What are wmfdist64.exe Error Messages?


wmfdist64.exe Runtime Errors

Runtime errors are DWG TrueView errors that occur during "runtime". Runtime is pretty self-explanatory; it means that these EXE errors are triggered when wmfdist64.exe is attempted to be loaded either when DWG TrueView is starting up, or in some cases already running. Runtime errors are the most common form of EXE error you will encounter using DWG TrueView.

In most cases, wmfdist64.exe runtime errors occurring while the program is running will result in the program terminating abnormally. Most of these wmfdist64.exe error messages mean that DWG TrueView was either unable to locate this file on startup, or the file is corrupt, resulting in a prematurely-aborted startup process. Generally, DWG TrueView will be unable to start without resolving these errors.

Finding the source of the wmfdist64.exe error is key to properly resolving these errors. Although most of these EXE errors affecting wmfdist64.exe will happen during startup, occasionally you will encounter a runtime error while using Microsoft® Windows® Operating System.

Also, these types of wmfdist64.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.
