DotNetInstaller.exe Runtime Errors

Runtime errors are PC Inspector Smart Recovery errors that occur during "runtime". Runtime is pretty self-explanatory; it means that these EXE errors are triggered when DotNetInstaller.exe is attempted to be loaded either when PC Inspector Smart Recovery is starting up, or in some cases already running. Runtime errors are the most common form of EXE error you will encounter using PC Inspector Smart Recovery.

In most cases, DotNetInstaller.exe runtime errors occurring while the program is running will result in the program terminating abnormally. Most of these DotNetInstaller.exe error messages mean that PC Inspector Smart Recovery was either unable to locate this file on startup, or the file is corrupt, resulting in a prematurely-aborted startup process. Generally, PC Inspector Smart Recovery will be unable to start without resolving these errors.

Finding the source of the DotNetInstaller.exe error is key to properly resolving these errors. Although most of these EXE errors affecting DotNetInstaller.exe will happen during startup, occasionally you will encounter a runtime error while using InstallShield (R).
