PAPAESFX_ru-RU.DAT is considered a type of Dynamic Link Library (DLL) file. Dynamic Link Library files, like PAPAESFX_ru-RU.DAT, are essentially a "guide book" that stores information and instructions for executable (EXE) files - like MpSigStub.exe - to follow. These files were created so that multiple programs (eg. PowerArchiver) could share the same PAPAESFX_ru-RU.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 PAPAESFX_ru-RU.DAT is attempted to be loaded either when PowerArchiver is starting up, or in some cases already running. Some of the most common PAPAESFX_ru-RU.DAT errors include:
- Access Violation at address - PAPAESFX_ru-RU.DAT.
- PAPAESFX_ru-RU.DAT could not be found.
- Cannot find C:\Program Files\PowerArchiver\sfxs\PAPAESFX_ru-RU.DAT.
- Cannot register PAPAESFX_ru-RU.DAT.
- Cannot start PowerArchiver. A required component is missing: PAPAESFX_ru-RU.DAT. Please install PowerArchiver again.
- Failed to load PAPAESFX_ru-RU.DAT.
- The application has failed to start because PAPAESFX_ru-RU.DAT was not found.
- The file PAPAESFX_ru-RU.DAT is missing or corrupt.
- This application failed to start because PAPAESFX_ru-RU.DAT was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.
Your PAPAESFX_ru-RU.DAT file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with PowerArchiver), or deleted by a malware infection. Furthermore, PAPAESFX_ru-RU.DAT file corruption could be caused from a power outage when loading PowerArchiver, system crash while loading PAPAESFX_ru-RU.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.
