What are extension.conf Error Messages?


General extension.conf Runtime Errors

extension.conf file errors often occur during the startup phase of Crimson Editor, but can also occur while the program is running.

Most CONF errors are due to missing or corrupt files. Your extension.conf file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with Crimson Editor), or deleted by a malware infection.

Download extension.conf Files (Malware-Tested 100% Clean)


CAUTION : We strongly advise against downloading and copying extension.conf to your appropriate Windows system directory. Ingyu Kang typically does not release Crimson Editor CONF 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 extension.conf and all other CONF files for Crimson Editor. An incorrectly installed CONF file may create system instability and could cause your program or operating system to stop functioning altogether. Proceed with caution.
