Not a Valid Win32 Application

Huh???

Published on January 30, 2007 By Damilee In Stardock Support General

I've been trying to get my DesktopX 3 Application installed back onto my system along with Stardock Central and I get an error message "not a calid Win32 application" what could be the cause of this and how do I fix it.

Okay...

you got SDC installed but SDC will not let you register DTX client?
did you ever have DTX client registered via SDC? (I have ODNT so am unsure on how the standalones work)
you're opening SDC, tools, register, finding DTX in the drop down, selecting it and then pasting the serial in?
when you entered your email at the support page did you also get a link to download from?

Yes to all of the above, except I have never been able to register DTX on SDC.

Yes to all of the above,

then you will probably need to download DTX client from the download link provided

it is the client version, yes?

not the standard (with builder mode) or above?

Yes, I went to the library the other day and downloaded it from the link which came in the email. So I have the program, I just can't register it or update it. I guess I have to re-download it every time they update it.

I could not register it with Stardock Central because it is DesktopX 3.0 Run-Time Client.

I know this is off the subject, Sir Bichur, but what is the pronunciation of your name? Also, do you have SmileyCentral? Is that where you get those cute animations?

Never mind I got it!

I'm still waiting on that pronunciation, though.

depends on my mood and/or the opinion of others

beye-chur
bich-ur

normal is actually \Bi*chir"\, n. [Native name.] (Zool.) since the actual spelling is bichir

bichur is the common mispelling

Okay! That clears that up!!!

On the DesktopX thing I'm just going to let it go...it's just annoying to keep getting notified of updates on StardockCentral and not be able to access them. Otherwise the program itself works just fine for my needs. I don't see myself getting into creating widgets or themes anytime soon. I do enjoy the ones that others so thoughtfully provide.

Also, do you have SmileyCentral?

SmileyXtra for Firefox

I have DTX standard = I can't create (except for small desktops for my daughter) but having the builder mode means I can edit themes to suit

you know, i think that is how it's done with the stand alone downloads - hence the 'enter your email and get a link' at the support page

I seem to recall some WB people saying the same about how they update = enter email get a new link
