Updated: Feb 21, 2026
Technical Meaning
The ERROR_STATIC_INIT error code, represented by the numeric value 4002 or the hexadecimal value 0xFA2, indicates a failure in static initialization of a component during file importation. This error typically arises when there is an issue with the initial setup or configuration of a static resource required for the operation.
Error Details
The specific context in which this error occurs involves the process of importing data or resources from a file into a system or application. The failure can be attributed to various factors, such as incorrect initialization parameters, corrupted files, or unsupported operations within the file being imported.
Usage Context
This error is commonly encountered when dealing with static initialization routines that are part of larger importation processes in Windows systems. It may appear during the execution of certain API functions or system calls that rely on static resources for their operation.
Developer Interpretation
Developers should interpret this error as an indication that a necessary static resource has not been properly initialized, leading to a failure in the file importation process. This can be due to various reasons such as incorrect parameter values, corrupted data within the file being imported, or unsupported operations by the system.
