I am trying to install some software and am getting the following message:

The image file e:\Install\SETUP.EXE is valid, but is for a machine type
other than the current machine.

Can anybody help?

Hello,
You are trying to run a 64-bit program inside of the 32-bit operating
system. You cannot do that.
You need to create a cd and boot from that cd to install 64-bit Windows.
Thanks,
