tprdpw32.dll is considered a type of Dynamic Link Library (DLL) file. Dynamic Link Library files, like tprdpw32.dll, are essentially a "guide book" that stores information and instructions for executable (EXE) files - like 7za.exe - to follow. These files were created so that multiple programs (eg. VMWare Workstation Player) could share the same tprdpw32.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 tprdpw32.dll is attempted to be loaded either when VMWare Workstation Player is starting up, or in some cases already running. Some of the most common tprdpw32.dll errors include:
- Access Violation at address - tprdpw32.dll.
- tprdpw32.dll could not be found.
- Cannot find C:\Program Files (x86)\VMware\VMware Player\tprdpw32.dll.
- Cannot register tprdpw32.dll.
- Cannot start VMWare Workstation Player. A required component is missing: tprdpw32.dll. Please install VMWare Workstation Player again.
- Failed to load tprdpw32.dll.
- The application has failed to start because tprdpw32.dll was not found.
- The file tprdpw32.dll is missing or corrupt.
- This application failed to start because tprdpw32.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.
Your tprdpw32.dll file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with VMWare Workstation Player), or deleted by a malware infection. Furthermore, tprdpw32.dll file corruption could be caused from a power outage when loading VMWare Workstation Player, system crash while loading tprdpw32.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.
