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 client. Even when one
is available, your 16-bit apps will not run. 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.
