What's the precise text of the message that you're getting, please?

Sep 25, 2012 10:02 PM in response to b noirby MDB5515,C:\users\andrew\downloads\iTunesSetup(2).exe. is not a valid Win32 application.
Thats the exact verbiage

Sep 25, 2012 10:04 PM in response to b noirby MDB5515,I am also getting this:
This iTunes installer is intended for 32-bit versions of Windows. Please download and install the 64-bit iTunes installer instead.
Which I get. But clicking on that link you provided does not give you the option of choosing between 32 and 64 bit installers.

Many thanks.
Let's try the following document with that one:
iTunes: Windows reports that "iTunesSetup.exe is not a valid Win32 application"

Yeah, that was certainly a 32-bit installer file being referred to in the other message, too. (The 64-bit installer file is called iTunes64Setup.exe.)
Just in case it's an issue with your normal browser not working properly with the system-detection equipment on the page (there's a javascript control that checks for operating system specifics, and is supposed to deliver the correct Mac or Windows installers), let's try a different web browser for the download. If you use Firefox instead of IE (or vice versa), do you get offered an iTunes64Setup.exe instead of an iTunesSetup.exe?

Sep 25, 2012 10:14 PM in response to b noirby MDB5515,Well, I think I may have figured it out by simply trying to download the new version from a different web brower. Its downloading currently but says "iTunes64setup.exe" so hopefully this will work!
