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
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.
