What are DwfComApi.dll Error Messages?


Dynamic Link Library DwfComApi.dll Errors

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

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