What are dcraw.exe Error Messages?


dcraw.exe Runtime Errors

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

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

Some of the most common dcraw.exe errors include:

  • dcraw.exe - Bad Image.
  • dcraw.exe Application Error.
  • dcraw.exe could not be found.
  • dcraw.exe could not be installed.
  • dcraw.exe could not be launched. Class not registered.
  • dcraw.exe could not be started.
  • dcraw.exe failed to initialize properly.
  • dcraw.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
  • dcraw.exe is not a valid Win32 application.
  • dcraw.exe is not running.
  • Cannot find dcraw.exe.
  • Error starting program: dcraw.exe.
  • Faulting Application Path: dcraw.exe.
  • The file dcraw.exe is missing or corrupt.
  • Windows failed to start - dcraw.exe.
System Error


The program can’t start because dcraw.exe is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem.

Thus, it's critical to make sure your anti-virus is kept up-to-date and scanning regularly.

Finding the source of the dcraw.exe error is key to properly resolving these errors. Although most of these EXE errors affecting dcraw.exe will happen during startup, occasionally you will encounter a runtime error while using Free Opener 1. This can occur due to poor programming on behalf of EZ Freeware, conflicts with other software or 3rd-party plug-ins, or caused by damaged and outdated hardware. Also, these types of dcraw.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.



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


Step 1: Restore your PC back to the latest restore point, "snapshot", or backup image before error occurred.

Step 3: Perform a Windows Update.

When the first two steps haven't solved your issue, it might be a good idea to run Windows Update. Many dcraw.exe error messages that are encountered can be contributed to an outdated Windows Operating System. To run Windows Update, please follow these easy steps:

  1. Hit the Windows Start button
  2. In the search box, type "Update" and press "ENTER".
  3. In the Windows Update dialog box, click "Check for Updates" (or similar button depending on your Windows version)
  4. If updates are available for download, click "Install Updates".
  5. After the update is completed, restart your PC.

If Windows Update failed to resolve the dcraw.exe error message, please proceed to next step. Please note that this final step is recommended for advanced PC users only.



If Those Steps Fail: Download and Replace Your dcraw.exe File (Caution: Advanced)

We maintain a comprehensive database of 100% malware-free dcraw.exe files for every applicable version of Free Opener. Please follow the steps below to download and properly replace you file:

    Windows 10: C:\Program Files\Zoner\Photo Studio 19\Program64\
    Windows 10: C:\Program Files\Zoner\Photo Studio 19\Program32\
    Windows 10: C:\Program Files\Free Opener\Views\Raw\
  4. Restart your computer.

GEEK TIP : We must emphasize that reinstalling Windows will be a very time-consuming and advanced task to resolve dcraw.exe problems.

If you are not currently backing up your data, you need to do so immediately.



Download dcraw.exe Files (Malware-Tested 100% Clean)


CAUTION : We strongly advise against downloading and copying dcraw.exe to your appropriate Windows system directory. EZ Freeware typically does not release Free Opener EXE 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 dcraw.exe and all other EXE files for Free Opener. An incorrectly installed EXE file may create system instability and could cause your program or operating system to stop functioning altogether. Proceed with caution.
