Hi @Andriy_Getya and Welcome to the Community

Are you sure you have deleted the setup.exe file?

(Did you format your pc or something similar?)

If not its still possible you have the setup.exe file in a backup folder made when you originally installed the software:

"Installing the bundled software (user guides included) automatically makes a backup copy of the

[Setup.exe] file in the [C] drive on your computer. With the backup file, you can install the software

on another computer even after deleting the [Setup.exe] file by formatting the built-in flash

memory of your Walkman. You first need to copy the [Setup.exe] file and the [Install] folder in the

[Backup] folder to the Walkman. Then, connect the Walkman to another computer on which you

want to install the software and follow the above procedure from step 2. After installing the

software, delete the [Setup.exe] file and the [Install] folder on the Walkman.

The backup data is preserved in the following [C] drive on your computer by the default install

setting.

C:\Program Files\Sony\WALKMAN Guide\NWZ-B170\Backup

[Program Files(x86)] may be displayed depending on the computer OS."

Thanks a lot for your reply.

But I did not install Walkman to PC. It worked without installation.

I opened Walkman Storage Media and deleted Setup.exe file inside ot Walkman.

Some music files were protected but the Setup.exe was not.

Now Walkman works OK but equalizer does not. It is written "cannot execute".

Thanks for getting back to me.

It could well be that if the bass is turned on then you can't access the equalizer.

Try turning it off and this should help.
