What are sqlservr.exe Error Messages?

sqlservr.exe Runtime Errors

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

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

Some of the most common sqlservr.exe errors include:

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

System Error

The program can’t start because sqlservr.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 sqlservr.exe error is key to properly resolving these errors. Although most of these EXE errors affecting sqlservr.exe will happen during startup, occasionally you will encounter a runtime error while using Microsoft SQL Server. 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on behalf of Microsoft Corporation, conflicts with other software or 3rd-party plug-ins, or caused by damaged and outdated hardware.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 sqlservr.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 sqlservr.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 sqlservr.exe issue. These troubleshooting steps are listed in the recommended order of execution.

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 sqlservr.exe error, please proceed to the Step 2 below.

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

Step 3: Perform a Windows Update.

Windows 10: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL10.SQLEXPRESS\MSSQL\Binn\

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

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