Stellarium

not a valid Win32 application

Asked by Wayne Daniel

I have been running stelarium.exe from a February 2013 download.
I received an email suggesting that I upgrade.
Downloaded the file (twice), when attempting to run it (twice), received this message:

From which website you download Stellarium? What size of Stellarium's installer you have?

Another question is "how do you download it" - if you use "save target as" on the stellarium.org download links instead of clicking them, you won't get a valid executable file, because they point to the SourceForget download page, not the files themselves.

Can you help with this problem?
