What are INFMAIN.AW Error Messages?


General INFMAIN.AW Runtime Errors

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

Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library

Runtime Error!

Program: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\1033\INFMAIN.AW

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


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



How to Fix INFMAIN.AW 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 INFMAIN.AW issue. These troubleshooting steps are listed in the recommended order of execution.

Download INFMAIN.AW Files (Malware-Tested 100% Clean)


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