Problem with Vista 64-bit

[Sifar 0]

Hi All, I have a Windows Application developed with Visual Studio 2005. I have delivered its Setup files to all of my client. It works fine everywhere with Windows XP and Vista. Now, one of my clients has Vista 64-bit installed on his machine and my Setup does not run successfully over this machine. It gives Error Code 2869. Is there any fix to be applied on Vista machine? Setup should be built on 64-bit machine? Guys, I do not have 64-bit machine to test these approaches. Any suggestion would be very helpful..

Regards, -SIFAR.

One thing you might like to try is to create a virtual 64 bit machine using VMWare (very good) or Virtual PC (not used myself) so that you can test and fix your installations. You could create a whole set of virtual environments for testing.

Agreed, VMs are the only way to go for this kind of testing. But VPC is out since it doesn't support 64-bit guests.

If you create your setup, you can add a "Special Folder" like it's called in VS2008. There you can select the "Program Files (x64)" folder. I don't know if this works in VS2005 too...
