What are VBE6EXT.OLB Error Messages?

Dynamic Link Library VBE6EXT.OLB Errors

VBE6EXT.OLB is considered a type of Dynamic Link Library (DLL) file. Dynamic Link Library files, like VBE6EXT.OLB, are essentially a "guide book" that stores information and instructions for executable (EXE) files - like Setup.exe - to follow. These files were created so that multiple programs (eg. Microsoft Visio Premium 2010) could share the same VBE6EXT.OLB 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 OLB 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 VBE6EXT.OLB is attempted to be loaded either when Microsoft Visio Premium 2010 is starting up, or in some cases already running. Some of the most common VBE6EXT.OLB errors include:

• Access Violation at address - VBE6EXT.OLB.
• VBE6EXT.OLB could not be found.
• Cannot find C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\microsoft shared\VBA\VBA6\VBE6EXT.OLB.
• Cannot register VBE6EXT.OLB.
• Cannot start Microsoft Visio Premium 2010. A required component is missing: VBE6EXT.OLB. Please install Microsoft Visio Premium 2010 again.
• Failed to load VBE6EXT.OLB.
• The application has failed to start because VBE6EXT.OLB was not found.
• The file VBE6EXT.OLB is missing or corrupt.
• This application failed to start because VBE6EXT.OLB was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.

Your VBE6EXT.OLB file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with Microsoft Visio Premium 2010), or deleted by a malware infection. Furthermore, VBE6EXT.OLB file corruption could be caused from a power outage when loading Microsoft Visio Premium 2010, system crash while loading VBE6EXT.OLB, 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.
