What are active-update.xml Error Messages?


General active-update.xml Runtime Errors

active-update.xml file errors often occur during the startup phase of Tor Browser Bundle, but can also occur while the program is running. These types XML errors are also known as “runtime errors” because they occur while Tor Browser Bundle is running. Here are some of the most common active-update.xml runtime errors:

Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library

Runtime Error!

Program: C:\Users\Tester\Desktop\Tor Browser\Browser\TorBrowser\UpdateInfo\active-update.xml

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


Most XML errors are due to missing or corrupt files. Your active-update.xml file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with Tor Browser Bundle), or deleted by a malware infection. Furthermore, active-update.xml file corruption could be caused from a power outage when loading Tor Browser Bundle, system crash while loading or saving active-update.xml, 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.

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

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

If Windows Update failed to resolve the active-update.xml 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 active-update.xml 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 active-update.xml file version. We maintain a comprehensive database of 100% malware-free active-update.xml files for every applicable version of Tor Browser Bundle.

    Windows 10: C:\Users\Tester\Desktop\Tor Browser\Browser\TorBrowser\UpdateInfo\

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


CAUTION : We strongly advise against downloading and copying active-update.xml to your appropriate Windows system directory. The Tor Project typically does not release Tor Browser Bundle XML 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 active-update.xml and all other XML files for Tor Browser Bundle. An incorrectly installed XML file may create system instability and could cause your program or operating system to stop functioning altogether. Proceed with caution.
