32bit app on TS 2008 & Hyper-V

[Guest tom_tom88]

I have a TS 2008 64 bit server, I need to install a 32 bit app to be

available for the remote users. I obviously cannot install it on the 64 bit

server, is there a way, if i create a virtual 32bit server on hyper-v and

then install the 32bit app, can i make that available to the remote users.

sorry if i am not clear, but i hope you get the idea :)

32-bit applications can be installed on a 64-bit system. There are caveats

but 64-bit does have a 32-bit WoW subsystem.

Hi, It does not seem to want to install and gives a error about being the

wrong version of windows. Do I have to enable the 32-bit sub system in some

way ?

No. That typically means the installer or some part of the code of the

program still has 16-bit pieces. Yes, way too many "32-bit" software still

have 16-bit pieces left in them espcially installers.
