Network Connectivity Issues
This is the most common issue that has been faced by quite a lot of Zoom users. In some cases, you might be able to load the Zoom client without any issue as such but wouldn’t be able to join in a meeting or access the Join link.
The following codes translate to the network issues: 5000, 5003, 5004, 104101, 104102, 104103, 104104, 104105, 104106, 104110, 104111, 104112, 104113, 104114, 104115, 104116, 104117, and 104118. In this regard, there are two different fixes that you could try out, as mentioned below.

Let’s now check out some of the other common Zoom problems, their error codes, and fixes.
XmppDll.Dll Is Missing
This error is usually shown when the installation is aborted in between or gets corrupted. As a result, the XmppDll.Dll didn’t get installed into the required Zoom directory.

Once that is done, launch the app and you should no longer face the XmppDll.Dll missing error.
Entry Point Not Found
Some users have also reported facing the “Entry Point Not Found” or “The procedure entry point could not be located” error message. As for this error, the issue stems out from the Microsoft Visual C++. Either it isn’t installed on your PC or some of its files are corrupted.

Furthermore, Error Code 0 could also be displayed when you are upgrading from Version 0.9 or 1.0. Along the same lines, the Error Code 10006 could be shown when the target directory is full.
