As you probably know by now, Exchange 2007 is distributed in 2 versions – 64-bit and 32-bit. Only the 64-bit version is supported by Microsoft, and the 32-bit version is only provided for evaluation purposes. Microsoft requires that you run the production versions of Exchange 2007 only on 64-bit platforms (read Is my Server Exchange 2007 Ready?). However, in many cases, although the actual deployment of Exchange 2007 is done on 64-bit machines, your daily management of these servers is still performed on “regular” 32-bit machines, and not on the servers themselves.
So, one might find himself trying to install the Exchange 2007 Management Tools on a 32-bit operating system such as Windows XP SP2 or Windows Server 2003 machine, only to find that when trying to install them they get an error message:
“The image file D:\Setup.EXE is valid, but is for a machine type other than the current machine.”
The reason for this error is because the Exchange 2007 setup require Windows Server 2003 64-bit Edition to initiated.
The solution to this problem is to install the 32-bit version of the Exchange 2007 Management Tools instead.
