What are SDInit.exe Error Messages?


SDInit.exe Runtime Errors

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

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

Some of the most common SDInit.exe errors include:

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


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to poor programming on behalf of IObit, conflicts with other software or 3rd-party plug-ins, or caused by damaged and outdated hardware.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

  6. Restore your computer to that backup image.

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

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

CAUTION : We strongly advise against downloading and copying SDInit.exe to your appropriate Windows system directory. IObit typically does not release Smart Defrag EXE files for download because they are bundled together inside of a software installer.
