What are DWA.sig Error Messages?


General DWA.sig Runtime Errors

DWA.sig file errors often occur during the startup phase of Adobe Photoshop Lightroom, but can also occur while the program is running. These types SIG errors are also known as “runtime errors” because they occur while Adobe Photoshop Lightroom is running. Here are some of the most common DWA.sig runtime errors:

Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library

Runtime Error!

Program: C:\Users\Tester\Downloads\Adobe\Photoshop Lightroom 6.0\packages\DWA\DWA.sig

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


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

If the Step 1 fails to resolve the DWA.sig error, please proceed to the Step 2 below.

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

  3. In the Windows Update dialog box, click "Check for Updates" (or similar button depending on your Windows version)
  4. If updates are available for download, click "Install Updates".
  5. After the update is completed, restart your PC.

If Windows Update failed to resolve the DWA.sig 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 DWA.sig File (Caution: Advanced)

    Windows 10: C:\Users\Tester\Downloads\captivate_windows-32\Windows 32\Captivate_2017_LS21_193\packages\DWA\

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


CAUTION : We strongly advise against downloading and copying DWA.sig to your appropriate Windows system directory. Adobe Systems Incorporated typically does not release Adobe Photoshop Lightroom SIG 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 DWA.sig and all other SIG files for Adobe Photoshop Lightroom. An incorrectly installed SIG file may create system instability and could cause your program or operating system to stop functioning altogether. Proceed with caution.
