The PE header at 0x40 isn't the problem, the magic can handle that. However an earlier check fails, causing file to skip the PE test entirely: | # All non-DOS EXE extensions have the relocation table more than 0x40 bytes into the file. | >0x18 leshort <0x40 MS-DOS executable Your file, and also and 8.0 and 9.0 installer I happen to have access to just have 0x20 there. Will have to check some documents to find whether file makes a wrong assumption or these executables are in violation of the specifcation. Christoph
