Problem: The version of this file is not compatible
with the version of windows you’re running. Check your computer system information
to see whether you need an x86 (32-bit) or x64 (64-bit) versions of the program
and then contact the software publisher.
Background: I was trying to install windows 2012
on my Notebook the Dell Latitude Series E6230.
However realized I came with the 32-bit Windows 7 operating system. As any normal IT Pro first I
tried to run the setup.exe and then got the above error. Sooner or later I realized that 32 bit version O.S doesn't support 64 bit versions application. I was not
having any DVD or CD drive where I can burn ISO of Windows 2012.
Resolution: I tried a new method; by converting
my USB flash drive to bootable flash drive using Windows
7 USB DVD Download Tool downloaded from
MS store for free.
You just
need to run the set-up.exe and rest the tool do everything for you.
Go to
BIOS by pressing F10 or F12 and boot your PC from the Flash/Thumb Drive your
set-up will automatically launch.
