Ekc6420.dll is considered a type of Dynamic Link Library (DLL) file. Dynamic Link Library files, like Ekc6420.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. Stellar Data Recovery Professional) could share the same Ekc6420.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 Ekc6420.dll is attempted to be loaded either when Stellar Data Recovery Professional is starting up, or in some cases already running. Some of the most common Ekc6420.dll errors include:
- Access Violation at address - Ekc6420.dll.
- Ekc6420.dll could not be found.
- Cannot find C:\Program Files (x86)\Stellar Data Recovery\Ekc6420.dll.
- Cannot register Ekc6420.dll.
- Cannot start Stellar Data Recovery Professional. A required component is missing: Ekc6420.dll. Please install Stellar Data Recovery Professional again.
- Failed to load Ekc6420.dll.
- The application has failed to start because Ekc6420.dll was not found.
- The file Ekc6420.dll is missing or corrupt.
- This application failed to start because Ekc6420.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.
Your Ekc6420.dll file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with Stellar Data Recovery Professional), or deleted by a malware infection. Furthermore, Ekc6420.dll file corruption could be caused from a power outage when loading Stellar Data Recovery Professional, system crash while loading Ekc6420.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.
