not a valid Win32 application.

[Chandu]

Folks,
I have Windows XP on my machine and I downloaded Oracle 9.0.2 from
Oracle website and when I unzip the files and click on Setup.exe, I get

the message c:\downloads\disk1\setup.exe is not a valid Win32
application.


I did complete virusscan, rebooted the machine, tried to unzip the
files into a different folder and everytime I am getting the same
message.


Can anyone help me in fixing this.


Thanks.

Hi,

Delete it, clear the temp folders, then download it again. Most times this
indicates a corrupt download. Otherwise, you may have a viral problem.

There are two main causes for this error basically:
- There is a problem with the downloaded file and it may b
corrupted...Try downloading it again
- You are attempting to install a 64 bit application on a 32 bi
computer...Therefore, try and download the 32 bit version if possibl
for the 32 bit computer.
- The third reason, is if you don't have the necessary applicatio
installed. Sometimes there are files required before actuall
installing the program. Check their websites if there are an
requirements. Hope this helps.
