Runtime errors are the most common form of EXE error you will encounter using NETGEAR Genie.

In most cases, NETGEARGenie-install.exe runtime errors occurring while the program is running will result in the program terminating abnormally. Most of these NETGEARGenie-install.exe error messages mean that NETGEAR Genie was either unable to locate this file on startup, or the file is corrupt, resulting in a prematurely-aborted startup process.
