What are DTHelper.exe Error Messages?


DTHelper.exe Runtime Errors

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

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

Some of the most common DTHelper.exe errors include:

  • DTHelper.exe - Bad Image.
  • DTHelper.exe Application Error.
  • DTHelper.exe could not be found.
  • DTHelper.exe could not be installed.
  • DTHelper.exe could not be launched. Class not registered.
  • DTHelper.exe could not be started.

System Error


The program can’t start because DTHelper.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 DTHelper.exe error is key to properly resolving these errors. Although most of these EXE errors affecting DTHelper.exe will happen during startup, occasionally you will encounter a runtime error while using DAEMON Tools Pro. This can occur due to poor programming on behalf of Disc Soft Ltd, conflicts with other software or 3rd-party plug-ins, or caused by damaged and outdated hardware. Also, these types of DTHelper.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.

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 DTHelper.exe error messages that are encountered can be contributed to an outdated Windows Operating System. To run Windows Update, please follow these easy steps:

  5. After the update is completed, restart your PC.

If Windows Update failed to resolve the DTHelper.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 DTHelper.exe File (Caution: Advanced)

If none of the previous three troubleshooting steps have resolved your issue, you can try a more aggressive approach (Note: Not recommended for amateur PC users) by downloading and replacing your appropriate DTHelper.exe file version. We maintain a comprehensive database of 100% malware-free DTHelper.exe files for every applicable version of DAEMON Tools. Please follow the steps below to download and properly replace you file:

  1. Locate your Windows operating system version in the list of below "Download DTHelper.exe Files".
  2. Click the appropriate "Download Now" button and download your Windows file version.
  3. Copy this file to the appropriate DAEMON Tools folder location:
    Windows 10: C:\Program Files\DAEMON Tools Pro\
    Windows 10: C:\Program Files\DAEMON Tools Lite\
  4. Restart your computer.

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

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


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