Applications: Running 32-Bit Applications with Windows Running on AMD Opteron and AMD Athlon 64 Systems
Google Search It
I came across this title in the release notes for the beta version of Windows 2003 for 64 bit AMD with SP1. It seems innocuous enough at first. The problem is in the details which I quote below:
Generally, you can run 32-bit applications on Windows Server 2003, Standard Edition; Windows Server 2003, Enterprise Edition; and Windows XP 64-Bit Edition without making any changes. Applications that meet the following criteria, however, are not compatible with Windows products running on AMD Opteron and Athlon 64 systems:
- Applications with 16-bit installers
- Applications that install 32-bit kernel-mode drivers
- Applications with dependencies on any version of Microsoft .NET Framework
We recommend that you contact your software vendors to verify whether one of these exceptions applies to your software.
Hmmmmm... I think that could be a problem for me. Uggghhhhhhh!!!!!! Besides, wasn't the .NET Framework supposed to deal explicitly with this problem?
