I just discovered my DVD/CD drive is not working when I attempted to launch the windows 7 iso file 64bit.
So I used isobuster to extract the files to an external harddrive ( over 300 gig). However when I try to run the setup.exe file, I get the message "setup.exe is not a valid win32 app" - not sure why? My pc has 4 gig RAM and has AMD Athlon 64 processor?
I have windows 7 64 bit and i dled and installed windows debugging tool from here Windows Software Development Kit (SDK) for Windows 8 i'm aware it's for windows 8 but a thread on this forum directed me to it for windows 7 so.. idk. and i couldn't find Windows 7 versions
after installed, i tried to open a .dmp file from C:windowsminidump but i got this error

View 2 Replies View RelatedInstalling applications, including ones that say they are Win 7 compatible, I get "not valid win32 application". Letting the system adjust compatibility does no good.I got Visual Studio 2005 installed with a banner at the end about "compatibility issues", and then got that error on all attempts to update. I've erased that and have ordered VS2010. Instrument drivers that a client will need also give me that error, even though they are supposed to be good for Win 7.This is my first Win 7 machine, have stayed with Win XP Pro up to now. My client is going to need Win 7. I hate to force him to go back to Win XP mode
View 5 Replies View RelatedI need to install either windows XP or windows 7 on my USB stick so I can boot my computer from the USB and use it like a normal installation. Articles I read tell you how to install Windows on a USB but not how to allow your computer to boot from the USB like it would be a HDD. I know how to set up my BIOS and I don't need an explanation in that respect I just need a step by step guide or at least a good guide on how to install either XP or 7 onto a USB, not from I've done that 1,000,000 times.

Upon re-installing the language software I recieved a message stating "The application has failed to start because its side-by-side configuration is incorrect. Please see the application event log or use the command-line sxstrace.exe tool for more detail."However, when I try to open the sxstrace a little black screen flashes on my computer for a split second and then disappears but won't bring it up.I vied my event logs and I see two different errors for the side by side.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI know that you just have to plug an external hard drive in to a computer and it works right away. My problem is, I used my external hard drive so I could tape TV shows on my Bell Express Vu receiver. I disconnected the external drive and want to use it on my computer but for some reason, I can't get it to work. It shows up under Devices and it's called "Desktop". Can't see what's on it or even open it. Normally they will show up under the same area as you other drives but it won't this time.

View 7 Replies View RelatedWhile I was installing an OEM 64-bit version of Windows 7 I got the following pop-up message during the "completing installation" step:
setup.exe - Bad image C:Windowssystem32sppc.dll is either not designed to run on windows or it contains a error. Try installing the program again using the original installation media or contact your system administrator or the software vendor for support.
I hit ok, and it popped up again... and again... etc. So finally I tried to cancel the Install via the standard red x routine. Upon which i received a message saying that installation cannot be cancelled at this point... blah blah"
So being stuck and unable to finish or cancel the installation, I went for the good old turn off the computer method. Then I started fresh reformatting the drive and all. I had to leave the location I was at unfortunately while it was at "extracting files 52%" We'll see what's showing when I arrive in the morning.
Now, the question(s):
What causes this message to appear? And obviously, how do I fix/prevent it?
If it's due to bad media, how do I get a replacement copy? (seeing as it's OEM and thus I am technically responsible for support as I am the system builder)
Finally, the disclaimer:
Yes, I do know the difference between OEM and Retail. Yes, I did legitimately purchase the installation media & key. Yes, I am reselling this system to an end user; it is NOT for personal use. No, I did not run the OPK prior to using this software; I did not see the point as in this particular case I am personally setting up the machine for the client (plugging it in, installing software, registering & activating that software as well as the OS, etc.) Yes, I did look on this forum, as well as others, including window's own, and all over "the Google" to no avail
I have a setup running with 1 physical SATA disk divided in two partitions (C,D). Tomorrow i am receiving an 120GB SSD. I am planning on disconnecting the HDD and plugging the SSD with AHCI enabled in the bios and performing a clean install.I need help for the steps after that, what is going to happen when i plug in the HDD in the 2nd SATA port? Will windows boot from the SSD and see the two partitions as D & E? If this is the case can i merge the 2 partitions after that and not lose any data? The purpose as you can see is to install fresh Win 7 on the SSD and plug in the HDD after that for storage purposes only but want 1 partition to it.
