What are vso_install_engine.exe Error Messages?

vso_install_engine.exe Runtime Errors

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

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