Error 623: ERROR_ILLEGAL_DLL_RELOCATION

Windows Error Code Lookup: Decode Windows error codes: Win32, HRESULT (0x80070005), NTSTATUS, Windows Update, msiexec and blue-screen stop codes, with what to check next.

Paste the number from an error dialog, event log, script or setup log: 0x80070005, 80070005, -2147024891, 1603, 0xC0000005, a stop code like 0x7E, a name like E_ACCESSDENIED, or a few words. You get every way Windows could mean that number (an HRESULT often wraps a Win32 error, so 0x80070005 is "Access is denied" too), its parts decoded, and what to check for the common ones. Names and messages come from the Windows SDK headers and Windows' own message tables; see Microsoft's System Error Codes and [MS-ERREF] for the full references.

Try: 0x80070005, 1603, 0xC0000005, 0x800F081F, 0x8024402C, 0x7E, access denied

0x0000026F = 623

Win32 error 623 (0x26F)

ERROR_ILLEGAL_DLL_RELOCATION

{Illegal System DLL Relocation} The system DLL %hs was relocated in memory. The application will not run properly. The relocation occurred because the DLL %hs occupied an address range reserved for Windows system DLLs. The vendor supplying the DLL should be contacted for a new DLL.

%1, %2… are where Windows fills in details such as a file or program name.

As an HRESULT (HRESULT_FROM_WIN32): 0x8007026F
