Win32 install error "for a machine type other than current machine John Dyer 5/8/2007 4:13:02 PM Installing NetPhone PBX client 2.4.1, a Win32 application in XP Pro X64 I get this error on launching Setup.exe ... "The image file <C:\blah blah blah\setup.exe is valid, but is for a machine type other than the current machine." Setting the app compatibility mode didn't help ... This is not good news ... Our robust CTI PBX, though the company is long defunct, is far from finuto ... Suggestions?

Re: Win32 install error "for a machine type other than current machine "Charlie Russel - MVP" <charlie[ at ]mvKILLALLSPAMMERSps.org> 5/9/2007 6:48:24 AM This error means that the program is a 16 bit program. In your case, probably the installer is 16 bit. You don't have a whole lot of options except to install the application on a 32 bit system and then replicate the installation steps into the 64 bit registry. There are a few programs out there that can help with that. Or leave it running on a 32-bit version of Windows. This isn't that uncommon with older 32 bit programs. The early installation programs were actually 16 bit, and a lot of them never got converted. -- Charlie. http://msmvps.com/blogs/xperts64 "John Dyer" <John Dyer[ at ]discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:CC2D879B-5887-48B6-8D7C-A2771382A237[ at ]microsoft.com...

Re: Win32 install error "for a machine type other than current mac John Dyer 5/10/2007 3:21:01 AM Thanks Charlie ... The program specs say it's a 32 bit program ... but I suppose the authors might have kludged it with a 16 bit installer ... Could you point me at a program that might help with replicating the installation steps? "Charlie Russel - MVP" wrote: [Quoted Text] > This error means that the program is a 16 bit program.

Re: Win32 install error "for a machine type other than current mac "Charlie Russel - MVP" <charlie[ at ]mvKILLALLSPAMMERSps.org> 5/10/2007 3:33:41 PM Off the top of my head, I don't know of one. But there have been mention here occasionally, so hopefully someone will jump in with it. Another workaround I've used with some success is to run an older 32-bit version of Windows in a VM on the 64-bit machine. Depending on what you need from the 32-bit app, that can be quite a reasonable solution. Virtual PC or Virtual Server will work fine if you don't need USB support. If you do, look at VMWare. -- Charlie. http://msmvps.com/xperts64 http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/profile/charlie.russel "John Dyer" <JohnDyer[ at ]discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:A7A2703D-7D96-443F-8D28-67168D56FCFB[ at ]microsoft.com...

Re: Win32 install error "for a machine type other than current mac "John Barnes" <jbarnes[ at ]email.net> 5/10/2007 6:04:23 PM Some of the older programs have a separate install/uninstall program in the installation folder. I have has success replacing the 16bit installer with the 32bit installer.
