  2. Internal Error: Failed to expand shell folder constant 'autoprograms'

    Hi 민욱,

    Welcome to Microsoft Community.

    I'm Hahn and I'm here to help you with your concern.



    The error message you're encountering, "[Internal Error: Failed to expand shell folder constant 'autoprograms']," indicates that there might be an issue with accessing or expanding a shell folder constant called "autoprograms" within your program. This error is usually related to a problem with the environment or configuration.

    To solve this error, you can try the following steps:

    1. Run as Administrator: If your program requires access to certain system folders, try running the program as an administrator to see if the issue is related to insufficient privileges.

    - Check if the "autoprograms" folder exists in the expected location. The error indicates it's trying to expand a shell folder constant, so it may be looking for a predefined system folder. Verify the folder exists and the program has permissions to access it.

    2. Check for System Changes: If the program was previously working and suddenly started showing this error, consider if any changes were made to the system, such as updates or installations, which might have triggered the problem.

    3. Reinstall or Repair the Program: If the error persists, consider reinstalling the program or performing a repair installation to fix any potential issues with the installation.

    4. Contact Support: If none of the above steps resolve the issue, reach out to the software's support team for assistance.

    Hopefully one of those suggestions helps resolve the problem! Let me know if you have any other details about what exactly you were doing when the error occurred.

    Your Sincerely
