What are SFAUpdater.exe Error Messages?


SFAUpdater.exe Runtime Errors

Runtime errors are Alcohol 120% errors that occur during "runtime". Runtime is pretty self-explanatory; it means that these EXE errors are triggered when SFAUpdater.exe is attempted to be loaded either when Alcohol 120% is starting up, or in some cases already running. Runtime errors are the most common form of EXE error you will encounter using Alcohol 120%.

In most cases, SFAUpdater.exe runtime errors occurring while the program is running will result in the program terminating abnormally. Most of these SFAUpdater.exe error messages mean that Alcohol 120% was either unable to locate this file on startup, or the file is corrupt, resulting in a prematurely-aborted startup process. Generally, Alcohol 120% will be unable to start without resolving these errors.

Some of the most common SFAUpdater.exe errors include:

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


The program can’t start because SFAUpdater.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 SFAUpdater.exe error is key to properly resolving these errors. Although most of these EXE errors affecting SFAUpdater.exe will happen during startup, occasionally you will encounter a runtime error while using Smart File Advisor. This can occur due to poor programming on behalf of Filefacts.net, conflicts with other software or 3rd-party plug-ins, or caused by damaged and outdated hardware. Also, these types of SFAUpdater.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 SFAUpdater.exe error, please proceed to the Step 2 below.

Step 2: If recently installed Alcohol 120% (or related software), uninstall then try reinstalling Alcohol 120% software.

CAUTION : We strongly advise against downloading and copying SFAUpdater.exe to your appropriate Windows system directory. Alcohol Soft typically does not release Alcohol 120% 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 SFAUpdater.exe and all other EXE files for Alcohol 120%. An incorrectly installed EXE file may create system instability and could cause your program or operating system to stop functioning altogether. Proceed with caution.
