Pb during install

Post #1by immobilis » 12.06.2004, 16:18

Hello,

I receive this error message during the install of "celestia-win32-1.3.1-1.exe". I'm using W2000 server.

Anybody has an idea?

Thanks

I'd suggest downloading the installer again.

The Celestia installer is a 32bit program, not 16bit. It may be that the file was corrupted when it was downloaded, confusing Win2K into thinking it was a 16bit program.

Originally when I first tried to use Celestia, a download manager (gozilla in my case) corrupted the install file. My system gave a similar message to yours "this is not a 32 bit windows application" or words to that effect. Your problem will probably go away if a download manager is what you used, and you download celestia with good old simple "save file as".

thats right. I was using flashget to dowload celestia. But I had to go through mirror sites before.

Thanks
