Cabal.exe is not a vilid Win32 file!
You can fix this problem by reinstalling the game and copying Cabal.exe to somewhere safe. Then start Cabal. When that error occurs you just copy the safe Cabal.exe on that which was corrupted. After that you can play Cabal
1.After the installation dont run Cabal imediately but copy Cabal.exe for example to desktop.
2.Run Cabal.exe from your install directory
3.After that when update flash up and Cabal.exe will have Windows icon (and when you click it say something about Win32 error).Copy from desktop Cabal.exe to your installation folder (like copying a crack)
4.You can enjoy your game.
