Is the message that the file you're trying to run is 'not
a valid win32 application'? If so, you need the DOS
windows on Windows component. If not, it's most likely
that you're missing some other component. For example,
when I tried running the blaster virus on my system, it
complained about a missing .dll it needed to run.
What application is it you're trying to install, and
what's the exact error message?

Linda,
The exact error message is "Setup.exe is not a valid Win32
application".
The application i am trying to install is a C++
application. I added Windows installer into my image to
add the functionality of installing applications.
Thanks for your help.
Vinay Kant.

Vinay,

Did you install then component: Dos Windows on Windows like Heidi
suggested? I had the same problem. It worked for me.
