I need to install Win7 SDK on Win7 amd64 computer. Microsoft download page http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=18950 contains 3 iso files: GRMSDK_EN_DVD.iso, GRMSDKIAI_EN_DVD.iso and GRMSDKX_EN_DVD.iso. I wasted a few hours downloading first one, and, of course, got an error message "WinSDK_amd64.msi not found", which means: I need another ISO.
So, which one of these two: GRMSDKIAI_EN_DVD.iso or GRMSDKX_EN_DVD.iso matches my Win7 64 bit computer?
Here are the descriptions of the three versions. (FROM MSDN)
GRMSDK_EN_DVD.iso is a version for x86 environment.
GRMSDKX_EN_DVD.iso is a version for x64 environment.
GRMSDKIAI_EN_DVD.iso is a version for Itanium environment.
Enjoy!
You need to download the first one "GRMSDKX_EN_DVD.iso". This one is for an AMD64. If this doesn't work you need to get it from some were else.

I want to install some software on a pre-alpha XP build (codename Windows Whistler). However, 90% of the installers fail to run. I guess it is because of the kernel version, which I suppose is somewhere between 5.0 and 5.1 (as I remember even the software that should run under Windsows 2000 did not succeed to install).
How can I most correctly and efficiently change the values in registry so that I have a chance to test some software (I know there can be bugs because of missing features, I'm doing tests in the VM).
The same question about Windows XP x64 with kernel version 5.2 - where to change it so that basic software designed for Win XP x86 does install as it does on regular Win XP (or maybe there is some compatibility option in properties).
Thanks for your help.
UPD: Java Runtime Environment version 5 update xxx should work on Windows 2000 (and even on Windows 98 SE, I tested it). But it somehow refused to install on Whistler... Maybe they cut something important away during development to make builds faster to compile?
You can try Right Click on .exe -> Properties -> Compatibility -> Run this program in compatibilty mode for.. and then specify compatible versions of OS.
I'm attempting to install Java 8 JRE on Window 10, and it's failing. The purpose of this is so that I can install SQLWorkbenchJ on my Windows machine. This is my personal machine, and I have complete access privileges. Please let me know if I can provide any additional information to answer this question (e.g., logs).
I've downloaded Java 8 from Oracle, specifically the offline 64 bit version for windows. When I download it, it places the following icon on my desktop:
When I double click on this icon, the following image pops up:
After I click "Yes" and the popup box disappears, nothing happens. Windows continues operating as if nothing happened. The only trace of activity is in the task manager, which shows the following:
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this? I'm at a loss for how to push the installation process forward.
Update: I was able to solve this issue by installing the x86 version (32 bit) instead. I'm not sure why the x64 version doesn't work on Windows 10, but I'd seen this solution subtly referred to elsewhere on the internet as a solution. Would be interesting if someone could figure out why the x64 version itself doesn't work.
We have two concerns here - 1. JRE 8u101 (64-bit) fails to install without an error message and 2. JRE 8u101 (64-bit) fails to install on Windows 10.
The first one seems similar to http://bugs.java.com/view_bug.do?bug_id=8148167 which is a known issue.
However, it would be appropriate to take a look at jusched and JavaDeploy log files to confirm the same.
The second concerns with 64-bit JRE installation in Windows
Microsoft Edge on Windows 10 is not supported a supported browser.
For Internet Explorer 11 on Windows 10, see:
Related bug ID: http://bugs.java.com/view_bug.do?bug_id=8162523
For a solution related to 64-bit installation, suggest you to follow the instructions from the comment in the above bug report.
Hope this helps.
This is known issue https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8148167 , this has already fixed in 8u111/8u112, early access builds are available here - https://jdk8.java.net/download.html, you can download and try to install the same. Do let us know your feedback?
I was having this issue as well and the 8u112 worked from this page
Thank you
I have purchased 1 month subscription to FDT to try it out, but there is no installation on Windows. I know it is supposed to run from exe, but it won't let me, even though I have verified I have the latest version enter image description here
Java error
Latest Version
Please help - it cost money and is very frustrating!!
Even though I am running 64bit Windows 7, The java error above looks like it is reading the OS as 32bit. So, following the advice in eclipse forums regarding bittedness:
https://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/t/198527/
So I downloaded the 32-bit version of FDT, and it solved the problem!
Cheers.
I am trying to install Sheridan controls (ActiveThreed 2.01) on Win7 64-bit, but evidently it is a 16-bit installer so it won't execute.
What would be the best way to get round this problem?
Can anyone comment on whether http://homepage3.nifty.com/takeda-toshiya/msdos/index.html would be helpful?
It took me months of googling to find a solution for this issue. You don't need to install a virtual environment running a 32-bit version of Windows to run a program with a 16-bit installer on 64-bit Windows. If the program itself is 32-bit, and just the installer is 16-bit, here's your answer.
There are ways to modify a 16-bit installation program to make it 32-bit so it will install on 64-bit Windows 7. I found the solution on this site:
http://www.reactos.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=22&t=10988
In my case, the installation program was InstallShield 5.X. The issue was that the setup.exe program used by InstallShield 5.X is 16-bit. First I extracted the installation program contents (changed the extension from .exe to .zip, opened it and extracted). I then replaced the original 16-bit setup.exe, located in the disk1 folder, with InstallShield's 32-bit version of setup.exe (download this file from the site referenced in the above link). Then I just ran the new 32-bit setup.exe in disk1 to start the installation and my program installed and runs perfectly on 64-bit Windows.
You can also repackage this modified installation, so it can be distributed as an installation program, using a free program like Inno Setup 5.
You can't run 16-bit applications (or components) on 64-bit versions of Windows. That emulation layer no longer exists. The 64-bit versions already have to provide a compatibility layer for 32-bit applications.
Support for 16-bit had to be dropped eventually, even in a culture where backwards-compatibility is of sacred import. The transition to 64-bit seemed like as good a time as any. It's hard to imagine anyone out there in the wild that is still using 16-bit applications and seeking to upgrade to 64-bit OSes.
What would be the best way to get round this problem?
If the component itself is 16-bit, then using a virtual machine running a 32-bit version of Windows is your only real choice. Oracle's VirtualBox is free, and a perennial favorite.
If only the installer is 16-bit (and it installs a 32-bit component), then you might be able to use a program like 7-Zip to extract the contents of the installer and install them manually. Let's just say this "solution" is high-risk and you should have few, if any, expectations.
It's high time to upgrade away from 16-bit stuff, like Turbo C++ and Sheridan controls. I've yet to come across anything that the Sheridan controls can do that the built-in controls can't do and haven't been able to do since Windows 95.
I posted some information on the Infragistics forums for designer widgets that may help you for this. You can view the post with the following link:

Note that the registry keys would be different for the different product and you may need to install on a 32 bit machine to see what keys you need.
I am mostly posting this in case someone comes along and is not aware
that VB2005 and VB2008 have update utilities that convert older
VB versions to it's format. Especially since no one bothered to
point that fact out.
Points taken, but maintenance of this VB6 product is unavoidable. It would also be costly in man-hours to replace the Sheridan controls with native ones. Simply developing on a 32-bit machine would be a better alternative than doing that. I would like to install everything on Win7 64-bit ideally. – CJ7
Have you tried utilizing the code upgrade functionality of VB Express 2005+?
If not,
1. Make a copy of your code - folder and all.
2. Import the project into VB express 2005.
This will activate the update wizard.
3. Debug and get the app running.
4. Create a new installer utilizing MS free tool.
5. You now have a 32 bit application with a 32 bit installer.
Until you do this, you will never know how difficult or hard it
will be to update and modernize the program.
It is quite possible that the wizard will update the Sheridan controls
to the VB 2005 controls. Again, you will not know if it does
and how well it does it until you try it.
Alternatively, stick with the 32 Bit versions of Windows 7 and 8.
I have Windows 7 x64 and a program that will not run. However,
the program will run in Windows 7 32 bit as well as Windows 8 RC 32 bit.
Under Windows 8 RC 32, I was prompted to enable 16 bit emulation
which I did and the program rand quite fine afterwords.
I had 32-bit software with a 16-bit installer that I couldn't unzip. I solved it with otvdm which allows you to run windows 1.x, 2.x, 3 programs on win64. In fact, otvdmw allows you to select the program to run (otvdm is command-line).
16 bit installer will not work on windows 7 it's no longer supported by win 7 the most recent supported version of windows that can run 16 bit installer is vista 32-bit even vista 64-bit doesn't support 16-bit installer....

Bottom line at the top: Get newer programs or get an older computer.
The solution is simple. It sucks but it's simple. For old programs keep an old computer up and running. Some times you just can't find the same game experience in the new games as the old ones. Sometimes there are programs that have no new counterparts that do the same thing. You basically have 2 choices at that point. On the bright side. Old computers can run $20 -$100 and that can buy you the whole system; monitor, tower, keyboard, mouse and speakers. If you have the patience to run old programs you should have the patience to find what you are looking for in want ads. I have 4 old computers running; 2 windows 98, 2 windows xp. The my wife and I each have win7 computers.
My application throws the exception below.
Exception in thread "main"
java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: Cannot
load 32-bit SW T libraries on 64-bit
JVM.
How to solve this? What is the name of jar file needed?
On 64-bit JVM's you need the 64-bit SWT. Current versions can be downloaded here:
http://archive.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/drops/R-3.6.1-201009090800/index.php#SWT
Note the first two downloads, the first is for x32, the other for x64.
Note: Even on 64bit Windows, if you use the 32bit JVM, you still need the 32bit SWT version!
I faced the same problems a couple of weeks ago. We develop an RCP application that must use 32bit SWT, but we work on 64bit machines.
What we had to do was to change Eclipse's configurations so it pointed to a 32bit JVM. We did it on Window -> Preferences -> Java -> Installed JRE's. On this preference page, we changed all references from "Program Files" to "Program Files (x86)".
I hope it helps you somehow.
For the latest link to SWT library downloads:
SWT project page
My answer is more less compilation of above posted answers, especially the comment of the user #ClickUpvote who provided (by my opinion) the best answer. So here it is, I tested it just before posting it:
If your application throws the exception below (On Windows 7 64 bit, with JVM 64)
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: Cannot load 32-bit SW T libraries on 64-bit JVM.
Then the solution is as follows:
On 64-bit JVM's you need the 64-bit SWT.
Current versions can be downloaded as described below - pretty well hidden:
Go to: http://www.eclipse.org/swt/
Scroll down to Releases
Click on more at:
Stable
Windows, Linux, OS X, more...
In new page that opens just download this file (at the time of writing this post URL is
( http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/drops4/R-4.4-201406061215/#SWT )
Windows (x86_64) (Supported Versions) (http) 6.3 MB swt-4.4-win32-win32-x86_64.zip
And that is exactly the version you need.
You're simply building against the wrong version of SWT. Either download the 64bit Eclipse or grab the delta pack and build against the correct target environment.
Those links are all a little out of date for downloads of the 64-bit versions. Try this one: http://jarfiles.pandaidea.com/swt.html, found after an hour of googling.
