versionCheck_g.dll is considered a type of Dynamic Link Library (DLL) file. Dynamic Link Library files, like versionCheck_g.dll, are essentially a "guide book" that stores information and instructions for executable (EXE) files - like klist.exe - to follow. These files were created so that multiple programs (eg. Java Development Kit (JDK)) could share the same versionCheck_g.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 versionCheck_g.dll is attempted to be loaded either when Java Development Kit (JDK) is starting up, or in some cases already running. Some of the most common versionCheck_g.dll errors include:
- Access Violation at address - versionCheck_g.dll.
- versionCheck_g.dll could not be found.
- Cannot find C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.5.0_22\demo\jvmti\versionCheck\lib\versionCheck_g.dll.
- Cannot register versionCheck_g.dll.
- Cannot start Java Development Kit (JDK). A required component is missing: versionCheck_g.dll. Please install Java Development Kit (JDK) again.
- Failed to load versionCheck_g.dll.
- The application has failed to start because versionCheck_g.dll was not found.
- The file versionCheck_g.dll is missing or corrupt.
- This application failed to start because versionCheck_g.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.
Your versionCheck_g.dll file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with Java Development Kit (JDK)), or deleted by a malware infection. Furthermore, versionCheck_g.dll file corruption could be caused from a power outage when loading Java Development Kit (JDK), system crash while loading versionCheck_g.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.
