Not a valid Win32 Application

[CarolinaCrawdad]

Don't know what I'm doing wrong, but all I get is "not a valid Win32 application" when I try to run the updates. Does it on every one of them. I have NetFrame 2.0 installed. Can anybody help me out here?

What version of WUD are you running? What UL are you using?

I'm running 2.23 Beta Build 842. Your program is working fine. It's the files that I download from MS that give me the error. Everyone I tried comes back with the same error. Have tried this on two different machines, got the same error. NONE of the updates installed.

Thanks man.... Great program, if I could just get the downloads to run.

The UL's I have used are

windows-xp-x64-enu

windows-xp-x86-enu

office-2003-x86-enu

So far, nothing that has been downloaded has worked...

Thanks...

Hold the phone Chief! I just got some results. I downloaded the updated WUD program and the latest Updated File List. I Downloaded NetFrame 2.0 and its 2 security patches. ALL THREE WORKED GREAT! I might be on a roll. Won't know 'til tomorrow when I can download more. This dial-up connection is killing me! I'll keep you posted.... Was it the File List?

With the sheer amount of people who have downloaded WUD and no one else has ever reported this problem, I can only grasp that this must be caused by an exterior issue.

Are you behind a router?

Actually I'm behind two routers, the first is a wired router with my dial_up modem attached directly to it, the second is a wirless router attached directly to the first for my wireless internet connections. I was on one of the wireless machines today when I downloaded the Updates that worked.

Curious, what difference would a router make?

Thanks man,

Some routers have been known to cause packet swapping leading to data corruption. Basically, if enough small packets are sent in a small enough amount of time some of them can end up becoming out of order, leading to the final product being corrupt.

This is usually seen with P2P, Torrents or FTP. It could happen with WUD since WUD uses fairly small data packets.

Thanks Friend,

Keep in mind that I am on a dial-up connection. Can't image anything happening in a time frame that is very small... lol. I'm gonna download some more today on a T1 connection I have at the office. We'll see if those files are useable. That connection is also behind a router. We'll see what happens. I'll keep you posted... Thanks for the help.

Perhaps the age of the router could have to do with it... ? I don't see a dial-up router being that young... ?
