Can't install 2.1.21-SR2; when I try to run the .exe, windows pops up an error message that the file "is not a valid Win32 application", and won't let me continue.
Running Windows XP Pro Service Pack 3.
I this a problem with this release, maybe, or isn't it meant to run on XP?
Oh, also: I re-downloaded from a different mirror location after the first failure, over-wrote the first download, and got the same result the second time. Both were Safer-Networking Ltd. mirrors.

Please provide parsed links to these mirrors, thank you.

Hello tmdowling,
Please provide parsed links to these mirrors, thank you.
http://www.safer-networking.org/spybot2-own-mirror-1/
and
http://www.safer-networking.org/spybot2-own-mirror-2/
(I just now tried http://www.safer-networking.org/spybot2-own-mirror-3/, and with this one I get error message saying that the setup files are corrupted, and instructing me to obtain a new copy of the program.)

So, I tried the download from http://fastspeedtest.com/spybot/, and that one appears to work -- at least, it's let me get to the setup wizard, which is further than the other three did.
Thanks for looking!
Hello tmdowling,
I will inform the office, thank you for letting us know. :bigthumb:
Best regards.
Hello,
all three of the Safer-Networking Ltd. download mirrors provide the correct working file.
