1173458 2011-01-29 01:25:00 Hi Folks. Running Windows7 32.
Having downloaded Skype from their site, trying to install I get....
skype.exe is not a valid Win 32 application.

Any answers before I give it the heave-ho.

did you accidentally download the 64bit version?

1173460 2011-01-29 03:14:00 Thanks Plod. The download appears to offer no choice. As far as I can see, does not mention 32/64. Scouse (83)
1173461 2011-01-29 03:56:00 You didnt either download it properly, or something like Nvidia firewall maybe installed. Uninstall it if its installed. Dont think there is a 64 bit version of Skype. Only 32 bit Speedy Gonzales (78)
1173462 2011-01-29 06:13:00 Could be a corrupt download. Try it again. mikebartnz (21)
1173463 2011-01-29 06:35:00 Where did you download it to? Local disc c:/ or Downloads?

1173464 2011-01-29 08:15:00 Hi Folks. Thanks for the interest. Downloaded @ seven times, with and without defences raised - same result. Found a site which recommended downloading with Firefox. Installed Firefox for the occasion - same result. Scouse (83)
1173465 2011-01-29 08:20:00 Did you get it from here (www.skype.com). Dont think it matters what browser you use. Sounds like something, on your computer is stuffing your downloads up. Are other downloads fine? Speedy Gonzales (78)
1173466 2011-01-29 18:59:00 Everyone on here would aggree that I would be the d u m b e s t a / h o l e, but have managed to download both Skype and Logitech onto a XP 32 and W7 64 maqchine and no probs.

S t u f f, just noticed b-in-law as a new listing on Skype!
