"iTunesSetup.exe is not a valid 32bit application" error received.

"iTunesSetup.exe is not a valid 32bit application" error received.  I'm on dial up (no flames or stupid comments in reference to this please) with Toast using IE9.  I've uninstalled, deleted, and restarted my computer after each attempt.  I've tried with 32bit and 64bit.  I've tried at the local library using their WiFi connection and at home with the dial up.  I've tried running program and saving before running both download types.  This has been 3 days of work since the 24th all so my son can try and use his iPod Touch.  Is there no way of accessing iTunes with the iPod Touch without having it installed on the computer?  I'm sick of this and so disgusted with Apple right now.  I'm sorry that I'm on dial up, but out where I live, everyone is because there is no reception for phones or satelite.  And even coming to town to use the quicker internet here, it still was a 6hour plus download time.  And right when I click 'Run', it gives me this error message each time.
My son and my whole family and neighborhood after I've asked everyone's help with this problem has become fed up with Apple cause there is no disc they can mail me to get iTunes onto my computer and no one else we've asked can download it either.  One person has the program but its iTunes 7 and they can't upgrade because of dial up.  His iPod Touch will not even go to any other screen but the one that shows the plug and iTunes icon on it.  I would really appreciate some kind of help from someone cause we are all sick of this, my son is not happy, and this was supposed to be a Christmas present that he could use.  I can not even remotely begin to....well, I could fill this page with gripes but I would just really appreciate a knowledgeable answer that I can use to quickly fix this for my son's Christmas.  Please help.

Karen, this is far off-topic in a sense.  But I have a sister in the wilds of central MI.  No access to cable no way. And limited 3G minutes.
She finally opted for MiFi and can get much faster online access.  She is able to download to her iTouch, iPad and Mac laptop (3 y.o.) much faster than her old dialup.
It's worth checking if it might help. Hers is Verizon (http://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/mobilebroadband/?page=products_mifi)
AT&T also has MiFi (http://www.wireless.att.com/businesscenter/devices/att-mobile-hotspot-mifi-2372. jsp).
There may be others as well.
I am spoiled w/ cable but it's been great  for her.  If this is out of line or you've explored it to no avail please ignore.
Best wishes and hope these bumps get smoothed out.  Hope you have a good New Year and your son's iTouch problems get worked out.

  • 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?

  • 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?

    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?

    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:

  • Sqlplus.exe is not a valid win32 application error

    Hi All,
    I have installed oracle 10gr2 on windows xp.
    if i type sqlplus in command prompt i get this error
    "C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1\BIN\sqlplus.exe is not a valid win32 application".
    i went to the path where sqlplus is present i observed that sqlplus.exe file was 0KB.
    how can i resolve this problem. i want to upgrade oracle 9i to 10g so i need sqlplus of 10g to work properly.
    please anyone help me out to solve this problem.
    Regards,
    Veeresh S

    You'd have to find out how and why that file became 0KB in size.
    If one file is 0KB in size, what assurance do you have that other files aren't
    also corrupted ?
    It could have been a virus-scanner wrongly attempting to quarantine the file,
    it could have been a backup-restore session that copied the file back as 0KB,
    it could have been some command that you executed in attempting the upgrade.

  • *.exe is not a valid win32 application error message

    When I download updates I cannot install them.  I get the error message that they are not valid Win32 applications, which I know is not correct.  This is apparently a common problem with Windows 7, and nobody has come up with a solution in the
    forums.
    Any ideas?

    OK.  I think I figured it out.  Neither the forums nor MS were of any help whatsoever.  In my case, my recollection was that the problem started at about the same time I had an infection, and installed antivirus SW (Ad Aware), which fixed
    the problem.  Today, I unistalled Ad Aware, and voila! the *.exe files download and run as they had before the problem arose.

  • 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
