What are BCShellEx.dll Error Messages?


Dynamic Link Library BCShellEx.dll Errors

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

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