Hi,

In message <523f3ff776dave@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>, Dave Symes <dave@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> writes
It appears... If the app can be run from the .exe without first being
installed (TFThing can) then it'll function under 64bit okay.

If a 32 bit app requires the full kit 'n kaboodle installation, then it'll
baulk on 64bit.

I'd beg to differ. As far as I recall my 32 bit apps work on 64 bit win.

But system tools, drivers, anything that is dependent on the details of win 32, I can imagine will not work - probably one could class this as software that is not written by the rules.

At some point, circa 2006, I had one machine set up with XP 64 and I did quite a lot of software writing on it - so for sure OP works, I did do a 64 bit version of DPScan.
