Installing OU:R Windows 7.

Anytime I attempt to run the client on my new rig, "UO_Renaissance_Client_Full.exe is not a valid Win32 application."

I'm running Windows 7 64bit, are there any suggestions or tips that might allow me to install this client properly?

Runs perfectly fine on my Win7 x64 machine.

The message sounds alot like a corrupted file. My best guess is to re-download the file !

I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium, 64 bit and I'm unable to install. Same message.

"UO_Renaissance_Client_Full.exe is not a valid Win32 application."

I've tried running in every compatibility mode available, even Win98/Me and Win95, no dice. Run as administrator. I tried the archived installers, same issue.

Help! I want to play!

Py?

You have an incomplete or corrupted download. Delete the file entirely and re-download it.

That would be me

Would I know thee by another name?

I tried a few times, have the issue with the old client and the latest one. The patch installer works, but I need the client first.

Are you by chance running any anti-virus software?

If so, which?

I've heard reports of some AV software having issues with the installer on irc.

I'm running Avira, I tried disabling it, but I still get the error.

I have an old Windows XP machine that it did install on, but I'll have to run some Ethernet cable this weekend (or maybe buy a wireless adapter) My new home office currently has only wireless, my teenage son has taken over the basement where my old office was...

Soon to be in Sosaria once again...

Did you redownload the file after Avira was disabled? The package on the site is definitely a valid package -- especially if it installs on your XP machine. It really seems like some application on your Win7 box is blocking installation.

Feel free to get on IRC sometime when you have a bit of free time and shooting me a message, I'm glad to help you out in a more interactive medium than a forum post as well.

That was it

My Avira real-time protection was corrupting the download. I disabled it, downloaded, and it installed.

Thanks for the solid advice, cheers!
