Runtime errors are the most common form of EXE error you will encounter using Canon Utilities PhotoStitch.

In most cases, UniversalUnInstaller.exe runtime errors occurring while the program is running will result in the program terminating abnormally. Most of these UniversalUnInstaller.exe error messages mean that Canon Utilities PhotoStitch was either unable to locate this file on startup, or the file is corrupt, resulting in a prematurely-aborted startup process.
