AcoustID.dll is considered a type of Dynamic Link Library (DLL) file. Dynamic Link Library files, like AcoustID.dll, are essentially a "guide book" that stores information and instructions for executable (EXE) files - like OneDriveSetup.exe - to follow. These files were created so that multiple programs (eg. Duplicate Cleaner) could share the same AcoustID.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 AcoustID.dll is attempted to be loaded either when Duplicate Cleaner is starting up, or in some cases already running. Some of the most common AcoustID.dll errors include:
- Access Violation at address - AcoustID.dll.
- AcoustID.dll could not be found.
- Cannot find C:\Program Files (x86)\Duplicate Cleaner Free\AcoustID.dll.
- Cannot register AcoustID.dll.
- Cannot start Duplicate Cleaner. A required component is missing: AcoustID.dll. Please install Duplicate Cleaner again.
- Failed to load AcoustID.dll.
- The application has failed to start because AcoustID.dll was not found.
- The file AcoustID.dll is missing or corrupt.
- This application failed to start because AcoustID.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.
Your AcoustID.dll file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with Duplicate Cleaner), or deleted by a malware infection. Furthermore, AcoustID.dll file corruption could be caused from a power outage when loading Duplicate Cleaner, system crash while loading AcoustID.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.
