Error message, not a valid win32 application

Please help if you can, because I am new to computers. I have downloaded itunes (setup), which is only 11 meg, but it should of been 56 meg. When I click on it now, it say's run, then itunes setup exe is not a valid win 32 application.
I have tried this about 4 or 5 times, even deleting the whole file and re-installing several times. Please help, many thanks

Have you had a look at this troubleshooting page? It may be of some help: iTunes: Windows reports that iTunesSetup.exe is not a "valid Win32 application"

Error message "Not a valid Win32 application" when I try to install

I have downloaded the setup software several times but I cannot get any of it to load. I get the message that it is not a valid Win 32 application. I am running Windows 7. I have no problems with Thunderbird on other machines. There are no help paragraphs anywhere in your system that address this issue - at least not using the available public index.

if the installer is not valid, it will be because it has been corrupted in the download process. Usually by an over helpful anti virus program. As the installer is basically a 7Zip executable some corporate system will not allow the executable to run as it contains a ZIP file.

Hi, I'm having the same problem. Has anyone got an answer.
I suspect it could be something to do with x64?
Help?

After conversion error reading not a valid Win32 application please help

After uploading and converting my pdf to excel, i can not openthe file it reads not a valid Win32 application, what have I done wring
thanks

Good day WW,
It sounds like the extension for the file may have been stripped when you downloaded the file after conversion. Try renaming the file with a .xlsx extension or convert the file again and ensure it saves to your hard drive with a .xlsx file extension.
Kind regards,

ITunes set up gives an error message saying not a "valid win32 application"

I am using Windows 7 and trying to download iTunes, but when I try to open the iTunes set up it gives an error message saying that it is not a "valid win32 application". It does the same for downloading quicktime. I have no idea what this means or what to do about it.

That suggests that the installer is getting damaged during the download.
I'd first try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:
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?

When I try to open Firefox 4.0 I get an error message saying that it is not a valid Win32 Application. What do I do? I am using Windows XP Sp3

I downloaded Firefox 4.o exe. When I tried to open it I got an error message stating that it was not a valid Win32 application. I am using windows XP SP3. How do I get it to open?

[[Firefox is already running but is not responding]] has steps that you can try. It sounds like you may have something that is hanging your browser on exit (probably an extension or a locked profile) and the steps on that page should help clear it up.

Error message " filename is not a valid Win32 application"

I have StarOffice 8 update 11 on a PC running Windows XP. Every time I try to open any StarOffice file from my file manager, I get the error " <filename> is not a valid Win32 application." But I can open the file fine when I do it from within StarOffice, or straight from my email. I cannot figure out how to fix this so that I can launch a StarOffice file from my file manager. Any advice you can give would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

You can look for / identify missing or corrupted Operating System files by running the System File Checker Utility.
Type sfc /scannow in the Run window, and press Enter.

It is possible that your anti-virus software is corrupting the downloaded files or otherwise interfering with downloading files by Firefox.
Try to disable the real-time (live) scanning of files in your anti-virus software temporarily to see if that makes downloading work.
See "Disable virus scanning in Firefox preferences - Windows"

Error when installing VMM - %1 is not a valid Win32 application

Hi all
I'm attemping an install of SCVMM and despite installing all prerequisites I'm faced with the following when I launch the installer/disc and click 'Install':
"Error starting the Virtual Machine Manager Setup Wizard. %1 is not a valid Win32 application"
this error is the proceeded with another:
"Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable was not successfully installed. The selected Virtual Machine Manager feature cannot be installed without this prerequisite. Retry setup or manually install Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable
from Microsoft Download Center."
The latter package is already installed and I have re-downloaded and re-installed as well to no avail. All .Net packages are installed too.
I'm running a Windows Server 2012 R2 x64 virtual machine in a HyperV host (HyperV Server 2012) and have navigated the disc and launched the "SetupVMM.exe" located in the amd64 directory as I realise the above Win32 error points to a x86 application
- still no joy, the same errors!
I have tried the installer in a VMWare 2012 server with the same error and on a physical Windows 7 machine again same error so this makes me think I'm either missing something basic or have overlooked something seems the environment doesn't seem to make
a difference (although obviously not attempted a x86 environment but SCVMM is listed as x86 or x64).
This is for a lab test and personal experience before production so I realise running SCVMM within a virtual machine that is hosted on the same hypervisor isn't good practice - but it's a start :)
Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.
Sam

Are you installing directly from the ISO? If so, you can try with a new ISO in case this is broken. Also make sure your machine is joined to the domain and that you are executing the setup in the context of a local administrator.
Eventually, try to copy the ISO to local disk and run setup from there.

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?
