If memory serves me correctly, the VisualStudio 6.0 packager creates a
part 16bit installer....
It could be that they haven't started using WISE or something else to
create packages.I have had problems with those installer packages
before, namely because they include MDAC and everything else as
dependencies within the package, and not just the files it needs....
I ended up spending a good deal of time with the developer and writing
new packages myself.

That stinks. It sounds like it is time to move to another vendor. What
type of app is it?

Hello Jim,
That was my first thought as well. Unfortunately, we are stuck
with vendor and they are unwilling to budge.

Cole,
Ask you developer to get with the program (no pun intended) and
get away from their 16 bit installer. I don't know if you are a large
customer or not for this vendor, but if you are being a large customer
will have some pull or have you already had this discussion with them?

Its not the customer so much as the developer. The
issue I'm faced with, and I'm sure others of you will run across this
eventually, is that the developer is using a 16-bit installer to install
their 32-bit app. The app would work fine if we could get it installed.
I wonder....what about installing the application on a
32 bit server and using wise or some other packaging program (maybe even
installation manager) to capture the installation an re-package as a
32-bit install program? Might work right?
Cole.

if they must have 64 bit, run the app in a VM.

No and No... There is no 64 bit version of the Softgrid

The 64-bit implementation of Windows 2003 simply does not support 16
bit.

Hello All,
Does anyone know if Softricity will run on 64-bit
Windows? Also, can you run 16-bit applications inside of softricity?
Or, another way of asking this is to say that I have a customer that has
an application with a 16-bit installer. Would it be possible to install
this application into Softricity and then publish it via 64-bit Citrix
and Windows 2003?
Cheers,
Cole.
