KB170035248: ArtiosCAD - Error "The version of this file is not compatible with the version of Windows you're running" appears during launch

Summary

When trying to launch ArtiosCAD (via the shortcut or via Programs), the following error pops up:

Symptoms

The following error pops up and ArtiosCAD cannot be started:

The version of this file is not compatible with the version of Windows you're running. Check 
your computer's system information to see whether you need an x86 (32-bit) or x64 (64-bit) 
version of the program and then contact the software publisher.

Solution

To launch the program, an executable, artioscad.exe, is called.

1. Check under the installation path of ArtiosCAD (usually C:\Esko\Artios\ArtiosCADx.x\Program) for a file called artioscad.exe.
   1. Probably this file is renamed to, for e.g.: artiosCAD.exe.tmp, which is why it cannot be executed. It can be caused by a virus or a manual modification.
2. Copy this file and run it. If ArtiosCAD starts up correctly, the file itself is still OK.
3. Remove the wrongly named (tmp) EXE file and rename the copy back to the original name artioscad.exe.
4. Remove the shortcut on the desktop and create a new shortcut from the correct artioscad.exe file.
