windows 10.


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

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



Download layoutapp.tlb Files (Malware-Tested 100% Clean)


CAUTION : We strongly advise against downloading and copying layoutapp.tlb to your appropriate Windows system directory. Trimble Inc. typically does not release SketchUp TLB 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 layoutapp.tlb and all other TLB files for SketchUp. An incorrectly installed TLB file may create system instability and could cause your program or operating system to stop functioning altogether. Proceed with caution.
