Sid Meiers Gettysburg! is not a valid Win32

C:/Program Files / ofFiraxis Games /Sid MeierGettysburg ! lee.exe is not a Win32 application invalid


That's what I'm greeted by trying to play Gettysburg of Meier.

It took forever to find a way to install the game to start (Kernel32.dll errors) but I was able to install the game. I tried my Windows compatibility program, also tried as admin, tweaking the compatibility settings and the download of the update of XP of Gettysburg (which, with me under Vista, it may be, was not the best idea)

So, what can I do? Anyone? This isn't for me, it of for my father who has really loves this game and doesn't really have much else is happening in his life. Since getting this computer, he was with "Antinem" that it just doesn't feel as good as Gettysburg.

Hi TheBRADLeyB

The game is not compatible with Windows Vista. For more information, you can consult the following link:

http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/compatibility/Windows-Vista/search.aspx?type=software&s=SID%20Meiers%20Gettysburg

You may need to contact the manufacturer and see if they have updates on the same.

Now the only option is to run the game in XP compatibility mode and see if you can run the game without problems.

For more information about executing a program in compatibility mode, see the following link.

Hope this information is useful.

  • D:\ is not a valid win32 application. CD/DVD drive reads music CDs, but no installation CD

    I recently reinstalled my Thinkpad T42.  After installing XP and install all updates, I tried to install Microsoft Office Pro 2003 by CD-ROM.  My CD/DVD is not able to read the CD and gives the following error D:\ is not a valid win32 application.  The drive can read music CDs and works correctly.  The Office 2003 installation cd is clean and works on other computers.

    Any suggestions?

    Thank you

    Yes, you are right logically.

    Now I see two sceenarios for the solution to analyze your clues:

    Number 1: Technically on the media (e.g - CD/DVD) in what place (at level nm) is the setup.exe, which might be a little corrupted or overburn.

    To read the corrupted or overburn data recording Media(e.g-CD/DVD), lens optical drive must be precisely align / optimized. But your workout goal isn't in this top performance more. So that it can read only where another player can read that.

    Actually lose everything in a music or movie playback by laser beam data a bit do not count a lot (maybe a drop of a sound level of a few nanoseconds which is missed by our ear) but to read a file .exe must be exact to change a little vital file execution make the whole file unreadable garbage before System. But such laser weakened to run well on music & movies.

    To resolve the installation of MS Office thet you just copy all the content of the disc to your HARD drive & then try to install. If the problem persists copy the .exe to install a USB key, the other car that can be read. Then replace the HARD disk by the corrupt.

    Number 2: (Associated virus infection) Your system might be infected severely by code viral insertion of viruses. While any execution of .exe file is impossible on the system, CD/DVD and HARD disk USB storage etc & they won't take their appropriate icons. Basically, he attacks the windows installer component & ban the user to install/play no matter what .exe file that require the help of Win Setup. So in this case change media with a new will not solve the problem. Except for the removal of the virus or system shape. So, you can use free Malwarebytes to scan.

    You can use eset online scanner , scan side by side with

    Microsoft® Windows® malicious software removal tool.

    On the last day of your Windows install 4.5 at the bottom of the link that might help too:

    Windows install 4.5 for 32-bit Windows XP

    Also will help restore registry associated with .exe.

    Conclusion: I'm going to, I said that the title of the thread is not quite right, as you cannot read data from a particular MS Office installation media. But this is not the case with any medium of data disc or installation. At least until your DVD drive so were unable to read all files on the disc, then it might be a pure hardware problem. But as you can see all the files except the .exe files, then there is an uncertain probability of hardware problem.

    Now, you do the analysis & tell me is happening with any media/.exe to install file. Who here has solved your problem

    Ask for additional assistance if necessary.

    Hi tarmacsnortingmonster,

    That is the reason why I n t play with any 3rd themes part because I always read from time to time on various problems after installation. So I don't use Windows themes pre-installed and don t have problems.

    In any case, I think you should try a system restore to an earlier point before installing this theme.
    I hope this helps if not it is time to reinstall Windows, I think that :(

  • Fallout trilogy > problem download > Fallout (E :) > E: / is not a valid Win32 Application.)

    I just got the trilogy Fallout game for Christmas. I was downloading on my Windows XP laptop. I jumped the drive and nothing happened. I checked the computer room to look for the removable disk, I found Fallout (E :) and clicked on it, it normally start the Setup and let the installation program to download, then install, so allow me to play the game.)

    But when I clicked on what came was "E: / is not a valid Win32 Application."

    I assume that Win32 is Windows XP? And on the game, it says it requires OS: Win90/2000/XP with DirectX 7.0 or later/Vista version.

    I just got my laptop completely wipe clean and load Windows XP on it to him. He used to have Windows Vista Home Basic, the Fallout 1 game, I used to have downloaded without problem. Fallout trilogy has 1 Fallout, Fallout 2 and Fallout Tactics: Brotherhood of Steel.

    If you can please tell me how I can download this soon so I can play the game, I'm pretty frustrated and upset because my cousin has spent hours looking for this game, and it was the last available at the 5th GameStop he went to.

    Hello

    Here is some information that may be beneficial to get a resolution to your inquiry.

    If you had installed Fallout3 mode "Run As Amin" and will still have problems.  Uninstallation of Fallout 3.  Install the following Microsoft DirectXhttp://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyID=2da43d38-db71-4c1b-bc6a-9b6652cd92a3 and that reinstall Fallout 3, mode 'run as administrator '.

    Do not install the latest patch yet.  Run Fallout3.  If it works well, do a system restore point.  Then install the latest patch.

    In addition, when a right click on the .exe file, it should be a 'compatibility' tab, if necessary, please try to install the .exe file in Windows XP SP2.  I hope that this information is beneficial.

    Thank you
