What are metadata.htm Error Messages?


General metadata.htm Runtime Errors

metadata.htm file errors often occur during the startup phase of DAZ Studio, but can also occur while the program is running. These types HTM errors are also known as “runtime errors” because they occur while DAZ Studio is running. Here are some of the most common metadata.htm runtime errors:

Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library

Runtime Error!

Program: C:\Program Files\DAZ 3D\DAZStudio4\docs\DAZ Studio\metadata.htm

This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.


Most HTM errors are due to missing or corrupt files. Your metadata.htm file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with DAZ Studio), or deleted by a malware infection. Furthermore, metadata.htm file corruption could be caused from a power outage when loading DAZ Studio, system crash while loading or saving metadata.htm, bad sectors on your storage media (usually your primary hard drive), or malware infection. Thus, it’s critical to make sure your anti-virus is kept up-to-date and scanning regularly.



How to Fix metadata.htm 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 metadata.htm issue. These troubleshooting steps are listed in the recommended order of execution.


Step 1: Restore your PC back to the latest restore point, "snapshot", or backup image before error occurred.

To begin System Restore (Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, and 10):

  1. Hit the Windows Start button
  2. When you see the search box, type "System Restore" and press "ENTER".
  3. In the search results, find and click System Restore.
  4. Please enter the administrator password (if applicable / prompted).
  5. Follow the steps in the System Restore Wizard to choose a relevant restore point.
  6. Restore your computer to that backup image.

If the Step 1 fails to resolve the metadata.htm error, please proceed to the Step 2 below.

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

You can uninstall DAZ Studio software by following these instructions (Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, and 10):

  1. Hit the Windows Start button
  2. In the search box, type "Uninstall" and press "ENTER".

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

  1. Hit the Windows Start button
  2. In the search box, type "Update" and press "ENTER".
  3. In the Windows Update dialog box, click "Check for Updates" (or similar button depending on your Windows version)

  5. After the update is completed, restart your PC.

If Windows Update failed to resolve the metadata.htm 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 metadata.htm File (Caution: Advanced)

If none of the previous three troubleshooting steps have resolved your issue, you can try a more aggressive approach (Note: Not recommended for amateur PC users) by downloading and replacing your appropriate metadata.htm file version. We maintain a comprehensive database of 100% malware-free metadata.htm files for every applicable version of DAZ Studio. Please follow the steps below to download and properly replace you file:

  2. Click the appropriate "Download Now" button and download your Windows file version.
  3. Copy this file to the appropriate DAZ Studio folder location:
    Windows 10: C:\Program Files\DAZ 3D\DAZStudio4\docs\DAZ Studio\
  4. Restart your computer.

GEEK TIP : We must emphasize that reinstalling Windows will be a very time-consuming and advanced task to resolve metadata.htm problems. To avoid data loss, you must be sure that you have backed-up all of your important documents, pictures, software installers, and other personal data before beginning the process. If you are not currently backing up your data, you need to do so immediately.



Download metadata.htm Files (Malware-Tested 100% Clean)


CAUTION : We strongly advise against downloading and copying metadata.htm to your appropriate Windows system directory. DAZ 3D typically does not release DAZ Studio HTM 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 metadata.htm and all other HTM files for DAZ Studio. An incorrectly installed HTM file may create system instability and could cause your program or operating system to stop functioning altogether. Proceed with caution.
