This file is stored in the system32 folder and should be kept both undamaged and in the correct place in order not to be deleted. If any of these conditions are violated, a “Version.dll not found” or “missing error message” will appear.
1. Run SFC Scannow
Corrupted DLL files can be repaired by executing the SFC command. The SFC, or System File Checker, is a command-line tool used for repairing or restoring the integrity of system files, particularly DLL files. As Version.dll is a Microsoft file found in the system32 folder, we can attempt to restore it using the SFC command in the command prompt.
2. Uninstall the Mods (if applicable)
If the following error occurs when you’re launching games, you need to verify that the mods you’ve installed are not corrupted. Removing the mods temporarily is suggested to see if the error is fixed.
3. Reinstall the Game or Application
Reinstalling the game or application can help solve the issue since it completely removes the program files and associated data from your system. During the reinstallation process, the corrupted or missing DLL files, such as Version.dll, are also replaced with the new ones.
4. Manually download the Version.dll
If you wish to resolve this error message, you can manually download the DLL file from the internet and replace the corrupted DLL file with it. If you follow the steps to reinstall the DLL file correctly, this solution usually works. If none of the fixes work for you, you can use a system restore utility to revert to a previous state if you have created a restore point before facing this problem. Alternatively, you can reset your Windows system without losing any data. Before resetting Windows, it is advisable to perform a full system scan with either Windows Defender or a reliable antivirus software.
