What are SELFCERT.EXE Error Messages?


SELFCERT.EXE Runtime Errors

Runtime errors are Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2010 (64-bit) errors that occur during "runtime". Runtime is pretty self-explanatory; it means that these EXE errors are triggered when SELFCERT.EXE is attempted to be loaded either when Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2010 (64-bit) is starting up, or in some cases already running. Runtime errors are the most common form of EXE error you will encounter using Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2010 (64-bit).

In most cases, SELFCERT.EXE runtime errors occurring while the program is running will result in the program terminating abnormally. Most of these SELFCERT.EXE error messages mean that Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2010 (64-bit) was either unable to locate this file on startup, or the file is corrupt, resulting in a prematurely-aborted startup process. Generally, Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2010 (64-bit) will be unable to start without resolving these errors.

Some of the most common SELFCERT.EXE errors include:

  • SELFCERT.EXE - Bad Image.
