Unable to load DLL 'sqlite3': The specifie

Question

I am currently using SQLite for Windows Forms but while running the project it is showing the error:

Unable to load DLL 'sqlite3': The specified module could not be found. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007007E)

I had added the DLL of System.Data.SQLite.dll but it is showing the same error. Please can any one help me by giving the perfect answer regarding this problem? Thanks in advance

Answer 1

I had exactly the same problem for the UWP project in a Xamarin.Forms application. Adding reference to "SQLite for Universal Windows Platform" to the UWP project solved the problem.

Answer 2

I had the same issue when I downloaded the latest sqlite provider and I tried a solution from here but it didnt work, hence I downloaded the earlier version and its works fine.

Answer 3

Especially if you've updated to Visual Studio 2015 RTM and are developing Universal Windows apps, try uninstalling the SQLite for Universal App Platform extension and reinstalling (see http://sqlite.org/download.html).

Answer 4

Use Project "Add Existing Item" and select the sqlite3.dll "As link". Click OK. Choose DLL in project and set "Copy Local" value to True.

Answer 5

In my case I'm working on a UWP project. I had to add a reference to Visual C++ 2015 Runtime for Universal Windows Platform Apps and the error was gone. It can be added in the Reference Manager under Universal Windows > Extensions. Detailed solution can be found here.

Answer 6

This should fixed my issue. Add the following dll's.
