DxtoryVulkanLayer64.dll is considered a type of Dynamic Link Library (DLL) file. Dynamic Link Library files, like DxtoryVulkanLayer64.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. Dxtory) could share the same DxtoryVulkanLayer64.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 DxtoryVulkanLayer64.dll is attempted to be loaded either when Dxtory is starting up, or in some cases already running. Some of the most common DxtoryVulkanLayer64.dll errors include:
- Access Violation at address - DxtoryVulkanLayer64.dll.
- DxtoryVulkanLayer64.dll could not be found.
- Cannot find C:\Program Files (x86)\ExKode\Dxtory2.0\DxtoryVulkanLayer64.dll.

- The file DxtoryVulkanLayer64.dll is missing or corrupt.
- This application failed to start because DxtoryVulkanLayer64.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.
Your DxtoryVulkanLayer64.dll file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with Dxtory), or deleted by a malware infection.
