haven't been online since last sunday, started up just now, downloaded a 150mb or so patch, and now the game client won't start

i get this error:

Unable to start game client: %1 is not a valid Win32 application.

mean anything to anyone? i tried rebooting my system but it had no effect

i have had no trouble playing the game so far since owning it, and i'm running Win7 Ultimate 64bit


update:
i put on the 'force verify' option to check the files and i get a crash every time i run it at various points of the verification, with a bug report message

    Try deleting GameClient.exe and letting it re-mirror. That will generally fix such issues.

    Delete exes.hogg and then try a force verify.
