Installing 32-Bit Programs With 16-Bit Setup Launcher Stubs

Last time I had this problem was when I had XP Pro 64-bit. But it seems the latest XP Pro 32-bit version can not start 32-bit Setup Launcher on old CC2 disks including the symencrypt6 which I downloaded from ProFantasy site years ago.

Do I Need the 32-Bit or the 64-Bit Version? What's the difference between 32-bit and 64-bit, and which one do I need? This program allows you to download and install any version of the software you received from us, so long as you don't install more copies of the software than you have licenses for. This means you can download.

Does anyone here know how to get these moving? I sent in to tech support as well, but was wondering if anyone else might have a solution. The only disks I have anymore that uses the 32-bit Setup Launcher is DD2, CD2 and CC2 Dioramas.

Linda fixed my issues with DD2 and CD2 but now I need Dioramas fixed, and symencrypt6. In case your wondering. Running Windows XP Pro 32-bit SP2 Nvidia GeForce 9400 GT •. I'd like to thank Profantasy and Linda for coming to my rescue once again. I guess I will have to assume that anything that says '32-bit Setup Launcher' will no longer work in newer computers.

So with a different excutable file, this one saying 'InstallShield Setup Launcher' I was able to install CC2Dioramas with my original disk code. The only Profantasy disks I own that use the older '32-bit Setup Launcher' are CC2 v.6, CD2, DD2 and CC2Dioramas. Well I have CC2 Pro so the last three are the troublesome trio. So thank you once again Profantasy. I still need CC2 to use my Tombs disk until a compatablity patch is made for CC3 •. Something to keep in mind, a 32-bit app does not mean a 32-bit launcher. I would think that the older disks could use a 16-bit launcher as that was very common up until a few years ago, not need to be otherwise.

The main issue is, 16-bit applications on a 32-bit Windows OS are handled through what's known as 16-bit Windows on Windows (WOW). I should say, that's true with the NT family of products (NT/2000/XP/Vista), not the Win 9x and ME since they aren't truly 32-bit. So, when you have a 64-bit version of Windows, there's a version of the WOW to run 32-bit apps called WOW32. Unfortunately, there can't be yet another WOW version so there isn't a WOW16, hence a 16-bit app can't run. I've seen this with a good number of installers until the last few years as many companies don't upgrade to the newest installers unless there's a good reason since the old addage, if it's not broke don't fix it, is really true with installers.

Nowadays are very widespread. But 32-bit OS are still present on the market, in quite obvious quantities. A lot of modern program tools are developed to be run only in 64-bit mode, because the maintenance of both 32 and 64 bit operating systems requires additional expenses. For the users of 32-bit OS, it is sometimes necessary to use software designed only for 64-bit OS. So what shall the user do if he/she is not ready to stop using the 32-bit OS as the main working system?

There are certain peculiarities in different operation systems, related to the 64-bit applications launch in the 32-bit environment. Firstly, starting 64-bit applications in the 32-bit environment you lose the benefit of using more RAM. Also, to support 64-bit applications your processor should have a. Let's take a look at some of the most popular OS.

In the Mac OS X the core is a hybrid one. It allows the running of any application regardless of its bit rate. The only difference between a hybrid core and a full 64-bit one is the inability to use more than 32 GB of RAM in the system. So at this moment there is absolutely no difference between loading in 32 and 64-bit modes. But in the future this difference will become more prominent due to the RAM usage increase, and further technological development. For the family of Linux operating systems, and the 32-bit Windows OS, is used to run 64-bit applications in a 32-bit environment.

There is a number of specialized software products that enable you to install a virtual guest 64-bit OS, where you will be able to install and run the required application. And if the operating system is not a free one, you will have to buy it. Virtualization is software that emulates the work of a hardware platform with all its components (a processor, memory, a hard drive, USB, optical drive, video and network adapters, etc.). A virtual machine allows you to install and run multiple guest systems (OS, running on virtual machines) within a single host system (OS, installed on the hardware) at the same time. The list of operating systems which can be installed on virtual machines, varies greatly and depends on the particular virtualization system.

Here are some popular solutions: - a universal free virtual machine. VirtualBox is a very simple, powerful and free tool for virtualization, developed with the support of the famous Oracle Corporation. It is free, open source software. VirtualBox allows you to install almost any current operating system as a 'guest' one, whether it be Windows, Mac OS or any of the numerous representatives of the Linux family.
