When I try to open a downloaded software, a window says exe. is not a valid win32 application

i downloaded skype update and when I click open a window pops saying C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\My Documents\Downloads\SkypeSetup(1).exe is not a win32 application

What's the name of the file you are attempting to open? Is it "ScreenFlow_4.5.2.dmg"? If it is the correct name then the message is correct and you are attempting to open a file with DMG files extension and not one with a PDF file extension. Adobe Reader opens PDF files an not any other file type.

Each time you connect your iPhone to iTunes, you need to eject it before closing iTunes by clicking on the little "eject" icon shown in iTunes. It seems that sometime in the past, you did not do that.
I'm not sure how to undo the previously done damage, but maybe a reboot of your Mac would help.

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"

In the course of your troubleshooting to date have you worked through the following document?
iTunes: Windows reports that "iTunesSetup.exe is not a valid Win32 application"

I am trying to download icloud control panel via icloudsetup.exe to windows Toshiba laptop and get a message" \icloudsetup.exe is not a valid Win32 application. Can anyone help? I am new to Apple stuff.

Need help for icloud photo stream, have activated ps on iphone 4 and set up icloud back up for email, contacts, iwork, and find my ihone. Need to find photos that we thought were being saved/shared as well but evidently not. Found on another search that I may need the icloud control panel so tried to download it but when try to install i get, C:\Users\Downloads\icloudsetup.exe is not a valid Win32 application. I am using a Toshiba laptop with windows 7, which the system requirements are met. I am new to Apple stuff, so any and all help would be greatly appreciated.

It suggests the installer is getting damaged during the download.
I'd first try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/
If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?

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

SAP Download Manager exe: " is not a valid win32 application"

Hi,
I just cannot find any solution this issue.
I downloaded from the SDN the SAP Solution Manager (exe File) to a 64 bit machine.
But when I double click the EXE-File to start the installation I get the following error message:
....exe is not a valid win32 application.
The machine is a 64 bit one so I woinder what the win32 is required?
All the solutions I can find are talking about virus etc.. but I do not believe this.
Any feedback?
Best regards

Hi,
yes DLM is a java application but normaly it should be installed via the exe file. This is what I wonder.
I just did the following:
Manual installation
Download the Download Manager Java Archive (958 KB).
Copy it to a directory where it can permanently reside:
Open a shell ("command prompt") and change directory (type: cd 'the directory name') to the directory to which the Download Manager Java Archive was copied.
At the prompt, type: java -classpath "DLManager.jar" dlmanager.Application
The Download Manager application starts up
And it works now by this means it be started.
But I wish to install it and be also listed under the installed programs.
Anyway I can live with this now
Thanks

Can't open FF. Says "firefox.exe is not a valid Win32 application."

When I click the Mozilla desktop icon, I hear a "beep," and the pop-up with a red "X" says... "firefox.exe is not a valid Win32 application."
That's as far as I get.

This suggests that the installer has been damaged during downloading.
One thing you can try is using a different browser to see if that helps.
If you are in Australia this has been associated with using a USB Dongle connected to a wireless broadband provider.
It seems that routers can also cause the problem.
The simplest thing is to get a friend to download the installer for you and put it on a USB stick. Preferably a copy they know works.

743 download will not run - msg says it is "not a valid Win32 application"

We have ipod nanos which we use itunes with. We just got the newest nano which requires the 743 version, so I downloaded and saved it, but when I tried to run it, I got the message that it is "not a valid Win32 application". the new download is in my documents folder, but will not run. I tried going on to itunes to troubleshoot, but it told me to delete the download and try again. the only itunes I could find was the older version I am using. If I delete that, it will erase all my existing music, correct??? I DON'T want to loose my music again (been thru that when getting new computer). I did go to my documents and erase the 743 download in there, but when I tried to download it again, I got a message saying I already have it, and it shows up in my documents again.
PS I tried to back up my music on my flash drive, but it would not transfer to my new computer, so I have no backup. I need to install the new version to get music on my new nano. Any suggestions??? Getting frustrated. Thanks! Penny http://www.theallensisters.com

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?

I keep getting this message when I try to open Firefox."C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe is not a valid Win32 application" What can I do? I have tried uninstalling and re-install. Ths

I am running Windows 7 . It happened without any changes being made. I downloaded the install file several different times and even turned off my Kaspersky A/V when I installed.

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?
