What are petst.exe Error Messages?


petst.exe Runtime Errors

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

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

Some of the most common petst.exe errors include:

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


The program can’t start because petst.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 petst.exe error is key to properly resolving these errors. Although most of these EXE errors affecting petst.exe will happen during startup, occasionally you will encounter a runtime error while using PerformanceTest 9. This can occur due to poor programming on behalf of Passmark Software, conflicts with other software or 3rd-party plug-ins, or caused by damaged and outdated hardware. Also, these types of petst.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 petst.exe Errors in 3 Steps (Time to complete: ~5-15 minutes)

If you're encountering one of the error messages above, follow these troubleshooting steps to resolve your petst.exe issue. These troubleshooting steps are listed in the recommended order of execution.


Step 1: Restore your PC back to the latest restore point, "snapshot", or backup image before error occurred.

To begin System Restore (Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, and 10):

  1. Hit the Windows Start button
  2. When you see the search box, type "System Restore" and press "ENTER".
  3. In the search results, find and click System Restore.
  4. Please enter the administrator password (if applicable / prompted).
  5. Follow the steps in the System Restore Wizard to choose a relevant restore point.
  6. Restore your computer to that backup image.

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

Step 2: If recently installed PerformanceTest (or related software), uninstall then try reinstalling PerformanceTest software.

You can uninstall PerformanceTest software by following these instructions (Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, and 10):

  1. Hit the Windows Start button
  2. In the search box, type "Uninstall" and press "ENTER".
  3. In the search results, find and click "Add or Remove Programs"

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 petst.exe error messages that are encountered can be contributed to an outdated Windows Operating System. To run Windows Update, please follow these easy steps:

  1. Hit the Windows Start button
  2. In the search box, type "Update" and press "ENTER".
  3. In the Windows Update dialog box, click "Check for Updates" (or similar button depending on your Windows version)
  4. If updates are available for download, click "Install Updates".
  5. After the update is completed, restart your PC.

If Windows Update failed to resolve the petst.exe error message, please proceed to next step. Please note that this final step is recommended for advanced PC users only.

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


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