What are VixCOM.h Error Messages?


General VixCOM.h Runtime Errors

VixCOM.h file errors often occur during the startup phase of VMware Workstation, but can also occur while the program is running. These types H errors are also known as “runtime errors” because they occur while VMware Workstation is running. Here are some of the most common VixCOM.h runtime errors:

Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library

Runtime Error!

Program: C:\Program Files (x86)\VMware\VMware VIX\VixCOM\VixCOM.h

This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.


Most H errors are due to missing or corrupt files. Your VixCOM.h file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with VMware Workstation), or deleted by a malware infection. Furthermore, VixCOM.h file corruption could be caused from a power outage when loading VMware Workstation, system crash while loading or saving VixCOM.h, bad sectors on your storage media (usually your primary hard drive), or malware infection. Thus, it’s critical to make sure your anti-virus is kept up-to-date and scanning regularly.

  6. Restore your computer to that backup image.

If the Step 1 fails to resolve the VixCOM.h error, please proceed to the Step 2 below.

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

Download VixCOM.h Files (Malware-Tested 100% Clean)


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