What are sqlwvss.dll Error Messages?

Dynamic Link Library sqlwvss.dll Errors

sqlwvss.dll is considered a type of Dynamic Link Library (DLL) file. Dynamic Link Library files, like sqlwvss.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. inFlow Inventory) could share the same sqlwvss.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 sqlwvss.dll is attempted to be loaded either when inFlow Inventory is starting up, or in some cases already running. Some of the most common sqlwvss.dll errors include:

Access Violation at address - sqlwvss.dll.
sqlwvss.dll could not be found.
Cannot find C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Shared\sqlwvss.dll.
Cannot register sqlwvss.dll.
Cannot start inFlow Inventory. A required component is missing: sqlwvss.dll. Please install inFlow Inventory again.
Failed to load sqlwvss.dll.
The application has failed to start because sqlwvss.dll was not found.
The file sqlwvss.dll is missing or corrupt.
This application failed to start because sqlwvss.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.

Your sqlwvss.dll file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with inFlow Inventory), or deleted by a malware infection. Furthermore, sqlwvss.dll file corruption could be caused from a power outage when loading inFlow Inventory, system crash while loading sqlwvss.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.

How to Fix sqlwvss.dll Errors in 3 Steps (Time to complete: ~5-15 minutes)

If you're encountering one of the error messages above, follow these troubleshooting steps to resolve your sqlwvss.dll issue. These troubleshooting steps are listed in the recommended order of execution.

Step 1: Restore your PC back to the latest restore point, "snapshot", or backup image before error occurred.

To begin System Restore (Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, and 10):

Hit the Windows Start button
When you see the search box, type "System Restore" and press "ENTER".
In the search results, find and click System Restore.
Please enter the administrator password (if applicable / prompted).
Follow the steps in the System Restore Wizard to choose a relevant restore point.
Restore your computer to that backup image.

If the Step 1 fails to resolve the sqlwvss.dll error, please proceed to the Step 2 below.

Step 2: If recently installed inFlow Inventory (or related software), uninstall then try reinstalling inFlow Inventory software.

You can uninstall inFlow Inventory software by following these instructions (Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, and 10):

Hit the Windows Start button
In the search box, type "Uninstall" and press "ENTER".
In the search results, find and click "Add or Remove Programs"
Find the entry for inFlow Inventory 3.5.2 and click "Uninstall"

inFlow Inventory 3.5.2

inFlow Inventory Software

Step 3: Perform a Windows Update.

When the first two steps haven't solved your issue, it might be a good idea to run Windows Update. Many sqlwvss.dll error messages that are encountered can be contributed to an outdated Windows Operating System. To run Windows Update, please follow these easy steps:

Hit the Windows Start button
In the search box, type "Update" and press "ENTER".
In the Windows Update dialog box, click "Check for Updates" (or similar button depending on your Windows version)
If updates are available for download, click "Install Updates".
After the update is completed, restart your PC.

If Windows Update failed to resolve the sqlwvss.dll error message, please proceed to next step. Please note that this final step is recommended for advanced PC users only.

If Those Steps Fail: Download and Replace Your sqlwvss.dll File (Caution: Advanced)

If none of the previous three troubleshooting steps have resolved your issue, you can try a more aggressive approach (Note: Not recommended for amateur PC users) by downloading and replacing your appropriate sqlwvss.dll file version. We maintain a comprehensive database of 100% malware-free sqlwvss.dll files for every applicable version of inFlow Inventory. Please follow the steps below to download and properly replace you file:

Locate your Windows operating system version in the list of below "Download sqlwvss.dll Files".
Click the appropriate "Download Now" button and download your Windows file version.
Copy this file to the appropriate inFlow Inventory folder location:

Windows 10: C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Shared\
Windows 10: C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Shared\
Windows 10: C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Shared\
Restart your computer.

If this final step has failed and you're still encountering the error, you're only remaining option is to do a clean installation of Windows 10.

GEEK TIP : We must emphasize that reinstalling Windows will be a very time-consuming and advanced task to resolve sqlwvss.dll problems. To avoid data loss, you must be sure that you have backed-up all of your important documents, pictures, software installers, and other personal data before beginning the process. If you are not currently backing up your data, you need to do so immediately.

Download sqlwvss.dll Files (Malware-Tested 100% Clean)

CAUTION : We strongly advise against downloading and copying sqlwvss.dll to your appropriate Windows system directory. inFlow Inventory Software typically does not release inFlow Inventory DLL files for download because they are bundled together inside of a software installer. The installer's task is to ensure that all correct verifications have been made before installing and placing sqlwvss.dll and all other DLL files for inFlow Inventory.
