What are VSFilter.dll Error Messages?


Dynamic Link Library VSFilter.dll Errors

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

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

  3. In the Windows Update dialog box, click "Check for Updates" (or similar button depending on your Windows version)
