Cannot open 3D slicer because of missing vtkcommon-8.2.dll files

Hi~,

3D slicer cannot be opened suddenly and it gave a warning message which said cannot find the vtkcommon-8.2.dll file. I reinstalled 3D slicer and still got that message. Could you help me to fixed it?

If you used something other than 4.10.2, then please try the latest stable: https://download.slicer.org/

Have you launched the application by running Slicer.exe?
Does vtkCommon-8.2.dll exist?

Thanks for your reply. I try the latest stable one. It did not work.

Yes. But it showed the same warning. I check the bin folder. vtkCommon-8.2.dll does not exist.

It existed before I launched Slicer.exe

Do you have any anti-virus product installed? Maybe the dll is mistaken for malware and quarantined.

Yes. It works after I close the anti-virus product. Thank you.
