ITunes not a vaild Win32 application?? help!

I downloaded iTunes, but when I click on the iTunes set up icon on the desktop I get a message that says iTunes is not a valid Win32 application. I have Windows XP and I'm trying to download the newest version of iTunes. What did I do wrong? Please help.

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"

Can't update/install itunes- 'not a valid win32 application' PLEASE HELP

Hi Guys,
I'm having some serious problems with installing iTunes on my laptop. I have searched and searched the internet and can not find any solution to my problem. I am receiving the error "itunes is not a valid win32 application' after the program finishes downloading. Sometimes however it will just stop in the middle of the download. I use a SONY VAIO VGN-NW25GF which was only purchased last year. It uses windows 7. I had trouble downloading itunes to begin with though eventually it worked, however since the new 10.1 update has been available ive been attempting to update it almost every time i use itunes. Each and every time it fails and i've had enough as i need to update my iphone software. I’ve since uninstalled both itunes and quicktime hoping it will reinstall properly. But nothing, the same problem is occurring and now i have no itunes program!
I've tried all the solutions online about deleting browing history/temp folder and any itunessetup.exe/quicktimesetup.exe files and nothing works. I've also tried downloading using a different browser and still nothing. I’ve done a virus scan, disk cleanup and disk defragment and NOTHIGN is working. I'm starting to get quite frustrated as i need this program for my iphone. Any help would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks 

Error installing itunes 7.0.1..itunes.exe is not a vaild win32 application?

I have the latest verion of XP Pro but cannot install he itunes 7.0.1 i just receive this error message ?
itunes.exe is not a valid Win32 application.
Appreciate any support.
best regards,
tafta
Compaq presario Windows XP Pro

Hi Roy B
The 7.1 just would not install at all, giving the error message above every time. 7.0 was still on my system.
I did a disk clean up (someone said there might be fragments of my attempts to download 7.1 in temp folder that needed to be removed). I then ran a spyware scan and a full Norton system scan (just to be sure that I was 'clean' before attempting again). Then ran the registry mechanic that I just purchased and allowed this to 'fix' anything it found.
Finally I then went back to apple.com and tried another install from scratch - which worked! So...one of the above things worked - can't be certain which, but my guess is that it might have been the reg. mech.
7.1 has been working for a couple of days now... but dreading 7.2 etc...!
Good luck sorting out your probs...

'mymusic/itunes.exe is not a valid win32 application' **help needed** !!

As i double click on the desktop shortcut to open itunes, i get an error message which is the following: 'mymusic/itunes.exe is not a valid win32 application'. I now cannot access itunes or any of my media/music!
Background... I updated to the latest version of itunes, downloaded a few apps and music and re-synced my iPod touch. I then clicked on itunes store, and itunes just closed down and would then not reopen and now repeats the error message everytime.
I have attempted to repair itunes by downloading the setup software again, i have also tried removing itunes from my pc with the intention to re-install all over again, however it wont let me uninstall itunes either!!
Anybody have any suggestions?

Can you open iTunes if you go to Program Files\iTunes and double click on iTunes.exe.
If so, you can create a new short cut by right clicking on iTunes.exe and selecting Send to>>Desk top(create short cut)

Can't install iTunes - "not a valid Win32 application"

I know this is a 'known problem'. I have carefully tried every fix in the troubleshooting page to load iTunes but continue to get this error message when trying to install. Is this the only approach? Would loading a new OS (like Windows 7) be a fix?

This suggests the iTunes installer is getting damaged during download.
First try downloading the iTunes installer using a different browser.
You should be downloading from here:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
If that doesn't work,the simplest thing is to get a friend tio download the installer for you and put it on a USB memory stick. Preferably a copy that you know works.
Are you using a USB Dongle connected to a wireless broadband provider – truncated downloads seem to be common with this setup.

When I try to download iTunes it says "not a valid Win32 application"

the whole thing it says is "C:\Documents and Settings\Evie Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IES\OLYFO9IV\iTunesSetup[1].exe is not a vaild Win32 application." Please help me!

It usually means one of two things
1) A virus has infected somehow after it was downloaded
2) It didn't download properly
The first is easy to fix. Go get an anti-virus program. AVG is a good free one that's quite good.
The second just means you have to redownload it again.. and turn off any download accelerators.

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:

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

New Vista machine says iTunes is not a valid Win32 application

I am trying to install iTunes on my new Sony Vaio running Vista. When I try to install iTunes, it says iTunes is not a valid Win32 application. Can anyone help me...I have no idea what this means or what to do. Thanks!

After being on hold forever and then told it would cost me $30 for apple to troubleshoot, the lady at apple told me that since there are so many people trying to download itunes 7, the server is jammed up and to keep trying. so, i did. After about 10 attempts it downloaded successfully.So keep trying or try late at night when so many people aren't clogging up apple's server. Hope this helps.

It says its not a valid Win32 application. I was wondering if anyone could help me out with this problem so I can download itunes. Thanks in advance.

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:

If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?
