That's a Windows PC issue. What is the Mac OS X Lion issue? In other words what are you posting in the Lion forums about?

What do I do?
Thanks.

Itunessetup.exe is not a valid win32 application?!? help!

has anyone else been getting an error message when trying to upgrade to itunes 7 that says something to the effect of "itunessetup.exe is not a valid win32 application" ???
does anyone know what this means or how i can fix it??

grgatzby,
Empty the cache files of your browser and temp directory as described here: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93976
Then save the file again to another location on the computer.
If you cannot clear the cache, try to download the iTunes and quicktime setup installer from the quicktime site: http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/win.html

ITunesSetup.exe is not a valid Win32 application message

I downloaded iTunes7 for 2000/XP, but when I try to install the .exe, I receive 'iTunesSetup.exe is not a valid Win32 application'. Any ideas on what might cause this error?

In the course of your troubleshooting to date have you worked through the following document?
iTunes: Windows reports that "iTunesSetup.exe is not a valid Win32 application"

Windows reports that iTunesSetup.exe is not a "valid Win32 application

Every time I try to download iTunes, I receive the following error message: iTunes: Windows reports that iTunesSetup.exe is not a "valid Win32 application."
I have followed the instructions on the support website (uninstalled all versions of iTunes and QuickTime then reinstalled QuickTime without iTunes and then tried to install iTunes again). I continue to get this message and it has not been resolved. Please help!!

It might help to clear out Internet Explorer's temporary files then try downloading the iTunes software again.

It says 'iTunesSetup.exe is not a valid Win32 application.'?

The way my company has set up software installs means we have to save any application to the hard drive and then run it from there. It's supposed to keep unwanted stuff from being loaded onto computers by less than tech savvy users, but it makes it hard to load even innocuous things like iTunes.
When I 'save' instead of 'run' from the applet, I get a very brief download (comparatively) and then when I try and manually run the .exe file, I get the above statement in an error message. If I select 'run' from the intital download popup, it takes much longer to download, but then can't load because it's not been run with admin privledges (which you do get if you download an application file first and then manually 'run' the install). I suspect the two options don't give you access to the same files, but how can I download the actual install program to run it manually?

Error 'RecoveryMgr.exe is not a valid Win32 application' when trying to restore in Win7

I really hope someone can help as this is driving me mad!
System details - G62 Notebook running Windows 7
The notebook crashed after a Windows update and wouldn't boot up. I made it into the recovery manager and back my files before restoring to factory settings.
Since getting back in I am unable to get my files back. I have tried through the recovery manager but it does not allow me to see the files on the dvd. I have also tried through backup and restore but no joy there either. When I click on RecoverMgr.exe on the dvd I get error 'RecoveryMgr.exe is not a valid Win32 application' and it won't open.
I hope someone has managed to solve this before as I would love my files back. All suggestions greatly appreciated and thanks in advance.

Thanks Mumbodog. Unfortunately I have tried and the files won't copy. Starting to think they are corrupt! Have tried on a few different PC's but no luck. Really annoyed Any other suggestions?

TS1406 I read all of this, and did each step and mine still doesn't work. It still says "iTunesSetup.exe is not a valid Win32 application". What's next?

Perhaps try downloading and saving a copy of the installer to a different PC. (If you're on a 32-bit Windows system, try to download on a different 32-bit Windows system.) Copy the iTunesSetup.exe installer to an external hard-drive, or a large-enough thumb drive or burn it to a CD-R. Carry the installer back to your PC, copy the installer to your hard drive. (Don't run the install from the ExHD, thumb or CD-R.) Start the install by doubleclicking the iTunesSetup.exe file.

Trouble installing itunes -itunessetup.exe is not a valid win32 application

I have trouble installing itunes. The following message appears: C:\Documents and Setting\Owner\My Documents\ itunsSetup.exe is not a valid Win32 application. I tried the following but I still have problems: remove previous version of itunes, remove quicktime, install again quicktime as a standalone, delete temporary files, restart computer, delete all itunes related files.

Finally an answer from Apple:
Dear Stefanie,
I understand that you're receiving an error when trying to open the iTunes
installer that you downloaded. I'd like to try to help you resolve this issue.
It appears that your web browser may be truncating your download of the iTunes
software. I urge you to try using a different web browser to download iTunes. If
this is not possible, you can also try using a different computer to download
iTunes, and then transfer the iTunes installer file (iTunesSetup.exe) to your
original computer and open it from there.
Some transfer options would include using your iPod to transfer the file via
hard disk mode, using a local network, burning a CD, using an external hard disk
or a USB drive, or even sending the file to yourself via email or over an
instant messaging network.
I hope this information helps to resolve your iTunes installation issue. If it
does not and you still need assistance from Apple, you will need to call Apple
technical support (there may be a fee associated with the call). To find the
appropriate phone number, please visit:

Loading itunes on computer that is does not have interenet access. have itunes setup on jump drive. tried to run on computer and get the following error - "itunes64setup.exe is not a valid Win32 application"

"itunes64setup.exe is not a valid WIN32 application"

That suggests the installer got damaged when being downloaded to the computer that did have internet access.
I'd first try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser (on the computer with internet access):
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?

Unable to open itunes, "itunessetup(1).exe is not a valid Win32 application

Forgive me if I'm an idiot. I bought my husband an Ipod Shuffle for Xmas. I spent hours downloading the latest itunes only to have an error message pop up at the end that itunessetup.exe is not a valid Win32 application.
I read another post about people having better luck with older versions of itunes and downloaded 6.0 with no problem, saved a cd on it, and then when i plugged in the Shuffle it gave me an error message that said it would only work with the newest version of itunes. The apple website recognizes that I have already downloaded the new version, but nothing will happen other than the error message. Husband is already saying I should just sell his new shuffle, and I'm feeling stupid that I can't figure it out...can anyone help please? Thank you.

THis is a common problem for people downloading itunes on dail up and/or with corrupt versions in there temp folders.
If you are on dail up, you need to first download and install whats called a "Download manager". These programs will usually make sure the download goes correctly, will start the download where it stops should the connection be lost, and can usually be set to re dail to your internet provider if the connection is lost (Handy for late nights when you goto bed and leave a big download going). Theres quite afew different ones out there usually free, Id recommend looking around on the net and get the one you feel comfortable with using.
THen you can try the download again.
Also try emptying your temp folder in your browser
