Error 193: %1 is not a valid Win32 application

Post by olga_fil. »

Good evening,

I'm kindly asking for your help on an issue that I face as I have installed GAMS v.24.8.5 in a Windows XP 32 bit machine.

When I press "Run GAMS" on my model, I get the following message:
"Error: Unable to start process
Error 193: %1 is not a valid Win32 application"
while this is not happening on a Windows 10 computer.

While searching on Google, I found this solution provided by Microsoft (as other programs appear to have this problem) :https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/hel ... essage-whe

but ir requires to make some changes on Windows Registry and especially on HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\.

Could you please inform me about the name of the relevant with GAMS services on Windows Registry in order not to make a mistake while making changes or alternatively on how to resolve the issue if you know another way?

Thank you very much in advance!

Support for XP has been dropped some time ago: https://www.gams.com/24.9/docs/RN_245.h ... _PLATFORMS
