What are Policy.12.0.Office.dll Error Messages?

Dynamic Link Library Policy.12.0.Office.dll Errors

Policy.12.0.Office.dll is considered a type of Dynamic Link Library (DLL) file. Dynamic Link Library files, like Policy.12.0.Office.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 Office Professional Plus 2010 (64-bit)) could share the same Policy.12.0.Office.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 Policy.12.0.Office.dll is attempted to be loaded either when Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2010 (64-bit) is starting up, or in some cases already running. Some of the most common Policy.12.0.Office.dll errors include:

Access Violation at address - Policy.12.0.Office.dll.
Policy.12.0.Office.dll could not be found.
Cannot find C:\Windows\assembly\GAC_MSIL\Policy.12.0.office\14.0.0.0__71e9bce111e9429c\Policy.12.0.Office.dll.
Cannot register Policy.12.0.Office.dll.
Cannot start Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2010 (64-bit). A required component is missing: Policy.12.0.Office.dll. Please install Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2010 (64-bit) again.
Failed to load Policy.12.0.Office.dll.
The application has failed to start because Policy.12.0.Office.dll was not found.
The file Policy.12.0.Office.dll is missing or corrupt.
This application failed to start because Policy.12.0.Office.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.

Your Policy.12.0.Office.dll file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2010 (64-bit)), or deleted by a malware infection. Furthermore, Policy.12.0.Office.dll file corruption could be caused from a power outage when loading Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2010 (64-bit), system crash while loading Policy.12.0.Office.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.

Step 3: Perform a Windows Update.

Download Policy.12.0.Office.dll Files (Malware-Tested 100% Clean)

CAUTION : We strongly advise against downloading and copying Policy.12.0.Office.dll to your appropriate Windows system directory. Microsoft typically does not release Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2010 (64-bit) DLL files for download because they are bundled together inside of a software installer.
