LibWrapper.winmd is considered a type of Dynamic Link Library (DLL) file. Dynamic Link Library files, like LibWrapper.winmd, are essentially a "guide book" that stores information and instructions for executable (EXE) files - like HelpPane.exe - to follow. These files were created so that multiple programs (eg. Microsoft Office Access 2010) could share the same LibWrapper.winmd 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 WINMD 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 LibWrapper.winmd is attempted to be loaded either when Microsoft Office Access 2010 is starting up, or in some cases already running. Some of the most common LibWrapper.winmd errors include:
- Access Violation at address - LibWrapper.winmd.
- LibWrapper.winmd could not be found.
- Cannot find C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\Microsoft.SkypeApp_14.56.102.0_x64__kzf8qxf38zg5c\LibWrapper.winmd.
- Cannot register LibWrapper.winmd.
- Cannot start Microsoft Office Access 2010. A required component is missing: LibWrapper.winmd. Please install Microsoft Office Access 2010 again.
- Failed to load LibWrapper.winmd.
- The application has failed to start because LibWrapper.winmd was not found.
- The file LibWrapper.winmd is missing or corrupt.
- This application failed to start because LibWrapper.winmd was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.
Your LibWrapper.winmd file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with Microsoft Office Access 2010), or deleted by a malware infection. Furthermore, LibWrapper.winmd file corruption could be caused from a power outage when loading Microsoft Office Access 2010, system crash while loading LibWrapper.winmd, 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.
