"not a win32 application valid" I see this error for most .exe files
I used win7 evaluation copy (x 86). Then I format my laptop with the ultimate win7 (x 64). But now when I try to set up a file, it gives the error: "... not a valid win32 application." some of the extension .exe files work fine, but mainly I struggle with .exe files. And sometimes, there is also a CRC error occurs.
I try to format it again with my old vista(x86) recovery cd but I have seen the same problem. and then I tried win7 x 64 again. but there is always the same problem. I also tried to download the files that I wanted in the Setup program, but it does not solve the problems.
How should I know?
Irmakkk,

The reason for this error is usually because the app is for windows 7 or vista.

Not a win32 application valid for all program + can't run bugs.
Not a single program is running, simply saying that it is not a win32, even with programs of Windows application. I can only access my default browser by typing a url in a title of file.

"Not a win32 application invalid" error
Hi all
I am running Vista Home Basic, and this problem just started happening recently. It's okay that I download, whenever I try to launch it, I get the error "not a win32 application valid." I checked all support topics I can find on the subject, but I can't seem to understand. Any suggestions?

the menu desktop shortcuts and start to return a *.lnk not a win32 application invalid
shortcuts on the desktop and start menu retrun all error "*.lnk not a win32 application valid." applications work at the opening of the program files folder, but when I send the request to the computer desk or crerate a shortcut and drag on the desktop, I get the same Win32 error when I try to open them from the desktop
You can try the solution from this article: fixes for Windows Vista file association (I know, it's for Vista, but it contains exactly the same values in the registry for .lnk)
But I'm confused because this issue should only concern the specific account, if this account contains more extra value in the registry: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.lnk\UserChoice (this path should not exist in the registry). I mentioned only the key main ".lnk" with two subkeys: "OpenWithList" and "OpenWithProgids", I understand that you do not have this key "UserChoice"?
...
If the solution above does not work you can always try: difficulty of a user profile is corrupted

I have an intermittent (about 19 times out of 20) on a Pavilion DV7-3060us BIOS failure. After that you press power, the fan and the light turns on, the screen remains black and lock/num lock flashing twice, pause, flash twice, etc.. Sometimes, the computer will boot normally to Win7. Near as I can understand, I need to reflash the BIOS. I downloaded the image file winflash/BIOS (SP47531.exe) the drivers and software page, but when I try to run it, I get a "...". not a Win32 valid request"message.
Any advice on how to get this file to run it, or another method to solve the failure of startup issue, would be very much appreciated.
So much worse... apparently the problem is I downloaded the file through Chrome. Downloaded with IE on another machine, recorded on a USB key, it connected the USB on the machine of problem without difficulty. Does not seem to have solved my problem starting, but the 'valid not a Win32 application' error has been resolved.

My game says that it is not "a win32 application.
I have a couple of SNES games that I downloaded for play. Both give me the "not a win32 application" when I try to open them. I have 3 different emulators responsible, none of them will simply open the game. I have to go through programs, find the game, find the rom and open it. This means that I can't save any of them, because he made me start a new game each time taking this road. How can I change the soft 'win32 '? What is "win32"?
Hi venlost,
you're poorly understand the concept of emulation. It works like a virtual machine: imitate you (virtualization) a disk, you do not have (in this case: a SNES / Super Famicom console) and a virtual disc (in this case: a virtual SNES cartridge) in this player. There is nothing to 'open' your operating system. You put your *.smc (= Roma SNES) files in the folder of the emulator (preferably), start the emulator and load the ROM in the memory. The emulator behaves like a real console, acknowledges the inserted cartridge (= the ROM loaded) and the game starts. -Btw: If your ROMs are files '.exe' (which could give the "Win32" error), there is something wrong.
