Win 7 error of Upgrade Advisor all trying to run on 32-bit xp

It is now November 4, and yet I didn't find answer to my question on windows 7 upgrade advisor. I have a clean install of windows xp pro. all the current updates from tonight. No hardware conflict; nothing that would allow me to run Windows 7 upgrade advisor. I get the following message: Windows 7 upgrade advisor could not reach the server from microsoft for more compatibility information. Check your internet connection and try again.

now, I saw this same problem posted by others as early as may of this year and no solution so far. i 'v' e sought in the microsoft knowledge base, I searched here and finally I googled this problem without solution. If no solution is available, you can guys less let us know that the problem is not resolved, or there is not intend to fix it. whatever it either to the resolution on this subject would be appreciated.

Hi Demarmp,

Thanks for posting. Please uninstall and antivirus or third-party software and then try to re-run the Advisor.

I hope this helps!

  • I get a "not an application valid win 32 error" when I try to download and run a program

    Original title: win 32 error

    When I dounload one program and try to run it I get one is not a valid win32 application error. This happens on more than 1 program how to fix this?

    Hello

    ·         What program are you trying to install?

    ·         The program is compatible with Windows XP?

    ·         Since when are you facing this problem?

    ·         What web browser do you use to download a file?

    I suggest to delete temporary internet files from your computer, and then try to download the program, save it in a different location and try to install it from there.

     

    Get the error: not a valid 32-bit application can have several origins:

    I have listed some of them below.

    The file is corrupted, bad or missing.
    (a) if the hard drive is damaged or hurt it cause work programs to fail, either because not all data can be read from the hard drive the program is damaged on the drive. Run scandisk and defrag on the hard disk to check for potential errors.

    (b) If you are running the program from a shortcut on the computer, verify that the program is still on the computer. In some cases if the program is no longer installed on the computer, you can get this error.

    File is not designed for your version of Windows:


    (a) If you try to run a program that is not designed for your version of Windows, you can get this error.

    (b) Although many old programs designed to work in older versions of Windows will work with new versions of Windows, unfortunately, not all programs will not work.

    (c) if the program is an MS-DOS program more former start program or Windows, you can get this error.

    (d) if the program is designed for a 64-bit version of Windows and you are running in a 32-bit version of Windows, it will not work and generate this error.

    File is a virus, worm or other malicious program file.


    (a)
    this error can be generated by a file that is a virus, worm, Trojan horse or other type of malware file. Often, this will result because the antivirus installed on the computer will not allow the file to install or run. Try to analyze the file to check, it is not a virus or infected.

    (b) if the file has been checked and is clean, it is always possible that the virus protection program or a another program installed on the computer is at the origin of questions during installation or execution of the program. Start the computer in Mode safe and try to run the program. start the computer in Mode safe will be that nothing is running in the background that could cause this problem.

    Hardware incompatibility.

    one) If you get this error during the installation of a program, it is also possible that the CD-ROM drive or the drive that you are installing the program from is not compatible with Windows or drivers that are not compatible with Windows.

    (b) download the latest drivers for your CD player or other of the manufacturer of the computer or the manufacturer of the equipment. (Microsoft does not pilot for other materials)

    Follow these steps and check if that helps:

    Step 1:

    I suggest you to download and run the latest Microsoft security on your computer Scanner and check if it helps:

    http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

    Note: the data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means there is a risk of data loss.

     

    Step 2:

    I suggest you follow the troubleshooting steps form the article and check if it helps.

  • Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor will work (unexpected error)

    My Vista Machine won't work for Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor. It is said he "encountered an unexpected error" (not too informative, huh?) and advise the relocation, which does not.  Or no tweaking startup with msconfig and disable my antivirus/firewall. The program is in the "zone of confidence" anyway. How can I get a handle on this problem?

    Here are a few advanced WMI troubleshooting you can try.

    1. on Windows XP Pro and Vista, run the two separate commands to
    recreate the Windows Management Instrumentation database files.

    NOTE: Under vista, there must be run from an administrator command prompt commands

    1. click on start and type CMD
    2. search for 'command prompt' at the top of the window and right click / Select 'run as administrator '.

    type controls 2 successively, hitting enter after each one.

    WMIC \\root path "__espacenoms '" delete

    mofcomp %windir%\system32\wbem\wmi.mof

    2. If the problem persists after trying the above steps, save the
    WMI DLL files with the steps below.

    1. click on start and type CMD
    2. search for 'command prompt' at the top of the window and right click / Select 'run as administrator '.
    b. type the following commands one by one, and then press ENTER at the end of each
    command:

    CD /d %windir%\system32\wbem
    for %i in (*.dll) do RegSvr32 %I s
    for %i in (*.exe) do %i/regserver
    for /f %s in (' dir /b * .mof "" ') do mofcomp %s
    for /f %s in (' dir /b * .mfl ' ') do mofcomp %s

    Note: The WMI Tester window may appear, it is
    normal and we can move forward to close.

    Let me know if this helps, please also indicate any error you see in the above process.

  • Why the Microsoft Fingerprint Reader is reported as compatible in Windows 8 Upgrade Advisor when it is not compatible at all?

    I recently updated from Windows XP to Windows 8.

    I ran the Upgrade Advisor to check for any compatibility issues, at the time I had the Microsoft Fingerprint Reader plugged in and installed.

    The Adviser assured me it was compatible.

    I installed the upgrade and surprise, surprise... it does not work, there is no drivers for it, and the original drivers do not work as they are much too old to be signed.

    Now I could accept that he may have been a mistake, unless it's Microsoft peripheral brand... Surely they can get these right at least!

    Model name: 'Microsoft Fingerprint Reader.

    P/N: 800163-001 X

    Model: 1033
