What are FoxitPreviewhost.exe Error Messages?


FoxitPreviewhost.exe Runtime Errors

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

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