  • It looks like the thin installer pulled down the files of the stage 2 installer, tried to run it and got error 193.

    https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/desktop/debug/system-error-codes--0-499-

    ERROR_BAD_EXE_FORMAT

    193 (0xC1)

    %1 is not a valid Win32 application.

    So a little odd, it's a 32-bit process presumably on a 64-bit computer?

    The only thing I can recommend is run the installer while running Process Monitor and see if you can see anything odd there.

    Regards,
    Jak

  • I'm sorry, it is a 32-bit system. I thought there was only one install for both? I'm looking in Sophos Central and cannot find a 32-bit installer.
