What are vsansi.dll Error Messages?

Dynamic Link Library vsansi.dll Errors

vsansi.dll is considered a type of Dynamic Link Library (DLL) file. Dynamic Link Library files, like vsansi.dll, are essentially a "guide book" that stores information and instructions for executable (EXE) files - like aspnet_state.exe - to follow. These files were created so that multiple programs (eg. Tiff Viewer) could share the same vsansi.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 vsansi.dll is attempted to be loaded either when Tiff Viewer is starting up, or in some cases already running. Some of the most common vsansi.dll errors include:

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

Your vsansi.dll file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with Tiff Viewer), or deleted by a malware infection. Furthermore, vsansi.dll file corruption could be caused from a power outage when loading Tiff Viewer, system crash while loading vsansi.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 vsansi.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 vsansi.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 vsansi.dll error, please proceed to the Step 2 below.

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

You can uninstall Tiff Viewer 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 Tiff Viewer 1 and click "Uninstall"

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 vsansi.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 vsansi.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 vsansi.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 vsansi.dll file version. We maintain a comprehensive database of 100% malware-free vsansi.dll files for every applicable version of Tiff Viewer. Please follow the steps below to download and properly replace you file:

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

Windows XP: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office10\VS Runtime\
Windows 10: C:\DotNet\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\MSEnv\
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 vsansi.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 vsansi.dll Files (Malware-Tested 100% Clean)

CAUTION : We strongly advise against downloading and copying vsansi.dll to your appropriate Windows system directory. Compact typically does not release Tiff Viewer 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 vsansi.dll and all other DLL files for Tiff Viewer. An incorrectly installed DLL file may create system instability and could cause your program or operating system to stop functioning altogether. Proceed with caution.
