What are TrueCrypt.exe Error Messages?

TrueCrypt.exe Runtime Errors

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

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

Some of the most common TrueCrypt.exe errors include:

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

System Error

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on behalf of TrueCrypt Foundation, conflicts with other software or 3rd-party plug-ins, or caused by damaged and outdated hardware.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

How to Fix TrueCrypt.exe Errors in 3 Steps (Time to complete: ~5-15 minutes)

If you're encountering one of the error messages above, follow these troubleshooting steps to resolve your TrueCrypt.exe issue. These troubleshooting steps are listed in the recommended order of execution.

Step 1: Restore your PC back to the latest restore point, "snapshot", or backup image before error occurred.

To begin System Restore (Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, and 10):

Hit the Windows Start button
When you see the search box, type "System Restore" and press "ENTER".
In the search results, find and click System Restore.
Please enter the administrator password (if applicable / prompted).
Follow the steps in the System Restore Wizard to choose a relevant restore point.
Restore your computer to that backup image.

If the Step 1 fails to resolve the TrueCrypt.exe error, please proceed to the Step 2 below.

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

Step 3: Perform a Windows Update.

When the first two steps haven't solved your issue, it might be a good idea to run Windows Update. Many TrueCrypt.exe error messages that are encountered can be contributed to an outdated Windows Operating System. To run Windows Update, please follow these easy steps:

Hit the Windows Start button
In the search box, type "Update" and press "ENTER".
In the Windows Update dialog box, click "Check for Updates" (or similar button depending on your Windows version)
If updates are available for download, click "Install Updates".
After the update is completed, restart your PC.

If Windows Update failed to resolve the TrueCrypt.exe error message, please proceed to next step. Please note that this final step is recommended for advanced PC users only.

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

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