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