.EXE is not a valid Win32 Application 6

[CDIV]

Dear all, could you support me please

I'm facing an horrible issue

When I try launch any application I got this message . exe is not a valid Win32 Application.

Thank you in advance

I get this whenever an EXE depends upon a DLL that is not registered with Windows. Have all the EXE's dependencies been registered?

Are you trying to run a 64-bit program on a 32-bit system? Try using

Could be bad memory. I would test the memory.

The file could have been corrupted.

It's not a file that causes the error to be thrown - it's any application that the OP tries to open.

Are you able to go back to a prior point in time via System Restore?

Have you tried scanning system files with sfc /scannow?
Here's a reference if you need it:

If you run a bootable CD instead of Windows, do you have problems? If not, that might help eliminate memory issues.

It sounds like, for whatever reason (possibly malware), the association for 32-bit executables may be damaged/corrupt.

Try using FixExec from bleepingcomputer.com to reset the association back to Windows' default(s).

Hope this helps...

Although I'd normally just consider it time to reinstall the system if it's feasible, that sounds like a good tool to keep handy. Thanks for the mention and link, Rick998.

Hey everybody,
I reinstalled the entire OS . Everything is working now.
So I lost all programmes which stored in other partitions (all exe files) they are all 0 kB.
Thank you for your great support.

Regards

0kb? Don't forget the anti-malware and system backup software this time.
