What are NWABuild.exe Error Messages?


NWABuild.exe Runtime Errors

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

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

Some of the most common NWABuild.exe errors include:

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

System Error


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on behalf of Stardock Corporation, conflicts with other software or 3rd-party plug-ins, or caused by damaged and outdated hardware.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

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