Пожалуй, не стоит говорить, что многие Modern PC users based on Windows OSes often encounter problems when a message appears on the screen when installing or running a program file that a particular application is not a Win32 application. What to do? First of all, take it calmly. Nothing wrong with that.
To begin with we will explain the essence of the problem.The reasons for the occurrence of such a message can be quite a lot. Suppose that we have an error message related to the fact that the application is not a Win32 application. Windows 7, although it is a 64-bit system, still supports launching applications designed for a 32-bit architecture.
Another thing is that this application, driver or fileprograms may simply not correspond to such an architecture due to damage or even the creation of a file initially in another OS. And this is not the only option when the system may display a message stating that the application is not a Win32 application. How to fix this situation, we now consider.
First you need to look at the file type.Indeed, it is often possible to come across situations where, say, the same archive has the .dmg or .tar extension, designed for use exclusively in Mac OS X "operating systems".
It is clear that not a single archiver, be he at leastthe strongest, in the Windows environment, such an archive will not open. Naturally, the system immediately gives a message that the application is not a Win32 application. What to do in this case? The easiest way is to download or search the World Wide Web for an archive file recognized by Windows. Note that no converter converters will help here. Those simply do not exist.
By the way, in many cases the samethe situation is also observed when working with disk images created in Linux or Mac OS X. As is already clear, specific file types do not belong to the standard registered data with which Windows can work. Roughly speaking, the system simply does not know what exactly it is to open files of this type. Even if you enter the registration data in the registry key responsible for the initialization of extensions, the user will not achieve anything concrete. Yes, the extension will be registered, but the system cannot find the way to open the file.
Quite often the problem is due to the fact thata PC user is trying to install a driver or program of a 64-bit version into a 32-bit system. In fact, even the compatibility of the NTFS file system (NTFS5) or ReFS for FAT32 disks and partitions when installing a newer or higher version is simply not provided.
On the contrary - please, no problem.Programs designed to work in FAT32 file systems easily work in NTFS. The only thing worth paying attention to is the moment when the message that the application is not a Win32 application appears. How to fix this situation, even if the file system is the same, for example, NTFS in Windows 7 and Windows XP, is Vista? The fact is that 64-bit versions of programs for 64-bit “sevens” are not perceived by earlier versions such as XP or Vista. There will have to look for a 32-bit version for NTFS file systems.
In some cases, phenomena of this kind can also be observed in standard situations involving damage to the installation distribution or to the unpacked archive.
For example, when opening an archive created byUsing the 64-bit version of WinRAR 5 in the archiver version below this one, you can easily get an error and a message stating that the application is not a Win32 application. What to do in this case? Yes, everything is simple. You just need to find the corresponding file, packed using the same archiver, but a 32-bit version.
But this, all, as they say, flowers.Quite often, there are also unpleasant situations when the user is firmly convinced that the program or driver file is not damaged or underloaded, and the system still gives a message that the application is not a Win32 application. What to do in such a situation is easy to understand by the example of entering specialized data into the system registry. To do this, download the file Win32.reg and run it once. After that, the problem should disappear.
Sometimes this technique does not work. It is very likely that the problem with the error is related to updating the Microsoft .NET Framework.
If installed on a computer terminal,say, version 2.0, it is highly recommended to update it either automatically or manually. To do this, you can use the same “Windows Update” or download the distribution kit on the official Microsoft update support site.
The same applies to platforms such as JAVA or Microsoft Visual C ++ Distributable Package (x86 or x64). The update is made on a similar principle.
