What are iehelper.exe Error Messages?


iehelper.exe Runtime Errors

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

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

Some of the most common iehelper.exe errors include:

  • iehelper.exe - Bad Image.
  • iehelper.exe Application Error.
  • iehelper.exe could not be found.
  • iehelper.exe could not be installed.
  • iehelper.exe could not be launched. Class not registered.

System Error


The program can’t start because iehelper.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 iehelper.exe error is key to properly resolving these errors. Although most of these EXE errors affecting iehelper.exe will happen during startup, occasionally you will encounter a runtime error while using Glary Utilities. This can occur due to poor programming on behalf of Glarysoft Ltd, conflicts with other software or 3rd-party plug-ins, or caused by damaged and outdated hardware. Also, these types of iehelper.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.

Download iehelper.exe Files (Malware-Tested 100% Clean)


CAUTION : We strongly advise against downloading and copying iehelper.exe to your appropriate Windows system directory. Glarysoft Ltd. typically does not release Glary Utilities EXE 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 iehelper.exe and all other EXE files for Glary Utilities. An incorrectly installed EXE file may create system instability and could cause your program or operating system to stop functioning altogether. Proceed with caution.
