This is an app I am trying to get rewritten and fixed. I also have web version coming.

Someone suggested installing it with Windows XP on a USB thumb drive to distribute. Someone said that will not work.

I thought about a maybe sending it out with LINUX WINE which can emulate Windows XP.

Getting the people to upgrade to Win 7 Pro or Win 7 Ultimate with virtualization is not an ideal solution. Trying to get some to load XP on Win 7 64-bit and get free Windows VM. If their CPU is not optimized for virtualization it is a problem.

I wish I could put a Java Jar wrapper or something.

Please no "buy a Mac" or "get LINUX" suggestions. Thanks.

What’s missing from the home version of Windows 7 that is causing your problem.

What about making the application a vmware appliance?

I have Win 7 Home Premium 64 bit on a new computer at home and have no problems running old apps, even old Win98 apps.

Is this a VB application or C++?

Recompile using a 64 bit box, it’ll run fine.
I use Visual Studio 2008.
