Default Not a valid win 32 application

I burned the Win Vista Beta 2 ISO file that I downloaded from the MS site
and when I try to install I get this error - "E:\ setup.exe is not a valid
win32 application." What gives? What can I do? Do I need to format drive and
start over. I'm chomping at the bit! Thanks a lot.

Sounds like you downloaded the 64 bit version. It cannot be run from
Windows. You have to boot the DVD.

Makes perfect sense when you know the answer. Thanks. It is installing.
