Re: not a valid win32 aplication Update



It appears you are infected with a virus. See if the following info provides
a solution;

The continuing saga...I have run every anti-virus and every anti-malware I
can find in both regular and safe mode. I have also tried to downloand and
install Stinger on 5 different computers (friends helped) and none of them
can install the current version of stinger. We all get "Stinger is not a
valid win32 application". Some of these computers have talked to each other
and could possibly have been infected with a virus, but some have had not
contact with mine or each other.

I realize this is a rather long description of my problem, but I am ready to
tear my hair out. I can not find a virus, malware of any kind nor a fix for
the problem.

If anyone can steer me toward a place to find a solution, I would be
eternally grateful.

Beginning to go back to my original supposition that it is not a virus but
rather a corrupt file somewhere ..possibly in updates for Dot Net....In
Event Viewer, I have found the following error repeatedly.

EventType: Error
Event Source: MsiInstaller
Event Category: None
Event ID: 1008
Date: 11/8/2007
Time: 7:59:53 PM
User: THEWIZ\The Wiz
Computer: THEWIZ
Description:
The installation of C:\Program Files\Common Files\Wise Installation
Wizard\WISCDDCBBF1270346BC938BBCC81A1EEAAA_3_9_0_1008.MSI is not permitted
due to an error in software restriction policy processing. The object cannot
be trusted.

For more information, see Help and Support Center at

Any attempt to go to this url only tells me that the file is not found. So I
searched the KB for information on this error and found article 925336 Oct.
11, 2007.

I am also repeatedly getting Com+ error id 4689..

Event Type: Error
Event Source: COM+
Event Category: Unknown
Event ID: 4689
Date: 11/8/2007
Time: 7:43:42 PM
User: N/A
Computer: THEWIZ
Description:
The run-time environment has detected an inconsistency in its internal
state. This indicates a potential instability in the process that could be
caused by the custom components running in the COM+ application, the
components they make use of, or other factors. Error in
d:\qxp_slp\com\com1x\src\comsvcs\package\cpackage.cpp(1184), hr = 8007043c:
InitEventCollector failed

For more information, see Help and Support Center at
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp. Again the above url is not
available, but a search of the KB turned up article 916254 Dec. 8, 2006.

I have also received Event ID 1023 source .net runtime frequently over the
past month, as well as event category (6) event ID 102. Error category (100)
event id 1000 also shows up regularly. KB article 290647 seems to speak to
this error.

street, screaming all the way)
