What are UninstallStub.exe Error Messages?

UninstallStub.exe Runtime Errors

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

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

Some of the most common UninstallStub.exe errors include:

UninstallStub.exe - Bad Image.
UninstallStub.exe Application Error.
UninstallStub.exe could not be found.
UninstallStub.exe could not be installed.
UninstallStub.exe could not be launched. Class not registered.
UninstallStub.exe could not be started.
UninstallStub.exe failed to initialize properly.
UninstallStub.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
UninstallStub.exe is not a valid Win32 application.

Cannot find UninstallStub.exe.
Error starting program: UninstallStub.exe.
Faulting Application Path: UninstallStub.exe.
The file UninstallStub.exe is missing or corrupt.
Windows failed to start - UninstallStub.exe.

System Error

The program can’t start because UninstallStub.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 UninstallStub.exe error is key to properly resolving these errors. Although most of these EXE errors affecting UninstallStub.exe will happen during startup, occasionally you will encounter a runtime error while using Slimware Uninstall Stub. This can occur due to poor programming on behalf of Slimware Utilities Holdings, Inc., conflicts with other software or 3rd-party plug-ins, or caused by damaged and outdated hardware. Also, these types of UninstallStub.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 UninstallStub.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 UninstallStub.exe issue. These troubleshooting steps are listed in the recommended order of execution.

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 UninstallStub.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)

After the update is completed, restart your PC.

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

We maintain a comprehensive database of 100% malware-free UninstallStub.exe files for every applicable version of SlimCleaner Free.
