When I try to install the software, I get an error message. The installation just quits. The contents of this file cannot be unpacked.The e - trnsp.gif Answer An installation error is defined as any issue or error that prevents the Setup program from fully completing the task. Installation errors can manifest themselves in several different ways. One common installation problem is the Setup program is interrupted with a message indicating some type of problem. Another type of installation error is when the Setup program simply disappears or doesn't complete for any reason. When Setup is interrupted with an error
Many installation issues will be accompanied with an error code and then an error message that identifies the problem. Because the camera software uses the Windows Installer, the exact definition of the problem can be obtained by looking up the error code on Microsoft's website. Two common errors are Error 1904 and Error 2711.
When Setup simply disappears or doesn't complete
Note: When installing software, administrative rights are needed to install all the files for camera software. If you are logged in as another user without administrative rights, the software may not install/function correctly.
First try booting clean. If you are using Windows XP, Windows Me, or Windows 98, click here for instructions on booting clean. If you are using Windows 2000, click here for instructions on booting clean. Once you have booted clean, then try to install the camera software.
Since booting Windows clean may disable CD-ROM support, we recommend you download the latest camera software for your camera and use the download file to install after you have booted clean.
All other installation issues
If you are unable to find a solution to the installation issue given the above information, please try the following suggestions. After each suggestion, try running the installation program again.

  1. Reinstall the Windows Installer. This Windows Installer engine can be downloaded from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/release.asp?ReleaseID=17343
  2. Windows 2000 Only. Stop the Windows Installer service and reboot the machine. To do this:
    1. Right-click on My Computer
    2. Choose Manage
    3. Click on the plus (+) sign next to Services and Applications
    4. Click on Services
    5. On the right side on the pane, double-click on Window Installer
    6. Choose STOP
    7. Reboot the computer.
If the service was already stopped, try starting the service, then stopping the service and rebooting.
If following through on the specific instructions above do not resolve the issue, please try the following standard diagnostics:
  1. Try a different installation media. For example, if you are attempting to install the camera software via the CD, download and install the latest web release. If you are trying to install the web release, try the camera software CD. Please note, the latest software can be downloaded here.
  2. Run ScanDisk and Disk Defragmenter. Both of these utilities can be found in the Accessories program group of the Windows Start Menu.
  3. Search for and delete all TMP or CHK files.
    For Windows 98 and Windows Me Users:
    1. Click on "Start", "Find" and choose "Files or Folders".
    2. In the Named field, type *.TMP and click "Find Now"; delete all files found.
    3. Repeat this procedure with *.CHK.
    For Windows 2000 Users:
    1. Click "Start", "Search" and choose "For files or folders".
    2. In the Search field, type *.TMP and click "Search Now"; delete all files found.
    3. Repeat this procedure with *.CHK.
    For Windows XP Users:
    1. Click "Start", "Search".
    2. In the "All or part of the file name" field, type *.TMP and click "Search;" delete all files found.
    3. Repeat this procedure with *.CHK.
  4. Empty the TEMP directory; this folder may contain files that are interfering with the installation. To do this, use the following steps:
    1. Right-click on My Computer and choose Explore.
    2. Click on the plus (+) sign next to the C drive.
    3. Click on the plus (+) sign next to the Windows directory. (For Windows 2000, it is the WINNT directory.)
    4. Click on the plus (+) sign next to the Temp directory. The right side of Explorer will display the contents. Select all the files listed in the Temp folder and delete them.
  5. Reboot the system and try installing the software again.

How to fix and repair a not valid win32 application?

Often this error message will be similar to the below error message.

C:\Program Files\myprogram\program.exe is not a valid Win32 application.
Cause

This issue can be caused by any of the below possibilities.
File is corrupt, bad, or missing.
File is not designed for your version of Windows.
File is a virus, worm, or other malware file.
Hardware incompatibility.

Answer

File is corrupt, bad, or missing

If the file or program you're attempting to run is corrupt or missing, Windows will be unable to execute the file properly and sometimes generate this error message.

Download files

If you downloaded this file and verified it is complete and compatible with your version of Windows, delete the file and try downloading and running it again. It's possible during the download that the file became corrupted.

Finally, if the second download does not work, try downloading the file from a different webpage. It is possible that the person or company maintaining the website mistakenly uploaded a corrupt version of the file you're attempting download.

Installing a program from a CD or other disk

If you're attempting to install a program and are getting this error, verify that the CD is clean. If the CD is dirty or bad, you could get this error during the install or after the program has been installed because it was not copied properly onto the computer.

Running a program from the computer

If you're running the program from a shortcut on the computer, verify that the program is still on the computer. In some cases if the program is no longer installed on the computer you may get this error.

If the hard disk drive is corrupted or bad it can also cause working programs to fail either because not all the data can be read from the hard disk drive or because the program has become corrupted while on the drive. Run scandisk and defrag on the hard disk drive to check for any potential errors.

Long file name issue

Make sure the program or file you're attempting to run does not contain the same name as the long file name directory it is contained in. For example, executing a file named "program" in the "program files" directory can cause errors in some versions of Windows.

Additionally, if you're attempting to install a program and after the install the program does not work, you may also want to try installing the program in a different directory.

Bad file

Any file can be changed or renamed to be a .exe file. If you're downloading the file, make sure the file is supposed to be a .exe file and that it's not being changed. If you're attempting to create a .exe, file make sure you're compiling the file for Windows and never just rename a file to a .exe file. For example, renaming a .bat file to a .exe file will not make the file an executable file. For a file to become an executable file it needs to either be compiled or converted through a software program designed to convert the file.

File is not designed for your version of Windows

If you're trying to run a program that is not designed for your version of Windows you may get this error. Although many older programs designed to work in older versions of Windows will work with new versions of Windows, unfortunately, not all programs will work.
If the program is an older MS-DOS program or early Windows program you may get this error.
If the program is designed for a 64-bit version of Windows and you're running it in a 32-bit version of Windows, it will not work and generate this error.

Getting old MS-DOS games to run in Windows.

File is a virus, worm, or other malware file

This error can be generated by a file that is a virus, worm, Trojan, or other malware file. Often, this will be caused because the virus scanner installed in the computer will not allow the file to be installed or run. Try scanning the file to verify it is not a virus or infected.

If the file has been checked and is clean, it is still possible that the virus protection program or another program installed on the computer is causing issues during the install or execution of the program. Boot the computer into Safe Mode and try running the program; booting the computer into Safe Mode will make sure nothing is running in the background that could be causing this issue.

Hardware incompatibility

If you're getting this error during the installation of a program it's also possible that the CD-ROM drive or the drive you're installing the program from is not compatible with Windows or has drivers that are not compatible with Windows.

Download the latest drivers for your CD drive or other drive through our drivers page.

Just signed up for free tral through aol and Im unable to down load softwear program.it indicates "the contents of this file cannot be unpacked".i spoke with an aol rep.and they directed me to this site...

The contents of this file cannot be unpacked. This means that the executable you are attempting to run has been corrupted.
  1. Obtain another copy of the file, verify its integrity, and try again.
  2. Another option is to request a CD from AOL, which is free.
  3. The only other option I can think of is to download the AOL setup from the Alternate AOL Download site here: http://daol.aol.com/software/95-alt/?icid=roadie_95landing
  4. You could also try downloading this file from another computer with a good internet connection.
