What are factor.bat Error Messages?


General factor.bat Runtime Errors

factor.bat file errors often occur during the startup phase of ActivePerl, but can also occur while the program is running. These types BAT errors are also known as “runtime errors” because they occur while ActivePerl is running. Here are some of the most common factor.bat runtime errors:

Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library

Runtime Error!

Program: C:\Perl64\bin\factor.bat

This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.


Most BAT errors are due to missing or corrupt files. Your factor.bat file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with ActivePerl), or deleted by a malware infection. Furthermore, factor.bat file corruption could be caused from a power outage when loading ActivePerl, system crash while loading or saving factor.bat, bad sectors on your storage media (usually your primary hard drive), or malware infection. Thus, it’s critical to make sure your anti-virus is kept up-to-date and scanning regularly.

GEEK TIP : We must emphasize that reinstalling Windows will be a very time-consuming and advanced task to resolve factor.bat problems.

If you are not currently backing up your data, you need to do so immediately.



Download factor.bat Files (Malware-Tested 100% Clean)


CAUTION : We strongly advise against downloading and copying factor.bat to your appropriate Windows system directory. ActiveState typically does not release ActivePerl BAT files for download because they are bundled together inside of a software installer. The installer's task is to ensure that all correct verifications have been made before installing and placing factor.bat and all other BAT files for ActivePerl. An incorrectly installed BAT file may create system instability and could cause your program or operating system to stop functioning altogether. Proceed with caution.
