CompTIA A+ Core 2 (220-1202) — Question 181
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 the 32-bit architecture of Windows 10. Option A, Installer_x64.exe, is for 64-bit systems and would not work on a 32-bit OS. Option B, Installer_Files.zip, is a compressed file that cannot be executed directly. Option C, Installer_32.msi, while compatible, is not the best practice for a standard executable installation. Option E, Installer_Win10Enterprise.dmg, is a format used primarily for macOS, not Windows.
