mfc100ud.dll is considered a type of Dynamic Link Library (DLL) file. Dynamic Link Library files, like mfc100ud.dll, are essentially a "guide book" that stores information and instructions for executable (EXE) files - like Setup.exe - to follow. These files were created so that multiple programs (eg. Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate) could share the same mfc100ud.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 mfc100ud.dll is attempted to be loaded either when Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate is starting up, or in some cases already running. Some of the most common mfc100ud.dll errors include:
- Access Violation at address - mfc100ud.dll.
- mfc100ud.dll could not be found.
- Cannot find C:\Windows\System32\mfc100ud.dll.
- Cannot register mfc100ud.dll.
- Cannot start Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate. A required component is missing: mfc100ud.dll. Please install Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate again.
- Failed to load mfc100ud.dll.
- The application has failed to start because mfc100ud.dll was not found.
- The file mfc100ud.dll is missing or corrupt.
- This application failed to start because mfc100ud.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.
Your mfc100ud.dll file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate), or deleted by a malware infection. Furthermore, mfc100ud.dll file corruption could be caused from a power outage when loading Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate, system crash while loading mfc100ud.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.
