h264_ex.dll is considered a type of Dynamic Link Library (DLL) file. Dynamic Link Library files, like h264_ex.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. Wondershare UniConverter) could share the same h264_ex.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 h264_ex.dll is attempted to be loaded either when Wondershare UniConverter is starting up, or in some cases already running. Some of the most common h264_ex.dll errors include:
- Access Violation at address - h264_ex.dll.
- h264_ex.dll could not be found.
- Cannot find C:\Program Files (x86)\Wondershare\Video Converter Ultimate\h264_ex.dll.
- Cannot register h264_ex.dll.
- Cannot start Wondershare UniConverter. A required component is missing: h264_ex.dll. Please install Wondershare UniConverter again.
- Failed to load h264_ex.dll.
- The application has failed to start because h264_ex.dll was not found.
- The file h264_ex.dll is missing or corrupt.
- This application failed to start because h264_ex.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.
Your h264_ex.dll file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with Wondershare UniConverter), or deleted by a malware infection. Furthermore, h264_ex.dll file corruption could be caused from a power outage when loading Wondershare UniConverter, system crash while loading h264_ex.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.
