"Not a valid Win32 application." What does this me

Post by Gandalf »

I bought a German language program a few days ago, today I got around to installing it. When I clicked setup.exe, I got an error message saying that setup.exe was not a valid win32 application.

Does anyone have any idea what's going on?

The file is, apparently, corrupt. Maybe you can't read the CD-ROM correctly.

Thanks Crayz, I put the disk in another drive and now it's working.

Again, many thanks. :D
