Golang : Fix go.exe is not compatible with the version of Windows you're running
Problem: You just installed the default binary download of Golang for Windows and when you attempt to execute go.exe
binary you get this error message:
This version of C:\Go\bin\go.exe is not compatible with the version of Windows you're running. Check your computer's system information and then contact the software publisher.
What's going on?
Solution:
Be default, the Golang installer binary that gets automatically downloaded is for Windows 64-bit version and the Windows version that you're using is 32-bit. To fix this problem, simply head over to https://golang.org/dl/ and select the 32-bit installer version with windows-386
tags such as go1.7.1.windows-386.msi
instead of go1.7.1.windows-amd64.msi
