TROUBLE WITH INSTALLATION OF DOSBOX
 
Hello,
I've been in SourceForge (http://sourceforge.net/projects/dosbox/) downloading DOSBox for my Windows platform. An error message stating that
DOSBox0.74-win32-installer(1).exe isn't a valid Win32 application keeps repeating. Is there any solution for this?
Thanks.

Upload the file you downloaded and post a link to it. I need to see what did you actually get from there.

I can't open the file in the first place.

Your machine has to download the file before it can run it.
Either you're trying to run the file from the net or your browser is set to run all executable files you click links to (incidentally, that's a gaping security hole).

Your system has downloaded something. The question is what that something is, and I don't have a crystal ball here.

Nobody is telling you to open the problematic file, just download it to your system and pass me a copy so that I can figure out what is going on.

Incidentally, have you tried to download it with another browser?

I would try re-downloading first

Windows 10
 
I have Dosbox ( DOSBox0.74-win32-installer(1).exe ) on my Vista O/S. It works fine.
However, will this work on Windows 10 ?

Is the windows 10 machine also win 32?

I have several different DOSBox assemblies, and all of them works on my Win10 x64. I bet, x32 will be fine too. :)

Great. I hope....

Do you have the x32 version of DOSBox ?

Thanks.
