.exe is not a valid win32 application
I have 3 computers networked in a peer to peer configuration with a hub. The server is running win xp home. The other two workstations are running win 98. I have a medical software program called ez bis (network version) installed. The 2 work stations can
access the ez bis but when i try to open it on the server i get an error: ezbis\ezbis.exe is not a valid win32 application. Ez bis support says their software is working since the work stations run it fine. They say the problem is with windows. I have trie d uninstalling ez bis and reloading it with no change and i even reformatted the hard drive and did a clean reinstall of win xp home but the error persists. Ez bis says i nedd to upgrade to win xp pro . Any ideas? |

Check the "Run this program in compatibility mode for" box, then select Windows 98 in the pull down box. Hit Apply. Cross your fingers.

.exe is not a valid win32 application
If they say that XP Pro is required, it may be that it
can only communicate over NetBEUI, rather than TCP/IP. What do the software requirements state? I know that out of the box, NetBEUI is not supported on the Home version, but you could probably get it installed with a little effort. Check the web (or another post) for help on this, since I've never done it. Don't know if this helps, but let us know.
