What are application.ini Error Messages?


General application.ini Runtime Errors

application.ini file errors often occur during the startup phase of Songbird, but can also occur while the program is running. These types INI errors are also known as “runtime errors” because they occur while Songbird is running. Here are some of the most common application.ini runtime errors:

Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library

Runtime Error!

Program: C:\Program Files (x86)\Songbird\application.ini

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


Most INI errors are due to missing or corrupt files. Your application.ini file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with Songbird), or deleted by a malware infection. Furthermore, application.ini file corruption could be caused from a power outage when loading Songbird, system crash while loading or saving application.ini, 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.

GEEK TIP : We must emphasize that reinstalling Windows will be a very time-consuming and advanced task to resolve application.ini 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 application.ini Files (Malware-Tested 100% Clean)


CAUTION : We strongly advise against downloading and copying application.ini to your appropriate Windows system directory. Pioneers of the Inevitable typically does not release Songbird INI 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 application.ini and all other INI files for Songbird. An incorrectly installed INI file may create system instability and could cause your program or operating system to stop functioning altogether. Proceed with caution.
