What are InstallerUtils.exe Error Messages?


InstallerUtils.exe Runtime Errors

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

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

Some of the most common InstallerUtils.exe errors include:

  • InstallerUtils.exe - Bad Image.

Finding the source of the InstallerUtils.exe error is key to properly resolving these errors. Although most of these EXE errors affecting InstallerUtils.exe will happen during startup, occasionally you will encounter a runtime error while using RIM Desktop Platform.

Also, these types of InstallerUtils.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.

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


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