What are DXSETUP.exe Error Messages?


DXSETUP.exe Runtime Errors

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

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

Some of the most common DXSETUP.exe errors include:

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


The program can’t start because DXSETUP.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 DXSETUP.exe error is key to properly resolving these errors. Although most of these EXE errors affecting DXSETUP.exe will happen during startup, occasionally you will encounter a runtime error while using Microsoft(R) DirectX for Windows(R). This can occur due to poor programming on behalf of Microsoft Corporation, conflicts with other software or 3rd-party plug-ins, or caused by damaged and outdated hardware. Also, these types of DXSETUP.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 DXSETUP.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 DXSETUP.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.

GEEK TIP : We must emphasize that reinstalling Windows will be a very time-consuming and advanced task to resolve DXSETUP.exe problems. To avoid data loss, you must be sure that you have backed-up all of your important documents, pictures, software installers, and other personal data before beginning the process. If you are not currently backing up your data, you need to do so immediately.



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


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