What are WinSvc.ini Error Messages?


General WinSvc.ini Runtime Errors

WinSvc.ini file errors often occur during the startup phase of Driver Booster, but can also occur while the program is running. These types INI errors are also known as “runtime errors” because they occur while Driver Booster is running. Here are some of the most common WinSvc.ini runtime errors:

Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library

Runtime Error!

Program: C:\Program Files (x86)\IObit\Driver Booster\7.0.2\Boost\WinSvc.ini

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


Most INI errors are due to missing or corrupt files. Your WinSvc.ini file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with Driver Booster), or deleted by a malware infection. Furthermore, WinSvc.ini file corruption could be caused from a power outage when loading Driver Booster, system crash while loading or saving WinSvc.ini, 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.

Download WinSvc.ini Files (Malware-Tested 100% Clean)


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