Hello
I have successfully installed the Vista Beta on my laptop in a vmware
session. However when I try to open setup.exe from DVD to install on my home
test pc I get the message "setup.exe is not a valid win32 application". This
also happens on my other home (live) PC. I have definitely NOT downloaded
the 64 bit version! I can't boot from DVD either, it moans about the
partitition.
Any ideas what is preventing setup.exe running? The icon doesn't display
properly either. I have never had problems intslling apps before on home
PC;s. I know there are other posts about this but I felt mine was slightly
different as I had already managed to install on one machine and had not
downloaded the wrong dvd.
Phil
P.S Loving Vista by the way!!
