depuration
Very odd word to use, since it's meaning refers to being cleansed or purified. :)

Perhaps they couldn't think of an appropriate word, so they used that one out of desperation.

At least the dev was nice enough to let you know that worse was yet to come. In my first year of writing code, I had put in a "temporary" dialog for myself which ended up getting released. The entire message was "Oops". That was useful, wasn't it... D'OH!!!!
I wasn't, now I am, then I won't be anymore.
Thats the same thing my teacher said c'mon, that message is very unprofessional and when feeding your children depends on that its doesn't sound like a joke :)

When I was at college i was forced to make a project with lazarus(a free Delphi IDE), Thi IDE is so wrong at so many levels that among other stuff that happened to me i received this error messsage "Oops the IDE has entered in depuration state(the ide freezed down) you only have to close it and wait for the worse"
I dunno. I got an error message from microsoft visual C++ (either 6 or 2003, can't remember) refeencing an internal file and line number, and requesting I report the error to "a graduate student". I thought that was pretty weak for a big-time commercial product. Back in the day, I remember running strings(1) on the executable for Framemaker. Along the list of other error messages was this really terrific one; "Evacuate now, in our moment of triumph? I think you overestimate their chances." I can't imagine what horrible condition produces this message, but presumably there is a terrific kaboom right after.

For me it has to be while I was installing a microsoft product on win2k and witnessed the following error message:
The installation was halted because the following error occured: No Error.
I guess the installer got a bit confused.

On Windows 98 while doing a very dangerous operations (something regarding the file system, so very destructive :laugh: ), an empty message box appeared with a question icon and two button: Yes No... this is the worst error message! You know something bad has happened, you don't know what the remedy was proposed by W98 :wtf:

The worst I ever came across was from Quadbase (a 90's database system).
Should never get here.
At that point we knew we had really f-ed up the database.

At least the message told you something relating to the error. Years back I had a program that wrote data to Microsoft Access database tables. One day it quit working and gave this error message: "Invalid arguments." I scratched my head for a while trying to figure out what that meant. Finally I noticed that the size of the Access file is dangerously high (2GB). That was when I changed my app to use MySql.

The worst message for me is no message at all: one time i got a error meeeage box with empty text, just error icon and "Error" caption with OK button. I don't remember where i got it, it was a log time ago, but this was the worst "error message i seen:)
