What are niaservice.exe Error Messages?


niaservice.exe Runtime Errors

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

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

Some of the most common niaservice.exe errors include:

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

System Error


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poor programming on behalf of ClearApps, conflicts with other software or 3rd-party plug-ins, or caused by damaged and outdated hardware.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

Step 3: Perform a Windows Update.

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


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