  • «.. . DLL is not designed to run on windows... 'and/or'... .exe is not a valid win32 application... ' and/or 'bad image '.

    Programs will no longer work until I reboot (uh, it's rebooting) with one of the following error messages: "...". DLL is not designed to run on windows... 'and/or'... .exe is not a valid win32 application... ' and/or 'bad image '.

    Since I got a malware infection (CloudShield) I have had this problem since. At one point I was Windows Vista (could be minutes, hours or days - it varies) to get one or more of these messages for a variety of programs and the dll for things that worked perfectly well until there.  The most recent was to explore "Explorer.exe is not a windows 32 application '! Obviously, I couldn't have been using my computer and opening existing as an Excel document files and the Explorer window that is currently open if this were true!  Everything I run worked fine, until suddenly something I try to open opens more and gives me one of the errors above.  This does not happen when I run mode without failure.

    I managed to repair some of the damage generated by the CloudShield, including how it has disabled my task manager and other programs of the Control Panel, in what I could find on registry cleaning and removing the exe file that he had pointed to. There is clearly something wrong again. I run sfc/scannow and tried the other recommendations in "http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929833" who have found no problem.  I use Zonealarm and have run its auditor of the filesystem a couple of times (on the entire Program Files folder and the Temp files) and not found anything wrong either.

    Hello

    I'm on a computer running Windows XP Professional and that you want to open an Excel 2007 using Excel 2003 file and I said I need to download and run a program of conversion of Microsoft.  When I try to run the program I get the following message: "FileFormatConverters.exe is not a valid Win32 application".  I have all the updates that are required for Windows XP and Office on my computer and don't know what to do next.  I also tried to run the program by saving the first file and running right from the download process.  Any advice would be appreciated.

    I solved the problem.  I downloaded the program using Firefox rather than Internet Explorer 8 and had no problem installing fileformatconverters.exe

In the 13th stage, I'm stuck. I get error -k:\boot\bootsect.exe is not a valid win32 application that I am running a 32 bit OS. Is anyway to change this?

    Some sites offer a free download of a 32-bit version of Windows 7 is bootsect.exe. Should I replace my bootsect.exe 64 (present in my file ISO Win7x64Ultimate of origin) with a 32 bit one and create an ISO file with the rest of the intact files, I'll be able to get through the 13th stage?

    If you have purchased Widnows 7 since the MS Store:

    When you create a bootable USB device, I get an error on bootsect
    To make the USB bootable, you must run a tool called bootsect.exe. In some cases, this tool must be downloaded from your Microsoft Store account. This can happen if you try to create a USB bootable 64-bit from 32-bit version of Windows. To download bootsect:

    1. Sign in to your Microsoft Store account to view your purchase history
    2. Search for your purchase of Windows 7.
    3. Next to Windows 7, there is a drop-down list "additional download options.
    4. In the drop-down menu, select "32-bit ISO."
    5. Right-click on the link and then save the bootsect.exe file to the location where you installed the Windows 7 USB/DVD Download Tool (for example C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Apps\Windows 7 USB DVD Download Tool).
    6. Once the file has been saved, return to the Windows 7 USB/DVD Download tool to create your bootable USB device.

    If you do not - Instructions I could find:

    Follow these instructions to work around the bootsect error:

    c. Once downloaded, copy the BootSect.exe file in the same folder that contains the file ofWindows7-USB-DVD-Download - Tool.exe installed. This file in Windows Vista's default installation directory isC:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Apps\Windows 7 USB DVD Download Tool\ (you need to look in XP)

    d. application of the Windows 7 USB/DVD download tool as described on theMicrosoft Store website. The end result will give you a boot USB flash drive that contains everything you need to install the 64 bit version of Windows 7.
