1st-This is NOT about Firefox except it is the main browser I use. I am unable to INSTALL Itunes 9.2, I get the error msg, "Not Valid Win32 application. Have tried all the apple, and IE, and MS fixes. It happens ever time I try to install it. At first I couldn't download, got that worked out, now cannot install.

This happened

Not sure how often

== Whenever that version Itunes first came out

Hello Ken.

You're right, this is not about Firefox and this is not the best place to look for help. That said, if your computer tells you it's not a valid win32 application, it's probably because it's not a valid win32 application. Make sure you're downloading a software that supports your operating system.

It is possible that your anti-virus software is corrupting the downloaded files or otherwise interfering with downloading files by Firefox. You can try to disable the real-time (live) scanning of files in your anti-virus software temporarily to see if that makes downloading work. Do not forget to re-enable the scanning in your anti-virus software after you are finished with downloading and installing. ..........
