What are ShellExec.exe Error Messages?


ShellExec.exe Runtime Errors

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

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

Some of the most common ShellExec.exe errors include:

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

System Error


The program can’t start because ShellExec.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 ShellExec.exe error is key to properly resolving these errors. Although most of these EXE errors affecting ShellExec.exe will happen during startup, occasionally you will encounter a runtime error while using iClone 7.41.2525. This can occur due to poor programming on behalf of Reallusion, Inc., conflicts with other software or 3rd-party plug-ins, or caused by damaged and outdated hardware. Also, these types of ShellExec.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 ShellExec.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 ShellExec.exe issue. These troubleshooting steps are listed in the recommended order of execution.

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


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