What are Adist64.dll Error Messages?

Dynamic Link Library Adist64.dll Errors

Adist64.dll is considered a type of Dynamic Link Library (DLL) file. Dynamic Link Library files, like Adist64.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. Adobe Acrobat DC) could share the same Adist64.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 Adist64.dll is attempted to be loaded either when Adobe Acrobat DC is starting up, or in some cases already running. Some of the most common Adist64.dll errors include:

Access Violation at address - Adist64.dll.
Adist64.dll could not be found.
Cannot find C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat DC\Acrobat\Adist64.dll.
Cannot register Adist64.dll.
Cannot start Adobe Acrobat DC. A required component is missing: Adist64.dll. Please install Adobe Acrobat DC again.
Failed to load Adist64.dll.
The application has failed to start because Adist64.dll was not found.
The file Adist64.dll is missing or corrupt.
This application failed to start because Adist64.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.

Your Adist64.dll file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with Adobe Acrobat DC), or deleted by a malware infection. Furthermore, Adist64.dll file corruption could be caused from a power outage when loading Adobe Acrobat DC, system crash while loading Adist64.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.

How to Fix Adist64.dll 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 Adist64.dll 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):

Hit the Windows Start button
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 Adist64.dll error, please proceed to the Step 2 below.

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

You can uninstall Adobe Acrobat DC software by following these instructions (Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, and 10):

Hit the Windows Start button
In the search box, type "Uninstall" and press "ENTER".
In the search results, find and click "Add or Remove Programs"
Find the entry for Adobe Acrobat DC (not specified) 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 Adist64.dll 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 updates are available for download, click "Install Updates".
After the update is completed, restart your PC.

If Windows Update failed to resolve the Adist64.dll 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 Adist64.dll 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 Adist64.dll file version. We maintain a comprehensive database of 100% malware-free Adist64.dll files for every applicable version of Adobe Acrobat DC. Please follow the steps below to download and properly replace you file:
