What are dlmgr.dll Error Messages?


Dynamic Link Library dlmgr.dll Errors

dlmgr.dll is considered a type of Dynamic Link Library (DLL) file. Dynamic Link Library files, like dlmgr.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. Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate) could share the same dlmgr.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 dlmgr.dll is attempted to be loaded either when Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate is starting up, or in some cases already running. Some of the most common dlmgr.dll errors include:

Your dlmgr.dll file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate), or deleted by a malware infection. Furthermore, dlmgr.dll file corruption could be caused from a power outage when loading Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate, system crash while loading dlmgr.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 dlmgr.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 dlmgr.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):

  1. Hit the Windows Start button
  2. When you see the search box, type "System Restore" and press "ENTER".
  3. In the search results, find and click System Restore.
  4. Please enter the administrator password (if applicable / prompted).
  5. Follow the steps in the System Restore Wizard to choose a relevant restore point.
  6. Restore your computer to that backup image.

If the Step 1 fails to resolve the dlmgr.dll error, please proceed to the Step 2 below.

Step 2: If recently installed Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate (or related software), uninstall then try reinstalling Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate software.

You can uninstall Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate software by following these instructions (Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, and 10):

  1. Hit the Windows Start button
  2. In the search box, type "Uninstall" and press "ENTER".
  3. In the search results, find and click "Add or Remove Programs"

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 dlmgr.dll error messages that are encountered can be contributed to an outdated Windows Operating System. To run Windows Update, please follow these easy steps:

  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 dlmgr.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 dlmgr.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 dlmgr.dll file version. We maintain a comprehensive database of 100% malware-free dlmgr.dll files for every applicable version of Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate.

  4. Restart your computer.

GEEK TIP : We must emphasize that reinstalling Windows will be a very time-consuming and advanced task to resolve dlmgr.dll problems.

Download dlmgr.dll Files (Malware-Tested 100% Clean)


CAUTION : We strongly advise against downloading and copying dlmgr.dll to your appropriate Windows system directory. Microsoft typically does not release Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate DLL files for download because they are bundled together inside of a software installer. The installer's task is to ensure that all correct verifications have been made before installing and placing dlmgr.dll and all other DLL files for Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate. An incorrectly installed DLL file may create system instability and could cause your program or operating system to stop functioning altogether. Proceed with caution.
