Hey there. don't be mad... don't worry we're here to help.
Let me ask you a question, are you trying to install the .EXE files in your pocket pc or on your desktop using active sync?
If you are using your desktop and getting that error message, chances are it's not a desktop installer. you might want to check the file again..

You must copy the exe files to your device and run them from there.

It is possible the .exe files to be for desktop PC only. The Windows Mobile 5.0 and the ARM familly processors need diferent software.

Im trying to get pocketheroes.sa2k3.v0.041a.zip on my phone. I extracted it then double clicked the exe on my pc. That didn't work so yall say to put it on my phone.

I put the exe on my phone and click it.. it doesn't run.

I do have magic button so I see the icon for the game pop up for a split second.

What do I do?

Just a quick note. Sometimes if a exe file is corrupted it will give the same error message.....not a valid win32 blah blah blah. If you are using P2P programs and such, you will run across stuff like that.

just a note most exe. files are ment to be installed via active sync pairing. your cab. files are ment to be installed directly onto the ppc. exe. files that are ment to be installed on your ppc are usually arcieve files zip or win rar files. installing win rar is a must on a ppc device by used by an avid user
