Actually I have tried C:\WINDOWS\Desktop\devcpp4.zip
                      C:\Windows\Desktop\devcpp401.zip
                      C:\Windows\Desktop\setup.zip
I still get the same message: C:WINDOWS\Desktop\-----zip is not a valid 
Win32 application.
I even sent Dev-cpp to the recycle bin. Maybe I should try to download it 
one more time? Of course I don't beleive this is the solution.

Thank you jansb000 for your reply.

Do you have Hide File Extensions for Known types active? If so then it is
possible that the extension put on the file is .exe but you just can't see
it. Alternativly the association for your zip files is wrong. The message
you are getting is suggesting that you are trying to execute the file, which
is wrong if it is a zip file. Try going to WinZip or whatever the
application of your choice it and opening the file through the File-Open
dialog it supplies. That should work. You may need to tell it to show all
files (*.*) instead of ".zip" only.

Jason.

If Windows thinks that a file with a zip extension should be a program, then
you don't have WinZip (or other unzipper) installed, or else the zip
extension is not registered (though in this case Windows should give you the
opportunity to select a program to open the file).

Rename to setup.zip (and not setup.zp).
