vista 64 installer issues??!*

Hey all,

Tell me. Why are installers not able to load up properly in vista 64?

Also, am I also correct in hearing that programs are also having issues installing into Win7 64 as well?

Just curious.

What installers? I have only had one problem installing an addon in Vista 64 which is what I was running before, and that was the Realflight Hellcat. I am now running Windows 7 and it is practically the same thing as Vista. I havent really had any problems installing programs in 7 64 bit.
 
I think its more a FSx SP1 issue...It works fine with FSX SP2 for me...But not for SP1

Thats the tailWind..

All others are problem free...
 
Maybe some people forget to install the proper runtimes (e.g. 32 bit runtimes for 32 bit applications).
I had less problems with installers under Vista64 than i now have with Win7.
Fortunately the blue screens which i got with Vista64 are now gone with Win7 64.
