CompTIA A+ Core 2 (220-1102) — Question 672
A technician is installing a new business application on a user's desktop computer. The machine is running Windows 10 Enterprise 32-bit operating system. Which of the following files should the technician execute in order to complete the installation?
Answer options
- A. Installer_x64.exe
- B. Installer_Files.zip
- C. Installer_32.msi
- D. Installer_x86.exe
- E. Installer_Win10Enterprise.dmg
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is D, Installer_x86.exe, as it is designed for 32-bit systems. Option A, Installer_x64.exe, is meant for 64-bit systems and won't work on a 32-bit OS. Option B is a zip file that requires extraction and does not directly execute the installation. Option C, Installer_32.msi, could be a valid choice, but the x86 executable is typically the standard for 32-bit installations. Option E is a DMG file, which is not compatible with Windows operating systems.
