psexec %1 is not a valid Win32 application
The error message "psexec %1 is not a valid Win32 application" usually occurs when attempting to run psexec
with an incorrect or unsupported command-line parameter.
The %1
placeholder in the command is used as a placeholder for the first command-line parameter passed to the batch file or script. If you are trying to pass an argument to the psexec
command using %1
, it is possible that %1
is not getting replaced with the actual value, leading to the error.
To resolve this issue, ensure that you are executing the psexec
command with the correct syntax. If you are using %1
as a placeholder for an argument, make sure that you are passing the argument correctly when invoking the batch file or script.
For example, if you have a batch file named my_script.bat
that contains the psexec
command with %1
, you should call the batch file with an argument like this:
batchmy_script.bat argument_value
In this case, %1
in my_script.bat
will be replaced with the value argument_value
.
If you are still encountering the error, double-check the following:
Ensure that
psexec.exe
is located in a directory that is included in the system's PATH environment variable. Ifpsexec.exe
is not in a directory listed in the PATH, you may need to provide the full path topsexec.exe
when executing it.Verify that
psexec.exe
is the correct version for your system architecture (32-bit or 64-bit). If you are running a 64-bit version of Windows, ensure that you are using the 64-bit version ofpsexec.exe
.Check for any typos or syntax errors in the
psexec
command.Make sure that you have the necessary permissions to run
psexec
and access the target system.
If you are using psexec
to run a specific application or script on a remote system, ensure that the application or script being executed is also compatible with the target system's architecture (32-bit or 64-bit) and that any required dependencies are present on the target system.
