Hi-
I get the message "Foldit.exe is not a valid Win32 Application" when trying to install under WinXP (I have it running fine on my Mac).
Suggestions?
Bob
Thank you for your reply:
Yes, I tried downloading again and downloading on another machine and transferring the downloaded file to the WinXP machine. The downloaded file is still the same size (about 9 kb, which seems very small; the Mac version is 48 mb).
Can someone verify the correct size (and/or checksum)?
Thanks,
Bob
Hey Bob. That file size (9 KB) definitely doesn't sound right. The 32-bit Windows installer for Foldit that I downloaded over a month ago, is 24.3 MB.
You might want to try downloading the installer using another web browser, or a download manager. Failing that, it could be a problem with your computer's firewall or Internet settings.

Try direct link:

and use some download manager (ie FDM).
Have you tried re-downloading the installer, and running it again? It's possible that it may have not downloaded correctly, causing corruption.
