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