What are wbconfig.exe Error Messages?


wbconfig.exe Runtime Errors

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

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

Some of the most common wbconfig.exe errors include:

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


The program can’t start because wbconfig.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 wbconfig.exe error is key to properly resolving these errors. Although most of these EXE errors affecting wbconfig.exe will happen during startup, occasionally you will encounter a runtime error while using WindowBlinds 7. This can occur due to poor programming on behalf of Stardock Corporation, conflicts with other software or 3rd-party plug-ins, or caused by damaged and outdated hardware. Also, these types of wbconfig.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 wbconfig.exe Files (Malware-Tested 100% Clean)


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