What are gacutil.exe Error Messages?

gacutil.exe Runtime Errors

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

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

Some of the most common gacutil.exe errors include:

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

System Error

The program can’t start because gacutil.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 gacutil.exe error is key to properly resolving these errors. Although most of these EXE errors affecting gacutil.exe will happen during startup, occasionally you will encounter a runtime error while using Microsoft .NET Framework. 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on behalf of Microsoft Corporation, conflicts with other software or 3rd-party plug-ins, or caused by damaged and outdated hardware.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 gacutil.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 gacutil.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 gacutil.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.

To begin System Restore (Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, and 10):

Hit the Windows Start button
When you see the search box, type "System Restore" and press "ENTER".
In the search results, find and click System Restore.
Please enter the administrator password (if applicable / prompted).
Follow the steps in the System Restore Wizard to choose a relevant restore point.
Restore your computer to that backup image.

If the Step 1 fails to resolve the gacutil.exe error, please proceed to the Step 2 below.

Step 2: If recently installed Bible Pro (or related software), uninstall then try reinstalling Bible Pro software.

You can uninstall Bible Pro software by following these instructions (Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, and 10):

Hit the Windows Start button
In the search box, type "Uninstall" and press "ENTER".
In the search results, find and click "Add or Remove Programs"

Bible Pro 14.3

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

Hit the Windows Start button
In the search box, type "Update" and press "ENTER".
In the Windows Update dialog box, click "Check for Updates" (or similar button depending on your Windows version)

After the update is completed, restart your PC.

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

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

Show 2 more directories +
Windows 10: C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322\
Windows 10: C:\DotNet\Win\Microsoft.NET\Framework\URTInstallPath\
Restart your computer.

If this final step has failed and you're still encountering the error, you're only remaining option is to do a clean installation of Windows 10.

GEEK TIP : We must emphasize that reinstalling Windows will be a very time-consuming and advanced task to resolve gacutil.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 gacutil.exe Files (Malware-Tested 100% Clean)

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