Setup not a valid Win32 app

I just cleaned out my HD and reinstalled Windows XP. In trying to install iTunes I get a message saying that the ITunesSetup.exe is not a valid Win32 app, and the installation doesn't happen.

Most folks have seen this caused by bad wireless router settings. They connected directly to their cable modem and were able to download a valid setup file, after bypassing the wireless router. Perhaps that will work for you.
Another idea is to find a friend who was able to download it successfully, and copy iTunesSetup.exe from their PC to a USB stick, so you can get it on your PC.

HT1926 I followed the troubleshoot for iTunes setup.exe is not a valid win32 app; even uninstalled QTime; reinstalled QT; then tried itunes ; no success any ideas? Windows IE8 version on PC

I followed the troubleshoot for iTunes and get message the iTunes setup.exe is not a valid Win32 application. I remove QuickTime and reinstalled QT, then tried iTunes install with no success. Any ideas?

Perhaps try downloading and saving a copy of the installer to a different (32-bit) PC. 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.

The FF 3.6.13 install download fails - "not a valid win32 app"?

I downloaded the latest FF installation (3.6.13) saving it to a local file. The file fails to execute and displays the following message ".../Firefox Setup 3.6.13.exe is not a valid Win32 application. I tried running the download instead of saving it and received the same message.

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
Are you on Vista? If so, be sure to use the "Run As Administrator" option on everything you execute when you initiate the installation.
If you are on XP, make sure you are logged into an account with full local administrative rights.
Otherwise, try a clean uninstall:

LR4 LS11.exe not a valid Win32 app

I downloaded the file Lightroom_4_LS11.exe. When I start the file I get the error message "Lightroom_4_LS11.exe is not a valid Win32 application". I have downloaded severa times, turned off virus protection SW, and rebooted. Nothing seems to make a difference. How do I get this file to run?

Windows 7.
I downloaded the file a few more times and it finally ran without the error. I have no idea why it took so many attempts.

Everytime I try to Install itunes 8.1 it says 'Not a valid win32 app'

I've tried at least ten times installing itunes.It previously got wiped off my pc due to a malfunction.Everytime i click run it says the location where it's stored ItunesSetup[2].exe is not a valid win32 application and won't install!
Can someone help me please!!

Also, if your using a router of any kind, by pass it and use a Ethernet cable from your modem to the computer. Like you I tried up to 15 times in downloading Version 8 not 8.1, and it was the only way I was successful in downloading and installing.
I received the same error message plus other including Signature not valid.
I will be staying away from 8.1

Hi,
If you have security software (antivirus, firewall etc.) you can try to temporarily disable it for a few minutes, visit a safe site (e.g. https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird), download and check. Please also see [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firewalls#Firewall_pitfalls this].
If it works you can then try deleting all existing instances of Firefox and its related processes/files in all the different configuration modules/areas of the security software like process monitoring, sub/spawned process control, virtualization, HIPS etc., in addition to the security software's main configuration panel. Instead create new fully allowed/trusted rules for Firefox + its related processes in all the different modules/panels - a genuine/original Firefox installer as well as all the installed EXEs (Application) and DLLs (Application extension) are digitally signed by Mozilla Corporation (right-click > Properties > Digital Signatures). Even otherwise, some security software may also ask again when Firefox and/or its sub processes are started, and you may be able to allow/trust at that time. Please see [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Firewalls this].

TS3212 i downloaded itunes on my windows 7 computer, but when i try running the setup file, it says it's not a valid win32 file. how do i fix this?

i just bought a brand new HP computer with the windows 7 and i'm trying to download itunes on my computer. I've used the email and a new one for the download. it'll go through the process of downloading the itunes setup, but when i go to the downloads folder in my computer and click on the file, it says it's not a valid Win32 file and won't open. I've tried downloading the 64 bit version to se if that was the problem, but even that won't work. please help!

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.

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

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.

When I try to install Firefox with the 6.0 setup, it says it's not a valid win32 application, this is on windows xp any way to fix?

It is an oldish computer running windows XP, moving to firefox since I used it on my laptop and wanted to put it on this computer. I ran the setup and it says it is not a valid win32 application and closes, well i say close, it barey opens. i also tried saving the setup and runnig it that way but that failed as well. I might just download an older version of firefox, but I'd love to use the latest one.

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"
