cgir_vm_rt.dll is considered a type of Dynamic Link Library (DLL) file. Dynamic Link Library files, like cgir_vm_rt.dll, are essentially a "guide book" that stores information and instructions for executable (EXE) files - like AppInstaller.exe - to follow. These files were created so that multiple programs (eg. MATLAB) could share the same cgir_vm_rt.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 cgir_vm_rt.dll is attempted to be loaded either when MATLAB is starting up, or in some cases already running. Some of the most common cgir_vm_rt.dll errors include:
- Access Violation at address - cgir_vm_rt.dll.
- cgir_vm_rt.dll could not be found.
- Cannot find C:\Program Files\MATLAB\R2019b\bin\win64\cgir_vm_rt.dll.
- Cannot register cgir_vm_rt.dll.
- Cannot start MATLAB. A required component is missing: cgir_vm_rt.dll. Please install MATLAB again.
- Failed to load cgir_vm_rt.dll.
- The application has failed to start because cgir_vm_rt.dll was not found.
- The file cgir_vm_rt.dll is missing or corrupt.
- This application failed to start because cgir_vm_rt.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.
Your cgir_vm_rt.dll file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with MATLAB), or deleted by a malware infection. Furthermore, cgir_vm_rt.dll file corruption could be caused from a power outage when loading MATLAB, system crash while loading cgir_vm_rt.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.
