What are sort.exe Error Messages?


sort.exe Runtime Errors

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

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

Some of the most common sort.exe errors include:

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


The program can’t start because sort.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 sort.exe error is key to properly resolving these errors. Although most of these EXE errors affecting sort.exe will happen during startup, occasionally you will encounter a runtime error while using UltraEdit 26.20.0.1. This can occur due to poor programming on behalf of IDM Computer Solutions, conflicts with other software or 3rd-party plug-ins, or caused by damaged and outdated hardware. Also, these types of sort.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.

GEEK TIP : We must emphasize that reinstalling Windows will be a very time-consuming and advanced task to resolve sort.exe problems. To avoid data loss, you must be sure that you have backed-up all of your important documents, pictures, software installers, and other personal data before beginning the process. If you are not currently backing up your data, you need to do so immediately.



Download sort.exe Files (Malware-Tested 100% Clean)


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