I searched for this error and got that i have to download winutils.exe which i did, I set the path HADOOP_HOME = "c:\Hadoop" and then ran the command

C:\Hadoop\bin\winutils.exe chmod 777 /tmp/hive

but i got following error

This version of C:\Hadoop\bin\winutils.exe is not compatible with the version of
 Windows you're running. Check your computer's system information to see whether
 you need a x86 (32-bit) or x64 (64-bit) version of the program, and then contac
t the software publisher.

I tried to search 32 bit version of winutils.exe but i couldnt get it.. Please help me with this installation. Thank You in advance
