Win32 Application is not valid

My son purchased an iPod Touch last month. Since my daughter has an iPod Nano and already has iTunes, I figured that his iTouch would work. Well, I was wrong. It turns out that my daughters iTunes is an older version and that I needed to download a newer version in order for his iTouch to work on our computer. I went on the iTunes website and attempted to download the newest version of iTunes, but my attempt failed. Whenever iTunes finishes downloading, a message will come up on my computer screen that says "The Win32 Application is not valid". I have tried and tried again to redownload iTunes, but nothing has worked. I have a dial-up connection, so I do not know if that is the reason why the latest version of iTunes will not work. My daughter had this very same problem with her iTunes and she somehow got it to successfully download but does not remember how she did. Anyone know how to fix this problem? I really do not want to have to take my sons iTouch back to the store as I spent almost $300 dollars on it as a gift. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

  • Win32 application not valid

    Awhile ago I posted a topic about iTunes 7.0.I am having trouble downloading the new software.Whenever I finish downloading the iTunes 7.0 software,a message pops up on the screen that says 'The publisher cannot be verified'.I still click run,and another message pops up that says 'The Win32 application is not valid'.I have a dial-up connection,so I don't know if my connection has something to do with this.What does this mean?Is there any way I can fix this problem so I can successfully download iTunes 7?
    I really don't want to end up taking my iPod Nano back to the store.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    OK, I too had this problem, was at it for 2 1/2 days. My girlfriend bought her son an ipod also, she got a disc with hers that I didn't get with mine. I picked up her disc last night and this is what i did. I installed the disk, big help. But then I had to go into my system configuration utility setup and under the general tab you select selective setup, and load system services then click launch or ok. I tried to write everything down while I was doing it. It worked for me because was able to get on and d/l songs onto my sons ipod nano.
    I know it is fustrating but this is what worked for me. I think it is a block on your computer to not let something from another computer company (apple) onto your computer.
    Anyway, I hope it works for anyone who tries it.
    GOOD LUCK!

  • 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.

  • Error in win32 application

    Hi,
    I am installing SAP ECC6.0 SR 2
    when im trying clicking on oracle_client setup.exe file it shows an error as application is not valid
    please help me on this issue.
    krishna

    Hi Friend,
    The error; win32 application occur due to the operating system level but not  because of sap programs. To resolve the issue, you may need to rename the folder "My documents" in the location C:\documents&settings\My documents folder and disable the AntiVirus that is installed on your system and try to do the oracle client installation with setup.exe file.
    Please update me with the issue, I will provide you with suitable workaround.
    Thanks
    Bye,

  • 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?

  • ITunes set up gives an error message saying not a "valid win32 application"

    I am using Windows 7 and trying to download iTunes, but when I try to open the iTunes set up it gives an error message saying that it is not a "valid win32 application". It does the same for downloading quicktime. I have no idea what this means or what to do about it.

    That suggests that the installer is getting damaged during the download.

  • When i try to install Firefox 4 on my 64 bit Windows 7 Ultimate, error that it is not a valid win32 application

    When I downloaded the Firefox 4 installer and tried to install the software, an error message appeared that the application was not a valid win32 application. have deleted the file, re-downloaded it but with same effect. Therefore I cannot install Firefox 4
    I have Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit, 4 GB internal memory,

    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"

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    To troubleshoot, we tried running the x86 version of scanstate.exe (from USMT from the Windows 8.1 ADK) manually by just double clicking on it on a few Windows XP SP3 systems and we get a similar error as seen below...
    So, we thought maybe USMT from our Windows 8.1 ADK install maybe somehow corrupt, but downloading and installing it again results in the same error, so it does not seem to be a file corruption issue.   The x64 version of scanstate.exe works
    fine on 64-bit OS's, its just Windows XP SP3 (32-bit) we are seeing this error.
    Has anyone successfully using scanstate.exe from USMT 5.0 from the Windows 8.1 ADK successfully to capture user state from a Windows XP SP3 (32-bit) system?
    Regards,
    JJ

    Windows 8.1 ADK comes with a newer version of USMT (NOT 5.0) and crashes. I learned this today the hard way. I hope Windows 8.0 ADK's loadstate.exe works for restoring to a 8.1 machine.
    Yesterday i used Windows Easy Transfer to move from XP to 7, and then re-did the backup in 7 so it would be compatible with 8.1, and it only restores files, not settings.
    So i will test USMT 5.0 in this same scenario, because i have 30 machines to change to newer machines with 8.1

  • Error when installing VMM - %1 is not a valid Win32 application

    Hi all
    I'm attemping an install of SCVMM and despite installing all prerequisites I'm faced with the following when I launch the installer/disc and click 'Install':
    "Error starting the Virtual Machine Manager Setup Wizard. %1 is not a valid Win32 application"
    this error is the proceeded with another:
    "Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable was not successfully installed. The selected Virtual Machine Manager feature cannot be installed without this prerequisite. Retry setup or manually install Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable
    from Microsoft Download Center."
    The latter package is already installed and I have re-downloaded and re-installed as well to no avail. All .Net packages are installed too.
    I'm running a Windows Server 2012 R2 x64 virtual machine in a HyperV host (HyperV Server 2012) and have navigated the disc and launched the "SetupVMM.exe" located in the amd64 directory as I realise the above Win32 error points to a x86 application
    - still no joy, the same errors!
    I have tried the installer in a VMWare 2012 server with the same error and on a physical Windows 7 machine again same error so this makes me think I'm either missing something basic or have overlooked something seems the environment doesn't seem to make
    a difference (although obviously not attempted a x86 environment but SCVMM is listed as x86 or x64).
    This is for a lab test and personal experience before production so I realise running SCVMM within a virtual machine that is hosted on the same hypervisor isn't good practice - but it's a start :)
    Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.
    Sam

    Are you installing directly from the ISO? If so, you can try with a new ISO in case this is broken. Also make sure your machine is joined to the domain and that you are executing the setup in the context of a local administrator.
    Eventually, try to copy the ISO to local disk and run setup from there.

  • 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?

  • When I try to open Firefox 4.0 I get an error message saying that it is not a valid Win32 Application. What do I do? I am using Windows XP Sp3

    I downloaded Firefox 4.o exe. When I tried to open it I got an error message stating that it was not a valid Win32 application. I am using windows XP SP3. How do I get it to open?

    [[Firefox is already running but is not responding]] has steps that you can try. It sounds like you may have something that is hanging your browser on exit (probably an extension or a locked profile) and the steps on that page should help clear it up.

  • ITunesSetup.exe not a valid WIN32 Application????

    I've been deployed to Afghanistan for the past 13 months and have another 4 to go. I'm trying to download Itunes 7.0.2 and when I go to install it I get an error that reads ITunesSetup.exe is not a valid WIN32 application. What the **** does this mean. I only have a couple of days to get this fixed and my Ipod crashed with that RavMon virus lastnight. Anyone please help

    I had the very same problem with installing, and have no idea what it means. I've searched all over support, and asked the very same question about 4 months back.
    One odd thing about it, though. It didn't seem to make a difference when installing. The installer would get partially finished, and the error would appear. The installer would then start "rolling back actions" and when you would think it would close, it would start back up again. I have no idea why, but the installation completed normally, and my itunes works fine.
    If it doesn't work the first time, try it a couple more times. That's what happened with me.
