Re: "not a valid Win32 application"
I am afraid that Cumulus Mx does not work on Windows XP as is does not have the correct level of .Net installed and never will.
In the FAQ here https://cumulus.hosiene.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=12943 it states

•Cumulus MX on Windows requires .NET 4.5 and hence will not run on the obsolete Windows XP

Re: "not a valid Win32 application"

Re: "not a valid Win32 application"
There is no selection for the WMR968 but the Help Instructions say use the WMR918.
It does not seem to be working
Suggestions?

Re: "not a valid Win32 application"
Can I suggest you open another Topic in the Cumulus 1, Oregon Scientific forum as this will allow Users of this equipment to answer as this is the MX forum.
