What are hiew.ini Error Messages?


General hiew.ini Runtime Errors

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

Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library

Runtime Error!

Program: C:\Program Files (x86)\VB Decompiler Lite\colors\hiew.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 hiew.ini file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with VB Decompiler), or deleted by a malware infection. Furthermore, hiew.ini file corruption could be caused from a power outage when loading VB Decompiler, system crash while loading or saving hiew.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.

Download hiew.ini Files (Malware-Tested 100% Clean)


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