"Is Not a Valid Win32 Application" when installing - WHAT'S HAPPENING? HELP!
mouser:
cmpm, i will ask them next time if they are using any downloaders.. that might be a possible explanation also.
i guess i was hoping it was some misconfiguration on our server which could be corrected.
nosh:
Check this out.
This guy's Apache log shows the full file going through, the fault lies completely with IE.
The consolation prize is that you can use these opportunities to move these people towards better browsers.
mouser:
nosh, that's a great find -- that's definitely the problem and it's nice to read someone's attempt at diagnosing it.
bad news is.. he never found a solution. :tellme:

i wonder if one possible solution is to add some extra ?cruft to the download url to prevent ie from cacheing it?
cmpm:
you would either have to tell them to disable caching or it be done auto matically with the download when hitting setup
which is out of my realm of know how
here's some ms stuff about disabling it
