What are ToolFileLock.exe Error Messages?


ToolFileLock.exe Runtime Errors

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

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

Some of the most common ToolFileLock.exe errors include:

  • ToolFileLock.exe - Bad Image.
  • ToolFileLock.exe Application Error.
  • ToolFileLock.exe could not be found.
  • ToolFileLock.exe could not be installed.
  • ToolFileLock.exe could not be launched. Class not registered.

Thus, it's critical to make sure your anti-virus is kept up-to-date and scanning regularly.

Finding the source of the ToolFileLock.exe error is key to properly resolving these errors. Although most of these EXE errors affecting ToolFileLock.exe will happen during startup, occasionally you will encounter a runtime error while using WinUtilities EXE Protect. This can occur due to poor programming on behalf of YL Software, conflicts with other software or 3rd-party plug-ins, or caused by damaged and outdated hardware. Also, these types of ToolFileLock.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.
