therube Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 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.

confused999 Posted May 20, 2007 Author Share Posted May 20, 2007 (edited) 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. Edited May 20, 2007 by confused999 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJARRRPCGP Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 (edited) 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!

therube Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 (edited) No need to guess if it is corrupted or not:v1.3.5 Final | Installer | 2.04 MB___ MD5 - 1209DDA649F5CE0F80C09244C8D488E5 Edited May 20, 2007 by therube Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
confused999 Posted May 20, 2007 Author Share Posted May 20, 2007 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
therube Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 (edited) 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. Edited May 20, 2007 by therube Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
