CMD....> Program.exe RESULT: "ERROR: %1 is not a valid Win32 application."

[Sithnei]

Hello everybody.


I was going to format my desktop but I think to get a help Microsoft before.


Some programs don't are executed by CMD and it bring fails in many operations of windows (Win.Update/BKP/RECOVER /basic tasks/scripts and others...). These operations fails not shows the message but I know that it's the problem because Windows need to use CMD to conclude several operations in background.


The message "ERROR: %1 is not a valid Win32 application." appears in simple commands in .BAT and .CMD as:

...> tasklist
result: "ERROR: %1 is not a valid Win32 application."


...> taskkill
result: "ERROR: %1 is not a valid Win32 application."


Solution test:

1 - I've tried to clean and fix all that is possible in the "Windows Environment"... nothing
2 - I've tried to delete or change some keys in the REGEDIT... nothing
Many keys as Computer\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\batfile\shell\open\command
Many keys as Computer\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\cmdfile\shell\open\command
Many keys as Computer\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\exefile\shell\open\command
end as the value: "%1" %*

3 - CMD as administrator SFC /scannow (inside the system)... nothing
4 - CMD as administrator SFC /scannow (Pendrive bootable (last Windows download available))... nothing


Anyone take this error and get the solution?
