Setup.exe is Not a Valid Win32 Application:
This message is generated by the Windows operating system when it is unable to properly load the Setup program from the diskette/CD-ROM. This is due to either:
1. The CD-ROM drive is not multispeed or multiformat compatible. This is found mostly in low-end or older ROM drives.
2. The diskette/CD-ROM is damaged or defective.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Clean the disk and try again. Try another CD drive.
If it's the disk send it back and ask for a replacement.

If you have plenty of space on your hard drive, create a temporary folder, and copy the whole install disk there. Run the setup.exe from the location on your hard drive. I've seen stranger things work.
