Bootcamp support drivers "the version of this file is not compatible with the version of windows you are running"

Hi,
I've searched everywhere I can think of for a solution to this problem with no success. I see other people have reported similar issues and these have not yet been resolved.
I have installed Windows 7 32 bit on a new Mac Mini under Bootcamp. When I go to install the Bootcamp drivers in Windows, I get the message "the version of this file is not compatible with the version of windows you are running".
Other people have reported this issue when trying to install 3rd party software on a 64 bit version of windows but I'm simply trying to install the Bootcamp drivers on a 32 bit version of Windows.
Is it possible the Mac Mini needs a 64 bit version of Windows installed under Bootcamp? I haven't seen this requirement mentioned anywhere.
Appreciated all and any help that can be offered.

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
That's because the Late 2012 iMac and Mac mini only supports the 64-bit Windows 7 version, so the drivers you downloaded are designed to work with the 64-bit version and you can't install them on a 32-bit version. Install the 64-bit Windows 7 on your computer

"The version of this file is not compatible with the version of Windows you're running.[...]".What can I do?

I must run a 32-bit programe on a windows 64-bit operating sistem, and i receive this message:"The version of this file is not compatible with the version of Windows you're running.[...]". I tried with Troubleshoot compatibility - didn't
work. I tried set to run in compatibility mode for Windows XP in file properties window and it didn't work. What can I do more? I
must run this programe to acces my database.

Hello qqnicol,
What program do you run?
Please contact the software provider to confirm if this 32-bit program can run in 64-bit Windows.
As some programs can only run in specific version of Windows, please download the right version of software.
Most programs designed for the 32-bit version of Windows will work on the 64-bit version of Windows. Notable exceptions are many antivirus programs.
Device drivers designed for the 32-bit version of Windows don't work on computers running a 64-bit version of Windows too.

Windows desktop application -- version of this file is not compatible with the version of Windows you're running

I am developing on 64-bit Windows7 Enterprise using VisualStudio 2013. I created a new Windows desktop VB.net application and just created a release build of the default solution/project targeting "Any CPU". I provided the EXE to a
colleague who is also running 64-bit Windows7 Enterprise but receives the following error...
"The version of this file is not compatible with the version of Windows you're running. Check your computer's system information to see
whether you need an x86 (32-bit) or x64 (64-bit) version of the program, and then contact the software publisher."
I changed the build configuration to create a "x86" build but my colleague received the same error. Any ideas why this would be happening (I checked and my colleague has .Net4 Framework installed as well)? Thank you for your time and
response!

Hi sunisha,
According to your description, you'd like to run the application in your colleague's computer.
I provided the EXE to a colleague who is also running 64-bit Windows7 Enterprise but receives the following error...
If you want to test the application, you could provide the whole Debug folder to colleague instead of the single exe.
"The version of this file is not compatible with the version of Windows you're running. Check your computer's system information to see whether you need an x86 (32-bit) or x64 (64-bit) version of the program, and then contact the software publisher."
Check if the collegue's computer is running 64-bit windows:
Enter Control Panel, click on System and Security.
Under this, you can view the system type. This will describe whether you have 32-bit or 64-bit.
You can also try compatiblity mode.
If the program is not compatible, then you may try to install and run the program in compatibility mode.
Use the following steps:
1)   Right click on the Program
2)   Click on Properties
3)   Click on Compatibility tab
4)   Select Run this program in compatibility mode and select Windows Vista or whatever operating system the program was running successfully.
And if you still have questions, I suggest you deploy the application to the Local Network with clickOnce, then your collegue can install the application from the network.
#ClickOnce deployment
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/t71a733d(VS.80).aspx
And also, you could recreate a new small application in your computer in Any CPU, then check if this small new application can work well in your colleague's computer. This can judge if the problem is caused by your application.
If you have any other concern regarding this issue, please feel free to let me know.

Firefox was working, today did not start with error message the the version of this file is not compatible with the version of windows you're running.

Computer has Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit. Firefox has run fine for over a year on this computer. Nothing was changed or updated except Windows update shows that it installed updates on Aug 19. I had computer off for week before because out of town, came back and started on Aug 18, but Firefox worked on that day. Did not use FF again till today. Today on Aug 22nd, firefox will not start, shortcut icon has changed to program not there. Exe in folder when clicked brings up error message say the version of this file is not compatible with version of Windows I am running. Firefox exe shows created Aug 20. I suspect update, either Windows or FF but lean towards windows, happened that broke things. I notice IE 10 updates, .NET framework updates and malicious software removal tool updates were installed. I have tried restarting computer, did not fix. Tried to run as admin, didn't work. I do not want to uninstall FF unless have to because of all the stuff I have in there, bookmarks, last pass passwords, etc.

Hello,
Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files ('''not the profile folder where the bookmarks are stored''') and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
'''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
#Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
#After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
#Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
#*'''Windows:'''
#**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
#**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
#*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
#*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
#Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
Please report back to see if this helped you!
Thank you.

"The version of this file is not compatible with the version of windows?

Both files are in my folder but getting the above message. Elements 10 for windows 7

Hi,
Could you please list your system specifications here, like the version of Windows (64 or 32bit), the processor type, etc..
I presume you are receiving this error when trying to install Elements 10 on Windows. Could you copy the downloaded .exe & .7z files to a folder on your desktop and then try to run the .exe file?

Downloaded trial version of Acrobat XI Pro. Attempted to launch but dialog box indicated that the version of AcrobatPro_11_Web_WWMUI.exe is not compatible with the version of Windows (check if 32-bit or 64-bit version is needed). I'm running Windows 7 Pro

Could not launch a trial version of Acrobat XI Pro due to compatibility even though I'm running Windows 7 on a 64-bit machine. Any ideas why not?

Acrobat XI is a 32-bit process, but should run on a 64-bit machine unless something is set to lock out 32-bit processes.

Error states: the version of this file is not compatible with the version of Windows you're running. Check your computer's system information to see whether you need an x86 or x64 version of the program, and then contact the software publisher. My compute

Where do you go for help when it tells you to contact the software publisher?

Hey jz,
Could you please let me know when does this error comes on your system. What kind of file do you have?
Also, tell me what is your OS and Acrobat version?

Hi,
Often the error "The provider is not compatible with the version of Oracle client" is raised when the unmanaged dll OraOpsX.dll can't be found, can't be loaded, or is the wrong version. For version 10.2.0.x of ODP.NET and .NET Framework 2.x the file should be called "OraOps10w.dll" and should be found in the %ORACLE_HOME%\bin directory.
Since the ODAC pieces are installed on the same host as the database, are they in a separate Oracle Home or the same Oracle Home as the database software? If there are multiple Oracle Home directories, which one is in the system path first?
I would start with verifying the version of OraOps10w.dll and the system path on the server. You might also confirm that the Oracle Home directory (and everything under it) has the following permissions for Authenticated Users:
- Read & Execute
- List folder contents
- Read

The provider is not compatible with the version of Oracle client

We are running Server 2012 64 bit with multiple homes one is 32 bit and the other 64 bit. We installed the 64 bit first then the 32 bit next in order to get our Classic ASP WebSite that is using COM+ and OLEDB to see the provider.
C:\oracle\product\12.1.0\x86
C:\oracle\product\12.1.0\x64
The other Websites are ASP.Net 4.0 and are running in 64 bit application pools. They are using a DAL .Net assembly built x64 with a reference to the 64 bit ODP.Net version 4.121.1.0 in C:\oracle\product\12.1.0\X64\client_1\odp.net\bin\4.
I also see there is another folder C:\oracle\product\12.1.0\X64\odac_1\odp.net\bin\2.x with version 2.121.2.0. We are on running Framework 4.0 but when I switch to this version it works but with the version out of the bid\4 we are receiving the following error when the 64 bit Websites call the assembly:
The provider is not compatible with the version of Oracle client
Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.

Hi,
Oracle Client/ODP build with certified Visual C++ Libraries so application using ODP.NET requires "runtime components of Visual C++ Libraries" to be installed.
Oracle Database Client installation includes the Visual C++ Libraries but ODAC doesn't contain these libraries which may cause such issue.
Please check the Note 43208.1 for the particular version of Visual C++ installs with Oracle Database Client installation(e.g. 11.2.0 Database Client installs Visual C++ .NET 2005) and also you can refer the windows event log error massage to verify which version of Visual C++ is missing.
thanks and regards

Inner Exception The provider is not compatible with the version of Oracle

I am using the 64 bit ODP and Net 2.0 SDK in a C# program which runs standalone and is also hosted by another win32 process.
When running standalone it works ok. But when being hosted by another process, I get the following exceptions thrown when i create a connection:
INFO 2007-01-10 12:38:26,843 265ms frmCCMain LogMessage - Exception During Batch Processing1: [The type initializer for 'Oracle.DataAccess.Client.OracleConnection' threw an exception.]
INFO 2007-01-10 12:38:26,843 265ms frmCCMain LogMessage - Inner Exception The provider is not compatible with the version of Oracle client
I checked the DllPath value under the ODP.NET key and it points to the directory where OraOps10w.dll is installed. I also tried copying that Dll into the host process working directory and searched and found no other versions of that DLL.

Yes, this sounds like you may be using the 9.2 client with ODP.NET and ASP.NET Providers for 11g. Usually, you can stop and start IIS to resolve this. IIS will then pick up that the 11g client directory is first in the Windows PATH, ahead of the 9.2 client directory, then use that for any subsequent Oracle client calls.

Another: The provider is not compatible with the version of Oracle client

Hi everybody,
We still have problems with the ODP dll. with our .Net development. I copied all the dlls as mentioned here: [http://splinter.com.au/blog/?p=156] and in many other posts here in the forum. The .Net development works fine on our Development PCs (WIN XP32) and on many other PCs in the company. But we still have some PCs (As well WIN XP32) that come up with the Error: The provider is not compatible with the version of Oracle client.
Has anyone an idea???
Thanks a lot for your help
Best Jan

Hi Jan,
If there has never been any Oracle Client software installed on the machines, it seems unlikely that there would be Oracle policy files and version(s) of Oracle.DataAccess in the GAC. But, yes, the CLR will look to the GAC first for loading the Oracle.DataAccess assembly. I'm not sure what Framework or Domain setting would be involved here if there is no Oracle client installed. Are the machines configured the same as far as Regional/Language settings, etc?
One thing you might be able to try is to create an application configuration file and enable ODP.NET trace in the file. This is an ODP.NET 11.1 new feature. However, it's possible the error will prevent the trace file from being created. You would create a file named YourApplicationName.exe.config and here is a sample of the minimum content to enable ODP.NET trace:
{noformat}
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
<oracle.dataaccess.client>
   <settings>
     <add name="TraceFileName" value="c:\odpnet2.trc"/>
     <add name="TraceLevel" value="1"/>
   </settings>
</oracle.dataaccess.client>
</configuration>
{noformat}
I wish I had an easy answer for you!

Download is not compatible with my version of windows!

I have downloaded the newest version of Itunes but when I try to install it all I get is a message saying it is not compatible with my version of windows.
My system type is X86 based.
I have no idea what, if any thing, I can do to install it. Any ideas??

i believe it's because on the "system requirements" it says that if running on vista, it needs to be on a 64-bit system. Mine runs on 32 and doesn't seem to work. it crashed my computer... big time.
I am not computer savvy though... could be wrong.

'The provider is not compatible with the version of Oracle client' exceptio

Hi
I installed ODAC-11.1.0.7.10 Beta on my development system and developed a .net application which uses Oracle.DataAccess.dll to connect to Oracle10g database.
the application is working fine, means opening connection successfully when I run it from my development system. but the same application is throwing
'The provider is not compatible with the version of Oracle client' exception when I run it on my 10g database server system.
what I need to do to run the application successfully on the machine where 10g server exists?
any help is appreciated.
thanks,
harry

Hi Harry,
I am not sure why you installed 11.1.0.7.10 Beta as 11.1.0.7.20 has been released and you should not be using the beta at this time. That error message is because the dependencies being loaded by the process are the wrong version. When you deploy an ODP .NET application using 11.1.7.x, you need to make sure you deploy it to a machine where the 11.1.0.7.x dependencies are installed. My guess is if I read your poat correctly is that Oracle.DataAccess.dll version 11.1 is loaded but its finding 10.2 dependencies on the target deployment box.
