UIxContentsPlugin.dll is considered a type of Dynamic Link Library (DLL) file. Dynamic Link Library files, like UIxContentsPlugin.dll, are essentially a "guide book" that stores information and instructions for executable (EXE) files - like 360View.exe - to follow. These files were created so that multiple programs (eg. Canon Utilities PhotoStitch) could share the same UIxContentsPlugin.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 UIxContentsPlugin.dll is attempted to be loaded either when Canon Utilities PhotoStitch is starting up, or in some cases already running. Some of the most common UIxContentsPlugin.dll errors include:
- Access Violation at address - UIxContentsPlugin.dll.
- UIxContentsPlugin.dll could not be found.
- Cannot find C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Canon_Inc_IC\UniversalInstaller\Install\UIxContentsPlugin.dll.
- Cannot register UIxContentsPlugin.dll.
- Cannot start Canon Utilities PhotoStitch. A required component is missing: UIxContentsPlugin.dll. Please install Canon Utilities PhotoStitch again.
- Failed to load UIxContentsPlugin.dll.
- The application has failed to start because UIxContentsPlugin.dll was not found.
- The file UIxContentsPlugin.dll is missing or corrupt.
- This application failed to start because UIxContentsPlugin.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.
Your UIxContentsPlugin.dll file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with Canon Utilities PhotoStitch), or deleted by a malware infection. Furthermore, UIxContentsPlugin.dll file corruption could be caused from a power outage when loading Canon Utilities PhotoStitch, system crash while loading UIxContentsPlugin.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.
