Windows XP Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Why won't 16-bit programs install on a computer running the 64-bit version of Windows XP?

16-bit programs are not compatible with the 64-bit version, therefore they will not install. However, the 64-bit XP platform is backwards-compatible with 32-bit programs. If you attempt to install a 16-bit program on the 64-bit XP platform, you may receive one of the following error messages: 

  • Install.exe is not a valid win32 application. 
  • Setup.exe is not a valid win32 application.
