What are sm8-setup.exe Error Messages?


sm8-setup.exe Runtime Errors

Runtime errors are Start Menu 8 errors that occur during "runtime". Runtime is pretty self-explanatory; it means that these EXE errors are triggered when sm8-setup.exe is attempted to be loaded either when Start Menu 8 is starting up, or in some cases already running. Runtime errors are the most common form of EXE error you will encounter using Start Menu 8.

In most cases, sm8-setup.exe runtime errors occurring while the program is running will result in the program terminating abnormally. Most of these sm8-setup.exe error messages mean that Start Menu 8 was either unable to locate this file on startup, or the file is corrupt, resulting in a prematurely-aborted startup process. Generally, Start Menu 8 will be unable to start without resolving these errors.
