VS7 32/64 bit dual install

Post by aussiejoe »

Is it possible to have both 32/64 bit versions installed on the same PC.
Would this create any licensing/activation issues
cheers

I just tried this and it appears the answer is No. I have problems with the 64 bit and want to see if the same problem exists on the 32 bit. When I went to install the 32 bit program I had to un-install the 64 bit version first.

Yes only one will install. We're not sure exactly why this is so when Corel's Paintshop Pro allows installation of both the 32 bit and 64 bit versions on the same computer. But as you suggest, it is most likely for licensing reasons, and Dolby Digital audio in particular.
