Vista - Vista Home Premium x64 appcrash for setup files, exception error c0000096

Hi!

I've just built a new rig, and installed Vista Home Premium 64-bit OS on it. I can install programs from CD's and start already installed .exe's, but setup files i download from the internet won't work.

I get the following error (In Norwegian, but the order is the same as in English I think):

I've tried formatting and installing the OS again, but the problem remains.

Hope someone is able to solve the problem, thanks in advance!


Edit: Silly me forgot to search forums, looks like some guy solved the problem by installing SP1. Going to try that first.

Edit 2: Appearantly I had SP1 already, but I installed a lot of updates anyhow. It didn't help though, so I'm still in need of assistance!

Edit 3: I've solved the problem now (more of a workaround really). I installed Firefox from a memory stick and now all downloaded files work properly. IE must have corrupted them or something

Hi, notsavvy, and welcome to the forums.

Glad you figured it out - although you might want to do some hardcore malware testing to make sure you aren't infected with something that is infecting downloads as they are written to disk....

Might I also recommend Fx 3.1 B2 - it's a lot faster than Fx 3.0.x and most extensions / addons work well, since you have the option to override compatibility if it does not work the first time around....
