When I tried to install the latest version of Facebook, the following window popped up displaying an error code 5000. Can anyone explain the issue and give me a solution?
Error Code 5000 can occur due to system files which are configured wrongly in your OS. There can be various reasons for the damaged files:
• incomplete uninstall
• incorrect deletion of applications
• incomplete installation
• while recovering your computer from an adware/spyware or virus attack or due to an improper shutdown
All these can cause corruption or deletion of data in Windows registry, which will further lead to wrongly linked and missing data in files required for proper functioning of an application.
Two ways to fix Error Code 5000:
