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