Answer 1

You cannot just copy the software from one computer to another, you need to install the software. When you install any software, there are many other files associated to the main .exe file to run. If those files are not found you get error messages.

But if you are getting the error message such as above "application not valid win32", that means, this particular application is actually not a valid executable file, for example try to do something like this:

Choose a picture file like IMG0039.JPG and rename it to IMG0039.EXE, now double click to run this .exe file and you will get the error "application not valid win32".


Try re-installing the application, sometimes you also get such error if the installed file is corrupted. Re-installing the application will should solve the problem and also check your computer for errors by following this:

On windows XP
- Open My Computer, select the drive you want to check for errors, usually it is C:
- Right click on C: then click on properties,
- click on the tools tab and click on Check Now.
