What are powerarc.exe Error Messages?

powerarc.exe Runtime Errors

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

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

Some of the most common powerarc.exe errors include:

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

System Error

The program can’t start because powerarc.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 powerarc.exe error is key to properly resolving these errors. Although most of these EXE errors affecting powerarc.exe will happen during startup, occasionally you will encounter a runtime error while using PowerArchiver 2018. This can occur due to poor programming on behalf of ConeXware, Inc., conflicts with other software or 3rd-party plug-ins, or caused by damaged and outdated hardware. Also, these types of powerarc.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 powerarc.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 powerarc.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.

Restore your computer to that backup image.

Step 3: Perform a Windows Update.
