    I'm getting the same error for multiple installations. Seemingly random machines at this time. Please see my logs below.

    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.

    Hello PAKWL,

    Do you have any folders on your C: drive named "Program" (C:\Program) ? If so, can you try renaming them and see if that allows the installation to go thru ?

    Here's an interesting link about it (this is for informational purposes, I am not recommending that you modify your computer as per this external link).

    Do not have anything in C that is named c:\Program... but installation still fails. Is there a specific 32 bit installer?

  • +2 in reply to PAKWL

    Hello PAKWL,

    The installer will install the correct version after you download it from Central. (There is no 32 bit VS. 64 bit installer). 
    One more thing to check: are there any files in the root drive (C) called program? (If so, same thing, please rename and re-try the installation). 

    If the problems persist, I would recommend to file a case with support.
