Itunes won't run - not valid win32 application??? please help

Please can anyone help. I have a new ipod nano which requires you to download itunes 7.02 from the web rather than with a setup CD.
When I try to run it I get the error message that it is not a valid win32 application. Not very techy so can't even begin to work out what to do...please help

I had exactly the same problem, however I've now managed to install itunes. After following all the tips and hints about removing quicktime and earlier version of itunes
I went onto the download page for itunes 7.2 and chose to save the setup to my desktop. after a short time the download said it was completed and when i tried to open it it came up with th error " not a valid win32 application". I clicked "ok" on the warning message and immediately chose to download itunes again, I again chose to save it to my desktop but changed the name of the download to "itunes setup1". Again after a short time the download completed and again gave the error " not a valid win32 application" when i tried to intall it. I followed the above step several times again but each time changed the save setup name, so it went itunes setup2, itunes setup3, and eventually on the fourth attempt the download took around 30 mins for the full 35.1mb download and this time the icon for the download on my desktop instead of being an empty white box was infact a box with a music note and cd, and I'm glad to say after messing about for 4 hours downloaded and my new ipod shuffle is now complete with 250 songs on. I hope this helps.

  • 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 

  • TS2776 i am getting an error itunessetup.exe is not a valid win32 application. please help.

    I have downloaded the itunes setup but i am unable to install it. I am getting an error itunessetup.exe is not a valid win32 application. I have a toshiba laptop with windows 7 starter pack. please advise me what to do. thanks.

    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?

  • 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
    WW

    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.

    i download this latest itunes but i cant install it on my laptop?  everytime i run it.message appear it that "itunesetup.exe is not valid win32 application?? how can i solve it

    That generally indicates that the installer is getting damaged during the download.
    The following document is a good place to start:

    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    If you're running Windows try going to Start | Run and type in (w/o quotes) "%temp%".
    That should open the temp directory where the software may be trying to install to. If the folder isn't empty delete it's contents and try again.

  • Itunes.exe not valid win32 application

    i cannot install the new itunes update. because after i download the update my computer says that this is not a valid win32 application. how do i get rid of this and install the new update. i have tried all of the suggestions that are on the support site and still cannot get it to work.

    This is a tricky error message...sigh...Let's try something first, besides the typical troubleshooting stuff.
    Try setting up another User account thru XP with Full Admin Priveleges and see if iTunes and Quicktime will download and install on this account. Try saving the install to your hard drive and runnig it from there instead of running it over the 'Net.
    Try completely removing Quicktime and iTunes on your current account. You may want to try Windows Installer Clean Up Utility to remove any remnants. Find out about that here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301/
    I would also download a free program called CCleaner. http://www.download.com/CCleaner/3000-2144_4-10315544.html
    You can read about what it does from this page as well. It can help clear up some invalid Registry issues.

  • ITunesSetup[1].exe not valid Win32 application

    i bought a fifth gen. on Feb 17, i try to download iTunes 7.0.2, after i click on either RUN or SAVE, the next box says "The publisher could not be verified. Are you sure you want to RUN/SAVE this software?" I keep going and then a warning box comes up that says "C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\658ZMLA5\iTunesSetup[1].exe is not a valid Win32 application."
    Then my only option is to click OK, Apple thanks me for downloading iTunes7, and i'm back where I started.
    i downloaded iTunes6 from a friends disk but everytime i open it, another warning box says that my ipod requires iTunes7 or newer, so...
    ...please help me.

    You should follow the procedure for emptying your Windows Temp folder in this article(it's near the bottom of the page):
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93976
    After restarting your PC, Download iTunes again, do NOT press Run when downloading, you need to Save it and the run it from your PC after it has downloaded.
    If that doesn't work there is other advice on the same link.

  • I download Firefox and can't install it. Get a "Not valid Win32 application." I get this with any program I want to install. I suspect a virus.

    No program that has not been installed will linstall. No matter which I try, I always get "Not a valid Win32 application." I also clicked the "Automatic troubleshooting information," below, and it never stopped downloading so I was not able to go any further. It seems Windows must be fixed, somehow, but I have no idea about that. I tried to install both AVG and Avast anti-virus but it seems to be too late. Whatever I have prevents either of them from installing, too.
    Nothing ever popped up, including a window with Allow. As the alternative, I don't see a Help>Troubleshooting Information, either.

Apple shows as having invalid signature during install. Also get same stuff with Ipod Touch upgrade to 4.0.

    I have the same error message I cannot get the link of yours to open. everytime I click update itunes I get an error last time I had to uninstall everything cause itunes would not install and the old version wouldn't run after trying to install the new version. Same error again win32. I do not want to have to throw all my CD's on the laptop again. I want to correct this error. But i will never update itunes again after this if I can correct the error. Never again. Please help how do i correct the win32 application error.

  • ITunes won't run for some reason... help me!!!

    I installed iTunes on my laptop in December 2005 (I got an iPod nano for Christmas). Recently, my laptop started making a funny clicking noise and, as the Best Buy guy said, "Your hard drive is shot." So, therefore, I have not been able to charge my iPod. I downloaded the updates for iPod on this desktop computer, but for some reason, iTunes wont show up. Do I have to download the software again? How do I get it working?? Please help me!!!
    eMachines   Windows 2000  

    for some reason, iTunes wont show up
    a few questions before proceeding.
    are you getting an error message? if so, what does it say? include error message numbers if you're getting any.
    or are you getting no error messages whatsoever when you try to launch itunes?
    if you're getting no error messages whatsoever, do you just see the wee hourglass for a few seconds, and then nothing? if so, do you also have Norton Internet Security 2005 installed on that PC?
    or are you seeing a brief "flash" of the itunes license screen (and then nothing)? if so, do you also see similar behavior when you try to launch your QuickTime?

    Most of the people on these public forums, including myself, are fellow users - you are not talking to iTunes Support here. I've asked the hosts to remove your address and email address from your post.
    That receipt looks like a subscription renewal in an app. Have you or anybody else who access to your account downloaded that app in the past and subscribed to it ? If you/they have then there are instructions on this page for managing and stopping auto-renewing subscriptions on this page : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4098
