What are devinv.dll Error Messages?


Dynamic Link Library devinv.dll Errors

devinv.dll is considered a type of Dynamic Link Library (DLL) file. Dynamic Link Library files, like devinv.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. Cisco VPN Client Fix for Windows 8.1 and 10) could share the same devinv.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 devinv.dll is attempted to be loaded either when Cisco VPN Client Fix for Windows 8.1 and 10 is starting up, or in some cases already running. Some of the most common devinv.dll errors include:

Your devinv.dll file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with Cisco VPN Client Fix for Windows 8.1 and 10), or deleted by a malware infection. Furthermore, devinv.dll file corruption could be caused from a power outage when loading Cisco VPN Client Fix for Windows 8.1 and 10, system crash while loading devinv.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.

  1. Hit the Windows Start button
  2. In the search box, type "Update" and press "ENTER".
  3. In the Windows Update dialog box, click "Check for Updates" (or similar button depending on your Windows version)
  4. If updates are available for download, click "Install Updates".
  5. After the update is completed, restart your PC.

If Windows Update failed to resolve the devinv.dll error message, please proceed to next step. Please note that this final step is recommended for advanced PC users only.
