• Cannot install windows live messenger, wlsetup is not a valid win32 application or wlsetup is obsolete!

  I tried to download windows live messenger after a new new copy of windows xp.
  I received the following error message (wlsetup is not a valid win32 application), I realized the the version I'm trying to install is only supported by windows 7 or windows vista. So I tried to download windows live install for xp, but I received the following error message (use windows update to download the latest version of windows install, then try again.) Your version of windows install is obsolete. MSI audit: 0 x 80280002). Now I'm stuck!
  I couldn't find a soluton in the forums of Windows live.
  Any help would be appreciated.

  Windows install is what is used to install programs. Have you checked if there is an update as they said and you have the latest Service Pack?

  You can answer these questions then try this:

  1. go to this site - http://ninite.com/
  2. scroll down a bit to mail and put a check mark on Messenger (2009).
  3. scroll to the bottom of the page, and then click Get Installer.
  4 run.

  It must be hard when things do not work as expected. We will analyze and identify the cause of the problem. Please answer a few questions to refine the question.

  1. What are the steps you tried to solve the problem?

  2. do you receive any error messages?

  3. What is the brand and model of the computer?

  4. deal with any issue when running Windows updates? You try to upgrade to Windows 8.1?

  5 is this problem specific to any application or applications behave the same way? What happens when you open the store?

  It is recommended to ensure that Windows Update works correctly so that the operating system is functioning normally.

  This problem normally occurs when there is some incorrect settings in applications. You can follow the procedure described here and check the results.

• «.. . 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.

  I found similar problems in the media, but they always a specific .exe or .dll. I have not found that address this kind of

  Although I have not worked as in depth with Windows Vista, I used to install, configure and support business (including beta versions) on Windows NT and XP applications, so I'm not exactly a novice working with programs installed on Windows, I'm completely baffled by this.

  Anyone?

  If you have been infected by malware, the safest bet is to reinstall.
