What are DWFViewer.exe Error Messages?


DWFViewer.exe Runtime Errors

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

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

Some of the most common DWFViewer.exe errors include:

  • DWFViewer.exe - Bad Image.
  • DWFViewer.exe Application Error.
  • DWFViewer.exe could not be found.
  • DWFViewer.exe could not be installed.
  • DWFViewer.exe could not be launched. Class not registered.
  • DWFViewer.exe could not be started.
  • DWFViewer.exe failed to initialize properly.
  • DWFViewer.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.

Thus, it's critical to make sure your anti-virus is kept up-to-date and scanning regularly.

Finding the source of the DWFViewer.exe error is key to properly resolving these errors. Although most of these EXE errors affecting DWFViewer.exe will happen during startup, occasionally you will encounter a runtime error while using Autodesk DWF Viewer. This can occur due to poor programming on behalf of Autodesk, Inc., conflicts with other software or 3rd-party plug-ins, or caused by damaged and outdated hardware. Also, these types of DWFViewer.exe errors can occur if it has been accidentally moved, deleted, or corrupted by a malware infection. Thus, it's critical to make sure your anti-virus is kept up-to-date and scanning regularly.
