Main causes of the Error 193 0xc1

1. The error occurs when there is a file named ‘Program’ in the System Drive folder or there is a file named ‘Common’ in the Program Files folder. When the Windows service control manager tries to start the Server service, the program verifies the following paths.

• System Drive\Program
• Program Files\Common

If the Program or Common paths exist as files, then the Service Control Manager cannot locate the required folders and which shows the below error.

2. If the path of a service’s executable file contains spaces then it shows the same error.

3. The other reason for the error is if the file or folder on the computer’s hard disk that has the same name as a file or folder in the path to the service’s executable file.
