Guest Jibey Jacob Posted July 15, 2007 Posted July 15, 2007 Hi: Do 32-bit applications made for 32-bit Vista run without problems on 64-bit Vista? Is it possible to run Virtual PC 2007 on 64-bit Vista and then run Small Business Server 2003 R2 on that VM? Thanks.
Guest S.SubZero Posted July 15, 2007 Posted July 15, 2007 Re: 32-bit applications on 64-bit Vista 32-bit apps have a high degree of compatibility on 64-bit Windows. It's not 100%. In theory, the "Certified for Windows Vista" logo... http://www.microsoft.com/windows/products/windowsvista/buyorupgrade/logo.mspx ....as the site says, ensures compatiblity with 32-bit and 64-bit Windows Vista. Of course this does apply only to software carrying this logo.
Guest Jibey Jacob Posted July 15, 2007 Posted July 15, 2007 Re: 32-bit applications on 64-bit Vista How about running Virtual PC 2007 on 64-bit Vista and then running Micorosft Windows Small Business Server 2003 R2 on that VM? Would this have any compatibility problems? Thanks.

Guest Theo Posted July 15, 2007 Posted July 15, 2007 Re: 32-bit applications on 64-bit Vista You need to go to the Microsoft web site and look up VPC 2007. I don't think the VPC will support a server OS as a Guest, but I may be wrong. I couldn't find anything specific about it doing a quick check. This web site: http://vpc.visualwin.com/ doesn't specify Business version, but it no that Microsoft provides "NO SUPPORT" for the Server 2003 in VPC.
