not a valid win32 app
 

Can someone help
When I copy cd games they work ok on my machine but when I try to install them on any other machine as soon as I click on the install file it comes up "not a valid win32 application" Also if I browse the disc on other machines all the files are there but when you open them there doesn't appear to be anything in them. I am absolutely stumped. Any good brains out there.

I had this once. Did you burn from a bin & cue file?

What I did was to extract the files from the bin file and then do a data CD burn using nero. You can extract files from the bin using WinISO.
Worked great after that.
Hope this helps.

would ur other machine happen to be a winxp or 2000 machine? as opposed to the 9x or ME machine that they work fine on? 10 to 1 thats the case :)

It was a straight copy of a game and I have tried to install it on two machines, one with Windows ME and one with Windows 98
