DLL stands for Dynamic Link Libraries and are external parts of applications that run on Windows or any other operating systems. Most applications are not complete in themselves and store code in different files. If there is a need for the code, the related file is loaded into memory and used. If the OS or software is not able to find the concerned DLL file, or if the DLL file is corrupted, you could receive a DLL file is missing message.

If the DLL file is missing, then downloading the missing dll file from the internet and pasting it to a particular place is not the actual solution. You can try that method, but you may not get any positive result from it.

Reinstalling the program that is throwing up this error may help, so try it. Perhaps its installation package includes this file.

The other option to solve this problem is to install Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio on your computer.Close all your open application using the program window or the Task Manager. Having done this, you can go and download it from Microsoft. Install the Runtime component and restart your computer and see. You may want to also run an antivirus scan.

DLLs (Dynamic-Link Libraries) are shared libraries in Microsoft Windows, implemented by Microsoft Corporation. DLL files are just as important as files with an EXE extension, and DLL archives are simply impossible to implement without tools with .exe extension.:
