The message that sticks out to me is:
The specified executable is not a valid application for this OS platform.
From a bit of googling, it looks like this is usually caused by trying to install a 64-bit app on a 32-bit OS.
So I guess the outstanding questions are:
- Can we do something to give users a better error message?
- Should make a 32-bit version?

Sad to finally discover how much deprecated my computer is. Hope you support 32bits on upcoming releases.
All programs on the internet provide 32 bit support except Github
