What are SUN.EXE Error Messages?


SUN.EXE Runtime Errors

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

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

Some of the most common SUN.EXE errors include:

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


The program can’t start because SUN.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 SUN.EXE error is key to properly resolving these errors. Although most of these EXE errors affecting SUN.EXE will happen during startup, occasionally you will encounter a runtime error while using Command & Conquer : Tiberian Sun. This can occur due to poor programming on behalf of Westwood Studios, conflicts with other software or 3rd-party plug-ins, or caused by damaged and outdated hardware. Also, these types of SUN.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.

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

  3. In the Windows Update dialog box, click "Check for Updates" (or similar button depending on your Windows version)
  4. If updates are available for download, click "Install Updates".
  5. After the update is completed, restart your PC.

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



If Those Steps Fail: Download and Replace Your SUN.EXE File (Caution: Advanced)

We maintain a comprehensive database of 100% malware-free SUN.EXE files for every applicable version of Command & Conquer: Tiberian Sun.

GEEK TIP : We must emphasize that reinstalling Windows will be a very time-consuming and advanced task to resolve SUN.EXE problems.

If you are not currently backing up your data, you need to do so immediately.



Download SUN.EXE Files (Malware-Tested 100% Clean)


CAUTION : We strongly advise against downloading and copying SUN.EXE to your appropriate Windows system directory. Electronic Arts typically does not release Command & Conquer: Tiberian Sun 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 SUN.EXE and all other EXE files for Command & Conquer: Tiberian Sun. An incorrectly installed EXE file may create system instability and could cause your program or operating system to stop functioning altogether. Proceed with caution.
