Kyshakk Koan Yma Posted August 15, 2002 Share Posted August 15, 2002 OK, I've got the demo of Geneforge for Windows on a CD, I downloaded it from Spiderweb. I took the CD to my computer (which is Windows 95) and tried to download it, but my computer didn't like it. My dad says that it thinks it's a DOS program or something. It just won't download the game, bringing up this message, "GeneforgeDemo.exe is not a valid Win32 application." So, what do I do? What's wrong?

Unflappable Drayk Lady J Posted August 16, 2002 Share Posted August 16, 2002 Hmmm...I didn't have any problem downloading the Genoforge demo to the '95 on campus. Are you sure you copied all the accessory files as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyshakk Koan Yma Posted August 16, 2002 Author Share Posted August 16, 2002 What accsessory files? When it was downloaded, we only got one file, (as in icon.) Do you have to download the accessories at a different location? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fledgling Fyora Bahwx Posted August 18, 2002 Share Posted August 18, 2002 "GeneforgeDemo.exe is not a valid Win32 Application." - this makes me 100% sure you've yet to download it again. Download corruption is quite possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fledgling Fyora Scorchio Posted July 8, 2003 Share Posted July 8, 2003 I recently had a problem with files I tried to use from a cd I burned. For some reason files get changed to 'read only'. If you right click each file and check properties you should be able to unclick the 'read only' option. Scorchio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrulous Glaahk Terl Posted July 8, 2003 Share Posted July 8, 2003 I would do the following: 1) Download the file again, making sure you have the windows version. 2) After you burn in to cd, just take it to your pc like you did. I use the same method as you because my game pc is not on the internet. 3) If it still won't work, copy the file from the cd and paste it to a temp folder on your c drive. Then try again. I've had to do that with other files before. More than likely you just got a corrupted file in the download. It happens. Oh, it is NOT a DOS game, so don't worry about that end.
