What are msotd.exe Error Messages?

msotd.exe Runtime Errors

Runtime errors are Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2013 errors that occur during "runtime". Runtime is pretty self-explanatory; it means that these EXE errors are triggered when msotd.exe is attempted to be loaded either when Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2013 is starting up, or in some cases already running. Runtime errors are the most common form of EXE error you will encounter using Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2013.

In most cases, msotd.exe runtime errors occurring while the program is running will result in the program terminating abnormally. Most of these msotd.exe error messages mean that Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2013 was either unable to locate this file on startup, or the file is corrupt, resulting in a prematurely-aborted startup process. Generally, Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2013 will be unable to start without resolving these errors.

Some of the most common msotd.exe errors include:

msotd.exe - Bad Image.
msotd.exe Application Error.
msotd.exe could not be found.
msotd.exe could not be installed.
msotd.exe could not be launched. Class not registered.
msotd.exe could not be started.
msotd.exe failed to initialize properly.
msotd.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
msotd.exe is not a valid Win32 application.
msotd.exe is not running.
Cannot find msotd.exe.
Error starting program: msotd.exe.
Faulting Application Path: msotd.exe.
The file msotd.exe is missing or corrupt.
Windows failed to start - msotd.exe.

System Error

The program can’t start because msotd.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 msotd.exe error is key to properly resolving these errors. Although most of these EXE errors affecting msotd.exe will happen during startup, occasionally you will encounter a runtime error while using Microsoft Office 2013. This can occur due to poor programming on behalf of Microsoft Corporation, conflicts with other software or 3rd-party plug-ins, or caused by damaged and outdated hardware. Also, these types of msotd.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.

How to Fix msotd.exe Errors in 3 Steps (Time to complete: ~5-15 minutes)

Restore your computer to that backup image.

If the Step 1 fails to resolve the msotd.exe error, please proceed to the Step 2 below.

Step 2: If recently installed Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2013 (or related software), uninstall then try reinstalling Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2013 software.

Step 3: Perform a Windows Update.

When the first two steps haven't solved your issue, it might be a good idea to run Windows Update. Many msotd.exe error messages that are encountered can be contributed to an outdated Windows Operating System. To run Windows Update, please follow these easy steps:

In the Windows Update dialog box, click "Check for Updates" (or similar button depending on your Windows version)

Windows 10: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office15\
Windows 10: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office15\

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

CAUTION : We strongly advise against downloading and copying msotd.exe to your appropriate Windows system directory. Microsoft typically does not release Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2013 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 msotd.exe and all other EXE files for Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2013. An incorrectly installed EXE file may create system instability and could cause your program or operating system to stop functioning altogether. Proceed with caution.
