Error deploying on XP x64 bit machine

2005-09-15, 8:23 pm

Am using db2K 0.1 b1608, BDE 5.0, and InstallShield Express ver 2.01 with an
app developed over a number of years...

When a user attempted to deploy the app on a new Win XP x64 machine, the
SETUP.EXE through an error message: "The image file D:\SETUP.EXE is valid,
but is for a machine [running 32 bit, or something like that]"

So, several questions:

(a) Is this likely going to be a problem just with Install Shield, so that
using Inno or something else to install should work? or
(b) Is Visual dBase going to through up an error as well, when trying to
run on a 64 bit OS?

Thanks,

Lee Camp
