EXE Error "the application or DLL C:\WINDOWS\system32\WINHTTP.dll is not a valid Windows image

When I try to download & install programs, the following error message "[program] .exe" is displayed: "the application or DLL C:\WINDOWS\system32\WINHTTP.dll is not a valid Windows image.  Please check this against your installation diskette. "All the solutions out there?

Hi pixietra,

1. did you of recent changes on the computer?

2. what browser you use to download programs on the computer?

3. it happens with any download and installation of the program?

4. do you have security software installed on the computer?

I suggest that scan you SFC on the computer that would be a system file corrupt on the computer search and replace.

The analysis may take some time, so be patient. Windows allows to fix corrupt or missing files it finds. If the information of the installation CD is required to fix the problem, you may be asked to insert your Windows XP installation CD.

    Original title: bad image.

    I get two errors of bad image whenever I open a program or start a computer, for each program.  the error that says "the application or DLL is not a valid windows image. "Please check this against your installation diskette" I don't have any disk and don't know what to do.

    These file names, look a little suspicious and didn't get good Google search results, so I think that the first thing to do is to tell us a little about your system.  Now you can enjoy when you report a problem, provide you with any error messages you see and not a part of it (not paraphrase either).

    The second thing to do is to try to be reasonably sure that your system is free of malware and then if you have these problems, you can fix them (which would be the third thing to do).

    I still wonder why the Microsoft Support Engineer made you reference to an article that makes no sense at all...

    The first thing to do:

    Unfortunately, MS Answers forums does not prompt for any information system when a new question is asked, so we don't know anything on your system.

    Because the Microsoft Answers forum does not ask for any type of information system when a new question is asked so we don't know anything about your system.  Not knowing the basic information a problem prolongs the frustration and the agony of these issues.

    Thank you MS Answers, allowing the resolution of simple problems as frustrating and a lot of time as possible.

    Provide information on your system, the better you can:

    What is your system brand and model?

    Your system have IDE or SATA disks?

    Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Symantec, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, MSE, Panda, Trend Micro, CA, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, Comodo, etc..

    The question was preceded by a loss of power, aborted reboot or abnormal termination?  (this includes the plug pulling, buttons power, remove the battery, etc.)

    The afflicted system has a working CD/DVD (internal or external) drive?

    You have a true bootable XP installation CD (it is not the same as any recovery CD provided with your system)?

    The second thing to do:

    Download, install, update and do a full scan with these free malware detection programs:
    Malwarebytes (MMFA): http://malwarebytes.org/

    Hey Todd-Cindy-MorganBurris,

    1. Did you the latest changes on the computer?
    2. When was the last time it was working fine?
    3. You have security software installed on the computer?
    4. You are able to boot into Windows after the error message?

    Method 1

    If you are unable to boot into Windows then check if the problem persists in safe mode.

    A description of the options to start in Windows XP Mode

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/315222

    Method 2

    If the problem does not persist in safe mode, then it is possible that some third-party programs installed on the computer is causing the problem.

    I suggest that you put the computer in a clean boot state and check if it helps.

    To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows XP by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

    See section to learn more about how to clean boot.

    How to configure Windows XP to start in a "clean boot" State

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/310353

    Reset the computer to start as usual

    When you are finished troubleshooting, follow these steps to reset the computer to start as usual:

    (a) click Start, type msconfig in the search box and press ENTER.

    (b) If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password or click on continue.

    (c) under the general tab, click the Normal startup option, and then click OK.

    (d) when you are prompted to restart the computer, click on restart.

    Method 3

    If you can boot into safe mode and clean boot procedure don't help then I would suggest that scan you SFC on the computer that will search the corrupted system files and check if that helps.

    The analysis may take some time, so be patient. Windows allows to fix corrupt or missing files it finds. If the information of the installation CD is required to fix the problem, you may be asked to insert your Windows XP installation CD.

    Think like a malicious software...
    It infects your system and is not to be found and removed.
    What are you most likely to use to find and remove malware?
    Internet, Google, Task Manager, regedit, restore the system command prompt, etc...
    The malware is often afflicts one or more of these components to try to trick into thinking you need to perform a system restore, a repair facility, or even to reinstall your XP from scratch.  None of these things are necessary since you can usually just to thwart malware.
    If the referenced files are completely absent from your system, you will see messages like this when you try to run the applications:
    Taskmgr.exe - Unable to locate component
    This application has failed to start because VDMDBG.dll is not found.  Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.
    Rstrui.exe - Unable to locate component
    This application has failed to start because framedyn.dll was not found.  Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.
    Sometimes you can click through the OK messages to access the System Restore screen, but the restoration of the system is still broken.
    If the referenced files are present on the system, but somehow corrupted, you will see messages like this when you try to run the applications:
    Taskmgr.exe - bad Image
    The application or DLL C:\WINDOWS\system32\VDMDBG.dll is not a valid Windows image.  Please check this against your installation diskette.
    Rstrui.exe - bad Image
    The application or DLL C:\WINDOWS\system32\wbem\framedyn.dll is not a valid Windows image.  Please check this against your installation diskette.
    Sometimes you can click through the OK messages to access the System Restore screen, but the restoration of the system is still broken.
    These files are part of the file 3498 who cares about Windows File Protection, so unless the WFP is also broken it is likely that files are missing completely (you get a different error message).  What is more likely is that the files are somehow corrupt or have been replaced by incorrect files.
    Assuming that XP is installed on your C drive and in the windows folder, XP keeps copies of 3498 files that he cares about this issue:
    c:\Windows\System32\dllcache
    On a health care system, Windows File Protection keeps track of 3498 protected files and quickly and quietly replaces all the files in the list that appears missing from the backup folder.  File protection Windows will not replace the files if they are somehow corrupted or replaced by bad files.
    You can simply copy the backup files in the dllcache folder in the folder where are the suspects or missing files.
    Using Explorer, navigate to the folder c:\windows\system32\dllcache and individually to copy the backup files in there and then navigate the folders where the suspect or incorrect files are and paste in the copied files.
    Depending on your installation, you can also find copies of the files in this folder:
    c:\windows\ServicePackFiles\i386
    Answer Yes, if you are prompted to replace existing files.
    Test your functions now and then to reboot your system to make sure the changes 'stick', and then fix any problems.

    Do, or do not. There is no test.

    I get a dll error message that says: "the application or DLL C:\WINDOWS\system32\kizinone.dll is not a valid Windows image.  Please check this against your installation diskette.

    I went to the system registry to find the file it refers and is not a he.  I ran a norton registry cleanup and a virus scan.  I did find something online that made reference to this dll file.  The message appears at any time that I start a new program.  How to fix this, or find the virus that is the cause.

    A Google search for "[insert the name of the file]" grown up nothing. When you get no hits for a filename on Google, chances are high that it is a malicious program file. You did not when you get the message. If it's only at startup, either you have uninstalled the malware program or your antivirus/antispyware program did. In all cases, a reference has been left in the boot file. You can remove the reference by managing your startup. If you get the message during regular time on the computer and not not only at startup, your computer is still infected.

    Norton will do the job of cleaning and registry cleaners are garbage who at best will not do anything and the worst risk damage to your Windows installation.

    First of all, make sure that the computer is really free of virus/malware through these systematically - General malware removal steps http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/page2.html#Removing_Malware . Then, if the computer is really clean and you still receive the message, manage your Startup to remove the reference to the malware:

    Start > run > msconfig [Enter]

    This will open the System Configuration utility. Look under the Startup tab and find the likely culprit. Uncheck the box next to its name, apply and OK out. You don't need to restart immediately, but next time you do, you will get a dialog box saying that you have used the utility. Just check the box that says in effect, "don't mind to this subject again".

    Did the problem to the top after show installed new software and if so, what software?

    You have recently installed any type of remote control software?

    Now to fix it depends on how you are fixed to the boot media, since you'll have to start on something.

    We know that XP likes to keep the backup copies of critical system files in this folder:

    c:\Windows\System32\dllcache

    Knowing this, start in Recovery Console XP using your genuine XP bootable installation CD or if you have a genuine XP bootable installation CD, you can make one (no XP media required).  If you don't know what type of bootable media, you, do a CD of bootable XP Recovery Console and do not forget.

    If Yes, you want and are not in possession of a genuine XP bootable installation CD or a CD from Recovery Console XP bootable, the instructions to create a bootable XP Recovery CD of Console can / will be provided before any questioning begins.

    You can replace the missing file or suspect the XP Recovery Console by entering the following command:

    Copy c:\windows\system32\dllcache\odbcint.dll c:\windows\system32

    Answered in the affirmative if invited to replace the existing file and then you should see a message that 1 file (s) has been copied.

    If you get some type of a file not found message, the file is easily replaced using other methods.

    Remove the CD and type "exit" at the Recovery Console prompt to restart the system.

    Do, or do not. There is no test.
