What are VBHW.XML Error Messages?


General VBHW.XML Runtime Errors

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

Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library

Runtime Error!

Program: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\1033\VBHW.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 VBHW.XML file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with Office), or deleted by a malware infection. Furthermore, VBHW.XML file corruption could be caused from a power outage when loading Office, system crash while loading or saving VBHW.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.

GEEK TIP : We must emphasize that reinstalling Windows will be a very time-consuming and advanced task to resolve VBHW.XML problems.

If you are not currently backing up your data, you need to do so immediately.



Download VBHW.XML Files (Malware-Tested 100% Clean)


CAUTION : We strongly advise against downloading and copying VBHW.XML to your appropriate Windows system directory. Microsoft typically does not release Office 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 VBHW.XML and all other XML files for Office. An incorrectly installed XML file may create system instability and could cause your program or operating system to stop functioning altogether. Proceed with caution.
