What are EPW.exe Error Messages?


EPW.exe Runtime Errors

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

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

Some of the most common EPW.exe errors include:

  • EPW.exe - Bad Image.
  • EPW.exe Application Error.
  • EPW.exe could not be found.

The program can’t start because EPW.exe is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem.

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

Finding the source of the EPW.exe error is key to properly resolving these errors. Although most of these EXE errors affecting EPW.exe will happen during startup, occasionally you will encounter a runtime error while using Extend Partition Wizard. This can occur due to poor programming on behalf of AOMEI Technology Co., Ltd, conflicts with other software or 3rd-party plug-ins, or caused by damaged and outdated hardware. Also, these types of EPW.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.

CAUTION : We strongly advise against downloading and copying EPW.exe to your appropriate Windows system directory. Aomei Tech typically does not release AOMEI Partition Assistant Standard Edition EXE files for download because they are bundled together inside of a software installer.
