Can't install errors out with installer and self contained

[confused999]

Getting "The NTVDM CPU has encountered an illegal instruction. ..." both when install via the Installer or the self contained app into WinXP Pro.

What is it you're trying to install?

Might try this, Error message when you install or start an MS-DOS or 16-bit Windows-based program.

Or, NTVDM CPU has encountered an illegal instruction.

I downloaded nLite-1.3.5.installer.exe. I click on the exe and it throws the error mentioned in my first post. I have attached a screenshot. The computer is scanned weekly by NOD32 and SpyBot.

It probably is corrupted. Please redownload and try again.

When a file is corrupted, Windows XP may think that it's a DOS app and because it isn't, it fails!

If the file isn't at least 2 MB, declare a download failure!

No need to guess if it is corrupted or not:

v1.3.5 Final | Installer | 2.04 MB___ MD5 - 1209DDA649F5CE0F80C09244C8D488E5

The problem was that I was always using FireFox 2.x and right mouse click on the link and say Save As. Clickiing on the link causes a referrer error. Downloaded it via IE ok.

Right-click will not work in either Mozilla or IE, as you say, they're checking the referrer.

Left-click will work in either.

Glad you've got it.
