32 bit Ghostscript 8.63 doesn't install on a 64 bit machine

Hi all,
We have a 64 bit server where I am planning to install Financial Reporting which is a 32 bit application and according to Oracle, it should support the 32 bit applciation. I downloaded 32 bit Ghostscript 8.63 to work with the 32 bit Financial Reporting but when I try to install the Ghostscript, it doesn't run complaining that the ghostscript is not a valid win32 application. Can 64 bit Ghostscript 8.63 work with the 32 bit Financial Reporting.
Many thanks.

Your download of Ghostscript is corrupt. Download it again and re-install. Ensure you are retrieving the gs863w32.exe binary from:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/ghostscript/files/GPL%20Ghostscript/8.63/
I literally installed this on 2008 DataCenter x64 3 days ago. It works fine when you have an uncorrupted file. 64-bit version will not work properly with FR you do need 32-bit.
Regards,

Installation Guides should be clear enough, if read. Also read Release Notes for additional support/unsupport info.

The backup and restore from the iCloud was a little unnerving since the restore erased all information from the iPod. The iCloud backup and restore took a long time, but worked. I was very grateful.
Trying again to backup to iTunes locally proved to be the same challenging problem. The same backup to corrupt file was the message. The status bar showing backup seemed to move faster to start, but then slowed to a creep toward the end before the error.
When trying to restore a backup in iTunes, the "Restore" button is grayed out since it is looking for a local copy. Any restore would need to be from the iCloud which already worked but isn't the final solution.
Your suggestions were good, I am just in the same boat. Any thoughts about doing the following?
1) creating a cloud backup
2) resetting the iPod to factory defaults
3) removing all traces of iTunes from my computer and
4) installing iTunes and setting up iPod from scratch.
This is the next thing on my list.

How can I get my installed plugins to show up in Logic after ive installed the plugin discs? ive tried changing the bit mode. it STILL doesn't work.???

I tried installing a program but when i open logic and scan the audio units, it doesnt come up. Even if i change the bit mode, it still doesnt show up. I even tried restarting my machine..Can anyone help me or give me some ideas.
i just wanna get this plugin to work.

Have you confirmed that the plug-in installed to one of the locations where Logic might find it? Most plug-ins go to /Library/Audio/Plug-ins/Components. Some (rarely) install to ~/Library/Audio/Plug-ins/Components (where "~" is your user folder). Look in both locations and see if the plug-in is actually there.
When installing plug-ins, if you are offered options as to what format to install, be sure to include Audio Units. Logic will not see other formats like VST, RTAS, AAX, TDM, etc. If you use other software that recognizes those formats, it's fine to install them too, just be sure you don't deselect Audio Units.
Finally, if you're sure the plug-in is installed to the right place, open the Audio Units Manager in Logic and check to see if the plug-in passed validation. Go to the main menu and choose Logic Pro > Preferences > Audio Units Manager. Check to see if your plug-in is listed there. If there's not a check mark next to it in the "Logic" column, that means it failed validation. If so, the "Compatibilty" column will tell you why. Keep in mind that if the AU is 32-bit, you have to launch Logic in 32-bit mode to see it here. Likewise, 64-bit plug-ins show up in the manager in 64-bit mode.

ITunes for Windows 64-bit (oops, doesn't install under XPx64)

Just as the subject states, whenever I try to install iTunes 7.6 64-bit, it declares that I must have Windows Vista in order to install this. If it's not supposed to work for XP x64, then why post that on the download page? Hopefully if you were trying to be nice and provide us with an XPx64 copy, this trouble will be corrected sometime down the road?
Thanks in advance.

The 64 bit version of iTunes will not install on my machine either. The setup program only checks for Vista 64 and if its not then it won't allow you to install. If there's no major difference in how iTunes works under XP and Vista then It seems like all it take is for the setup program to check for Windows XP x64 then allow iTunes to install.
P.S. I've installed the 32 bit version of iTunes on XP x64. It works but is not stable; It already crashed twice.

Cannot install Windows 7 32-bit using Boot Camp

I have one of the new iMacs (late 2012) and I can't install Windows 7 32-bit using Boot Camp. Whenever I try to being the installation using the Boot Camp Assistant, I always get the following message: "Need 64-bit Windows installation USB drive or DVD. Boot Camp only supports 64-bit Windows installation on this platform. Please use an USB drive or DVD which contains 64-bit Windows". I have successfully installed 32-bit Windows on my Macbook Pro that is running the same version of Mac OS X and Boot Camp, but I don't know why on this new iMac it doesn't allow me to. Apple's documentation states that I should be able to install either 32-bit and 64-bit without any problem, but this is not the case here. I can't find anything about this problem/error on the Internet either. HELP!!!

Yes, circumstances do change but if Apple is, as they claim to be, serious about seamlessly migrating what is still a large and dominant market share of users from Windows, supporting 32 bit versions is not a nice to have, but a must have.
I don't see why users have to make excuses when there is a clear shortfall of what is promised.
In other discussions, there is talk of an opportunity for Apple to make a significant impact, as Windows 8 has deviated so much from the comfort zone of traditional Windows users. But to make that change, Macs have to support what is still a primarily 32 bit environment in the installed base.
As for the use of VMs, I had a tough time migrating out of Parallels 6 after an upgrade to Mountain Lion broke compatibility so IMHO it is not a long term solution unless you are happy to hand out $50 every 2-3 years just to support the same functionality.
Use Virtual Box, it's free.
32 bit may have a reasonable user base but it's going away fast, if you must use 32 bit Windows and won't use a VM your choice is limited.
Buy a PC, or buy an older Mac.
The rest of your post is speculative and I won't go there.

Tutorial: Installing Windows XP 64-bit

After the fairly crappy time I had installing the 64 bit version of Win XP on my computer and peicing together various bits of information contained in various threads on this board in order to make it work, I've decided that I'm going to attempt to write as complete a tutorial as possible detailing the install process from beginning to end in hopes that it helps prevent people from running into the same problems I did. Anyways:
Step 1 - Acquire a copy of Windows XP 64-bit
Obviously you need a copy before you can install it, and you can get a free beta copy of Windows XP 64-bit Edition from here:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/64bit/downloads/upgrade.asp
You can either download the file (it's about 450 MB, though if you're on broadband your transfer will be over fairly quickly...microsoft.com servers always seem to offer excellent download speeds), or have physical CD's shipped to you. Either way it doesn't cost anything, all you have to do is fill out their form, and they'll give you your stuff.
Step 1a - Burn the .iso file to a CD
This section is probably wholly unnecessary, but for the sake of completeness, I'll include it...
If you had microsoft ship you a premade CD, skip this step. However, if you downloaded your copy of Win XP 64, you'll need to burn the image file you downloaded to a CD before you can use it. To do this, open your preferred burning software (I'd recommend using Nero), and select "Burn Image" (or the equivalent option for your software), and specify the .iso file you downloaded as the image file to burn. You should have your CD in a matter of minutes.
Make certain that you note and record the CD-key contained in the e-mail microsoft sent you. Writing this on the CD would be a good idea, as would printing out a copy of the e-mail.
NOTE: Do not burn the ISO file itself to a CD (i.e. create a new data CD and just drag the ISO file into the compilation window)...this will not work as it will put the file itself onto the disc, rather than the CD image contained within the ISO, which is what you want.
Step 2 - Prepare your system
Carefully preparing things before you attempt to install Windows XP 64 can save you a lot of headaches when install time actually comes.
First of all you want to make sure you have a seperate drive/partition to install Windows XP 64 onto (unless you're crazy enough to want a beta operating system to be your full-time OS...and I've seen Win XP 64 in action, and trust me, you do not want this just yet). If you are using RAID make sure you are using the VIA controller and not the Promise controller as from what I've heard there are no 64-bit drivers out yet for the Promise RAID controller. Also if you are using RAID, be sure to read the following thread, which details the process of putting the 64-bit RAID drivers onto a floppy disk, and follow the instructions carefully:
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?threadid=40859&sid=
Next, download all applicable drivers you can and save them in a sensible place (like c:\win64drivers). If the driver comes in an archive, be sure to pre-extract it as well (Win XP 64 does not come with native zip/rar support). It's okay if you don't want to get/cannot find all the drivers you'll need for your system, but at the very least make sure you download and extract the 64-bit ethernet adapter driver appropriate to your setup (most likely the RealTek RTL8169/8110 drivers), otherwise you'll be without internet (which makes downloading additional driver and program files kind of difficult). You may also want to pre-download the installation files for some of the more essential program, like Winzip and WinRAR. The best place I found to find 64-bit drivers is located here:
http://www.planetamd64.com/modules/mx_pafiledb/dload.php?sid=
Step 3 - Configure your BIOS
Certain BIOS settings can screw up the install process, causing it to lock up at certain points, so it's worth taking the time to make sure things are set properly.
Anyways, reboot your computer and go to the BIOS setup area, and make sure that "USB Legacy Support" is disabled, and that "Cool'n'Quiet" support is enabled...this will help reduce the chances of your installer hanging. I found that after my install had completed I was able to re-enable USB Legacy support and have everything still work fine, but your results may vary, and different BIOS versions may have different effects on the installer. I installed with BIOS version 1.20.
While you're here, check your Boot Order settings and make sure that your CD/DVD drive is listed before your HDD is, and then insert your Windows XP 64 CD into the drive. Save your settings and exit.
Step 4 - Installing Windows XP 64
When the computer reboots from step 3, you should see a message that says "Press any key to boot from CD..," so locate the "any" key and press it, and the windows installer will load.
If you've done everything mentioned in the above steps, your install process should hopefully be a painless one, free of the errors and random stupid crap that caused me to spend several hours doing something that shouldn't have taken more than 30 minutes. Select your desired install path (being careful to make sure that you're not installing over your 32-bit Windows) and enter information as requested. If you need access to your RAID array during the install process, then be sure to press F6 when it asks you, and load the driver off of the floppy disk you created.
If all goes well with the install Windows XP 64 should boot, and you can go and install all those handy driver files and software programs that you prepared in Step 2, and get your ethernet adapter working, and so on. Reboot your system after installing the updated drivers, and if windows successfully loads, then congratulations, your install was successful.
NOTE: Do not install the MSI LiveUpdate software from the CD, as I did this and when Windwos loaded I would get a message saying "The service is not started" and when I clicked "Ok" the system would spontaneously reboot. Disabling the software fixed this problem.
...I think that's all. Let me know if I've missed anything.

http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloads1-3.aspx?series=16&Software=True
2. Extract the files in the archive to somewhere like c:\win64drivers\ethernet
3. Once inside Win XP 64, do the following:
a. Click Start -> Settings -> Control Panel -> System -> Hardware -> Device Manager
b. Go down to the "Other Devices" section (they'll have yellow ?'s)
c. Right click on the ethernet controller and click "Update Driver"
d. Click "Install from a list or specific location (Advanced)"
e. Click "Dont search. I will choose the driver to install."
f. Double click the "Network Adapter" entry, and then click "Have Disk..."
g. Select the directory which you extracted the driver files to
i. You will get messages saying that Windows cannot verify that the driver matches your hardware, and that the driver is not WHQL certified. Ignore these and click "Continue"/"Install Anyways" and your RealTek RTL8169/8110 ethernet adapter will spring to life
after i have done this the pc just stops. and if i reboot it stops at the loading screen :/ can you tell me whats wrong i got a k8t neo serie card and windows 64 bit edition
edit: i did it :D works now

ITunes version 11.0.2.26 doesn't install

The latest update to iTunes doesn't install correctly. After the update ran, I received error -42404 and couldn't connect to my AppleTV. I followed the instructions and removed and reinstalled. Now I get an error that AVFoundationCF.dll cannot be found and iTunes won't startup.
I believe before this update I was running the 32 bit version of iTunes. Originally I could not get the 64 bit version to work, the 32 bit version worked fine. Now it seems to want to replace the 32 bit version with 64 bit version.
Any suggestions?

You can try to completely uninstall iTunes from your PC, remove your preferences (remember to backup your data) and then install the latest version: http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
It should fix it but again, backup your content and settings first!

We can't install Office 2013 64-bit on a Win 7 PC that had a 32-bit version of Office

We have a development PC running Windows 7 64-bit. This PC has been around for a while, and way back had various 32-bit versions of Office installed, starting with Office 2003 through 2010. Those versions were uninstalled and Office 2013 Pro
Plus 32-bit was the latest version installed. That version was uninstalled using Revo Uninstaller then the registry was cleaned using JV16 to make sure leftover junk from the prior 32 bit version(s) was removed so we could install Office 2013 x64
Pro Plus, which we now need for testing. It won't install because the installer sees something left over from the prior 32 bit version(s). We can't wipe the PC and start over; it has special sensor hardware and software that we can't move to a different PC
and we're on a tight timeline. We searched the registry and the Program Files (x86) folder and subfolders for anything left over from Office without any luck. The error message reads:
We can't install the 64-bit version of Office because we found the following 32-bit
programs on your PC:
Please uninstall all 32-bit Office programs, then try reinstalling 64-bit Office.
Note that the error message doesn't list the name(s) of any "32-bit programs on your PC" in the error message.
Anybody have an idea how to force an installation of 64-bit Office 2013 Pro Plus?

Is there a way to install just the 32 bit version of Photoshop CS5 on a Windows 7 64 bit machine?

I have a custom built Java 6 application that doesn't like Photoshop CS5 64 bit edition. The program copies over a file from the network to the local machine and then opens it in Photoshop. The user manipulates the image and saves the changes. The user then completes the image and the application copies the image back to the server. The problem we're having is: When we use Photoshop CS5 64-bit, it takes about 2 minutes for Photoshop to open the image. The file is copied over within 2 seconds and the Photoshop icon on the windows taskbar starts flashing. But then you spend a few minutes waiting for it to open.
Some things that I have tried to isolate the problem:
- I found you can copy the file somewhere else, double click on it and the image will open in Photoshop before the script is able to open the file.
- I tried uninstalling Photoshop and reinstalling just the 64 bit edition without the 32 bit installation. The script just stops working in this situation.
- I tried uninstalling CS5 and installing CS3. The image opens as soon as the file is copied over.
What I would like to try next is to install just the CS5 32 bit version. But the installer is being uncooperative and will only allow either the 64 bit version or both the 64 and 32 bit versions. So, back to my question: Is there a way to install just the 32 bit version of Photoshop CS5 on a Windows 7 64 bit machine?

Do you mean schroot? If so I'm not sure exactly how well that will work out, because the part that depends on python is a deamon that handles communication between the USB dongle and the Tux Droid which may mean hacking the deamon a bit so ether way this does not seem like it will be a easy task.

Help Installing Windows 7 64 Bit on Early Mac Pro

As previously noted, Wind 7 RC 64 bit DVD will not boot on early Mac Pro. I installed Win 7 64 bit on a dedicated hard drive as follows: 1) I booted into Vista 64bit successfully 2) I installed Win 7 64 bit on a second black disk, as noted above 3)All files installed correctly I think since Win 7 will begin to boot showing the Windows 7 startup screen 4) However, the startup screen will then disappear and the screen goes black, indicating a failed boot. When I engage the option screen (with primary Mac drive installed) during boot, no Windows disk is shown, indicating that boot camp does not recognize the Win 7 disk as a valid startup drive.
Has anyone successfully installed Win 7 64 bit on an early Mac Pro?? I would appreciate any help in accomplishing this. Also, is there any reason Apple has not provided an EFI firmware update for first generation MacPros?

Burn a DVD with Windows 7 RC 32-bit which you can boot from.
Try Safe Boot also.
From Vista you can install 7 on another hard drive. You can also copy the DVD to 6GB partition and run the install setup off that while in Vista.
Mixing ATI and Nvidia probably still doesn't work (may when 7 ships).
Windows is more aware of disk I/O errors than Mac OS.
Keep your system basic, don't have anything connected or installed you don't need (like PCIe controllers).
Vista SP1 or later, 64-bit also looks for EFI64/UEFI 2.x which causes the "Choose 1 or 2" boot menu and which 2008 Mac Pro (and 2009) work with.
You aren't the first or only person to run into this, and there are people running on 2006 Mac Pro.

Want to install Windows 7 64 bit to DV4T-5200

I'll keep it short - my wife hates Windows 8. She also hates 8.1.
I am trying to install Windows 7 64 bit to her DV4T-5200 laptop, and I have never had so much trouble getting an OS installed before. Does anyone know what BIOS settings I need to enable and disable to get this to install.
I have gotten all the way to the last step of the installation (media I am using is DVD) and get "windows setup could not configure windows to run on this computer's hardware" message.
The thing is, there HP has Windows 7 drivers on the support page for this laptop... so it doesn't seem like I should be unable to perform this installation.
Any ideas would be great. I am on day 3. I predict by day 5 she will fully process the fact that I have completely killed her laptop. Life will be worse. LOL. : )

I tried also running in "Compatability mode" same error.
Since this has to be installed first I didn't bother installing the rest.

With a decent amount of RAM in the system I don't won't to be restricted to 3GB on a 32 bit system anymore .

Windows has its own list of boot OSs, and default, from msconfig. It will sit and wait for xx-seconds on startup in Windows if you want to boot from an alternate.
As to whether Apple's OS Switcher (aka startup disk bootcamp control panel or tray icon) sees both, I had Windows Home Premium and Ultimate 64, and pretty sure OS X saw both. That was pre-Leopard and before there were 64-bit Apple drivers.
I can't think of any scenerio of wanting to mix 32-bit and 64-bit on the same paritition, you realize you can't install the one over the other and must do a clean install.
When I added a partition out of main partition (I wanted to put search index and page file on their own partition) those partitions aren't seen - are hidden - to Leopard.
