that’s weird.. you said you have a 64bit OS but the error message looks for a valid 32bit app? hmmn.. is it possible to install a 32bit mse in a 64bit OS, then running it under compatibility options?

for me, i’ll download the latest mse 64bit installer, uninstall the one presently installed, then install the one that’s just downloaded earlier..

then:
