The Error Code Lookup tool, ERR.EXE, is used to translate errors reported by Windows and to
provide you with an explanation of their meanings. ERR.EXE is another command-line tool, and
it can resolve errors in a variety of formats:
- Hexadecimal (e.g., 0x31c or 31c)
- Numeric (e.g., 1723)
- String (e.g., UNKNOWN_FAILURE or INTERNAL_ UNKNOWN_FAILURE)
Many of these same error messages can also be translated using the NET HELPMSG
command found in Windows, as well as the Visual C++ Error Lookup tool that ships with Visual
Studio; however, you may still find ERR.EXE to be useful. For more information on using
ERR.EXE, see the Read Me file included with this tool.
