Trying to install TweakUI but get: TweakUIPowertoySetup_ia64.exe is not a
valid WIN32 application. What to do? What does this mean?
 
KK,

It's because you've downloaded "Tweak UI for Itanium™-based systems". Here is the correct URL:

TweakUI v2.10 for Windows XP SP1/XP MCE/2003
http://download.microsoft.com/downl...a6-b352-839afb2a2679/TweakUiPowertoySetup.exe

TweakUI v2.00 for Windows XP/XP MCE
http://download.microsoft.com/download/whistler/Install/2/WXP/EN-US/TweakUiPowertoySetup.exe

Click to expand...

You have managed to get to the version for the 'Itanium 64 bit' version
of TweakUI. If you have installed XP SP1 go to
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/pro/downloads/powertoys.asp

And it is the *upper* entry on the right., 147KB. You picked up the
larger, lower one

If you have not installed SP1, the earlier version can be found at
http://download.microsoft.com/download/whistler/Install/2/WXP/EN-US/TweakUiPowertoySetup.exe
 
When I click on the download links, it redirects me to a page that says
"Oops! This link appears broken." What do I do? Is there somewhere else that
I can download TweakUI?

Hello All,

Running WinXP with Service Pack 3 I download ver. 2 and ver. 2.10 from links
above and receive the same error, "Not a valid win32 bit application". Any
thoughts?
Thanks
