  • Setup.exe is not a valid Win32 application

    Hi,
    I have downloaded the Database trial 92021Win64_Disk1 and I unpacked the archive using WinRar. When i doubleclick on the setup file I get the following message:Setup.exe is not a valid Win32 application.
    What am I doing wrong? I am using WindowsXP Pro. Does this archive has to be burned on a CD in order for the install to work?
    Thanks!

    Thanks for the reply. It is my mistake to assume that windows 2003 server (enterprise edition) is a 64-bit OS. May be it is some other version. Don't forget Microsoft has different versions of windows 2003 server, One of them could be a 64 bit OS. I found out, Installing Oracle 2000 server edition and applying the patch for windows 2003 server as oracle recommended will do the trick. Looks good so far (everything went fine).
    Thanks everyone

  • 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.

  • Error message iTunes64 Setup.exe is not a valid Win32 application.

    I've tried a few times to update my laptop with latest version of iTunes, even have uninstalled older version, and I just keep getting this message.  What am I doing wrong?  How do I fix it?  I have Windows 7, 64-bit system. 
    I wouldn't have even tried to update, but when I plugged in my new iphone 4S to download my itunes librarby to it, i was prompted to get the most recent version.  Now I don't have anything.  HELP!

    Perhaps try downloading and saving a copy of the installer to a different (64-bit) PC. Copy the iTunes64Setup.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 iTunes64Setup.exe file.
    Does that go through any better for you?

  • Firefox Setup 7.0.exe is not a valid Win32 application.

    ''Firefox Setup 7.0.exe is not a valid Win32 application.''
    The message above is displayed immediately after I click "Run" in the window titled "Open File - Security Warning" which asks to "Run" or "Cancel".

    Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
    * Firefox 7.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    * Uninstall your current Firefox version.
    * Do not remove personal data when you uninstall the current version or you lose your bookmarks and other data in the profile folder.
    Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
    * It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

  • 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?

  • 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

  • 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?

  • '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)

  • 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?
