terran(x) is not a valid win32...

[iralastorum]

as the title states, I keep getting the error message "Terran(x) is not a valid win32 application"

I've installed the windows2000/xp patch. I've tried using the compatibility thingie. None of it works. Now I used another copy of only alpha centauri (without the expansion) and it worked fine.

Please help!! I am desperate to play SMACX

Not sure if this is of any value but have you tried:
Re-installing
Putinng "ForceOldVoxelAlgorithm=1" in the proper place?

 

[iralastorum]

Yes, I tried both already. But I keep getting the same error message when trying to run any of the terran.exe. "Terran(x).exe is not valid win32 application".

Meh. Sorry but I cant think of anything, Maybe the Faq over at Apolyton could help you out

That would be Apolyton.net, btw.

Googling for the message

"is not a valid win32 application"

turns up lots of hits. These two links have several suggestions for fixing the problem:

If those don't help, try other sites found via Google.

Thanks, none of the above two sites helped but after googling some more I found a solution that stated I should copy the terran(x).exe from the CD into the installed directory. It worked. Obviously my .exe files were corrupted as they were only 250kb.
