I'm getting this strange error message when I try to run the installation file for certain applications like total copy

It claims it is not a valid Win32 application and refuses to launch. Does anybody know what may be the cause?
 
do they make it for diff types of os's ??

Sometimes that happens also if it is'nt compatible with the OS you are running ..
 
no, this should be xp actually I got this same error message with the latest install file for the mozilla firebird .8 build as well..
 
It's your combatility issues. You know the option where you can tell applications this os is say windows 98 in xp. My reg was glitched out and it was some how set to default Windows 95. Just check that and also try search msdn or technet.

hell, I'll search for you.

Change the file name. Change it to '1'.(Lol you probably know already without quotes').

Sometimes I got that when trying to install xara plugin.

Yeah also change it's compatiblilty to win95 that works for me also 90% of times.

Could also try to reinstall vbrun6sp5 if thats the file name, that could help also.

I had a similar problems, look in the registry on the default to open .exe files.. a virus or whatever screwd up mine, and tried to put all these extra commands inside of the program. It can be very messy to fix, and I'm not sure how to, but i did mange it, so you can too.

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
