Install BOE on 64 bit OS

I have windows server 2008 (64 bit), can I install Crystal Reports & BOE XI 3.1 on the server, will it work without any issue. Reason for asking this is, I installed Oracle 10g Client (32 bit) on the server and stated getting problems, it didn't create the Data Source drivers and also didn't allow me to install the ODAC.
Thanks

Hi
Business Objects Enterprise XI3.1 is supported on 64 bit Windows 2008. Same for CR
I checked the SP2 supported platforms document

Error (STU00104) while installing BOE XI 3.1 SP4

Hi All,
I am installing BOE XI 3.1 SP4 on a host which is already running the BI7 system
DB: Oracle 10.2.0.4
What i am trying to do is that i want to use the same existing DB of BI, so for that i have created a Tblspace for BO: PSAPBO1
and then created schemas for Repository DB and Audit DB in the existing DB.
Now, i started the installation by using same BI application admin user and it went till phase "Enter the information for new CMS" where it ask Oracle TNSNAME , username to connect to DB
I gave TNSNAME with absolute path and tried both users tbiadm and oratbi but it failed every time with an error.....
" Failure to validate the database credential has a potential to crash the database at a later stage. Enter the correct information. (STU00104) "
BOE is 32 bit but Db is 64 bit....
kindly suggest what needs to be done and what is that i am doing wrong.......
regards
S........

Hi,
check SAP Note - 1298935
Two other things...SAP does not recommend installing BOE on the same Host as your BI System. A seperate Host is recommended for BOE.
Its. nor a problem having the DB running on a 64Bit Arch. while the BOE Arch. is 32Bit.

How to Install Coldfusion 8 64-bit on Small Business Server 2008 64-bit

How to Install Coldfusion 8 64-bit on Small Business Server 2008 64-bit
I ran Coldfusion 8 on SBS 2003 Premium for 6 months with no problems. When we finally decided to cut over to SBS 2008, that’s when everything went to hell. I tried for weeks to get Coldfusion 8 to install properly on the new SBS 2008 64-bit box. During the course which, I found bits and pieces of information for Vista 64-bit and Windows Server 2008 64-bit installations. There are some distinct differences, however, with SBS 2008 since it runs core Web applications like OWA, RWW and Companyweb. After countless unsuccessful attempts, one of which completed corrupted the box, I found the solution.
I have attempted in this white paper to detail the steps to assist others who may be in a similar situation. I don’t make any warranty for the information, but so long as you follow the steps carefully you should be fine. BTW, for those of you who say Adobe offers free technical support for licensed users, that’s not entirely true. Like I said, I purchased CF8 and originally installed it on an SBS 2003 Premium box. After we cut over to SBS 2008 and encountered problems, Adobe wouldn’t provide any technical support without charging. Moreover, based on my initial conversations with Adobe’s technical team, no one seemed to know much about running 64-bit on SBS.
From my understanding, only two versions of Coldfusion 8 can be installed in 64-bit: Enterprise and Developer. The “normal” install (which I paid a grand for) can only be deployed in 32-bit mode – gee, THANKS Adobe! By the way, in Developer mode only two distinct IPs can access the site in addition to the localhost. Any additional IPs will result in a CFML error message stating that the maximum number of IPs have been exceeded. At any rate, take your time and follow the steps to achieve a successful installation.
PRE-INSTALLATION TASKS
Back Up SBS
It’s always a good practice to backup your server before deploying any kind of major system changes. Although this step is optional, I recommend it in case you need to restore your server for any reason. Bear in mind, if your system ever gets totally corrupted, you cannot restore back from the twice daily incremental backup images alone. You will need a full backup with system recovery information to restore. Here are the basic steps:
Click: Start > Programs > Administrative Tools. Right-click “Windows Server Backup” and choose “Run as administrator”.
Click “Backup Once” under Actions in the right-hand pane.
Choose the “Different Options” radio button under Backup Options.
Choose the “Custom” radio button. What we’re primarily interested in here is backing up the OS – not your data partitions or attached drives.
Select the “SYSTEM (C)” checkbox, uncheck any others. Also, ensure that the “Enable system recovery” checkbox is selected before continuing on.
Under ‘Specify Destination Type’, I usually select the “Local drives” radio button and point it to a Terrabyte USB drive I use for backups. You can point this to a tape drive, or select the “Remote shared folder” radio button if you map to a UNC path to store your backup images. Just remember, make sure that whatever path you select can readily be accessed in the event of an emergency. Also, make sure the “Verify after writing (recommended)” checkbox is selected.
Under ‘Specified Advanced Option’, I usually select the “VSS full backup” radio button instead of the default since I don’t use a 3rd party backup product. If like me you rely solely on SBS for your backups, choose the full backup option.
Confirm everything and click “Backup”. This process may take several hours depending on the size of your system.
Verify ISAPI Filters:
In IIS Manager, double-click the server instance in the left-hand pane.
In the center pane under IIS, double click the “Modules” icon to verify that the ISAPI native modules are already installed for IIS. If it’s set up correctly you should see two entries:
IsapiFilterModule %windir%\System32\inetsrv\filter.dll
IsapiModule %windir%\System32\inetsrv\isapi.dll
If either of these modules are missing, you will need to re-install these (google for a solution).
Set Up Development Environment
Create a directory for your CFML files outside of the default Windows location (e.g., default is usually C:\inetpub\wwwroot\). For the purpose of our install, I created a directory on a separate disk called: D:\DEV.
Copy and paste your CFML files and directories into the new DEV root Web directory. This will eventually be the directory where the Coldfusion installer places the CFIDE and CFDOCS folders.
Open IIS Manager and double-click the server instance in the left hand pane. Expand the “Sites” folder. Right-click the Sites folder and select “Add Web Site”.
Enter a name in the “Site Name” box (e.g., “test-site”). You will notice that the system will automatically create a corresponding Application Pool with the same name. NOTE: this is important to prevent conflicts between the DefaultAppPool (needed for SBS Web apps like OWA, RWW, etc.) and the application pool needed for Coldfusion to function properly in SBS 2008.
Point the “Physical Path” to the directory you created in step #1 above (e.g., “D:\DEV”).
Don’t worry about testing the connection. If you click “Test Settings” you may receive a warning that IIS cannot verify access to path (D:\DEV). Don’t worry about this for the time being.
Under “Host name”, enter a DNS path to your site (e.g., “dev.test-site.com”). Click “OK”.
Configure Application Pools for Installation
In IIS Manager, double-click the server instance in the left-hand pane. Click on “Application Pools” to display the list of server application pools in the center pane.
In the “Actions” pane on the right-hand side, click “Set Application Pool Defaults”.
Change “Enable 32-Bit Applications” - the second item from the top – from “False” to “True”, and then click “OK”. NOTE: if you skip this step, Coldfusion will not properly create the required mappings during the install. We will change this setting back after the installation completes – more on this later.
Modify the application.host.config File for 64-Bitness
Click: Start > Programs > Accessories. Right-click “Notepad” and choose “Run as administrator”.
Open the config file from within Notepad – default location: C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv\config\applicationHost.config
Do a search and change this one line from:
<add name="PasswordExpiryModule" image="C:\Windows\system32\RpcProxy\RpcProxy.dll" />
To this:
<add name="PasswordExpiryModule" image="C:\Windows\system32\RpcProxy\RpcProxy.dll" preCondition="bitness64" />
Restart the IIS Admin service.
Set HTTP Compression
According to some threads I read, the http compression module can cause errors if you don’t disable it globally. To remedy this, perform the following:
Click: Start > Programs > Accessories. Right-click “Command Prompt” and choose “Run as administrator”.
At the command prompt, change directory to intetsrv by typing: cd inetsrv
Run the following command:
C:\Windows\system32\inetsrv>appcmd.exe set config -section:system.webServer/httpCompression /-[name='xpress']
This will turn off HTTP compression for all sites in IIS.
In IIS Manager, double-click the server instance in the left-hand pane. Double-click the “Compression” icon in the IIS section of the center pane.
Uncheck all of the boxes, then click the “Apply” button under Actions in the right-hand pane.
Recheck all of the boxes, then click the “Apply” button under Actions in the right-hand pane.
Restart the IIS Admin service. This should enable compression and coldfusion to work at the same time.
NOTE: if for some reason you need to reverse this, run the following command from the command prompt:
C:\Windows\system32\inetsrv\appcmd.exe set config -section:system.webServer/httpCompression /+[name='xpress',doStaticCompression='false',dll='%windir%\system32\inetsrv\suscomp.dll']
INSTALLATION TASKS
Download the 64-bit installation package from Adobe – filename: coldfusion-801-wind64.exe.
Right-click the file and select “Run as administrator”.
Accept the terms of the License Agreement.
If you have an Enterprise license, enter it. For our purposes, just click the “Developer Edition” checkbox.
Select “Server configuration” – the default radio button.
I deselected all subcomponents and can’t guarantee that you’ll arrive at the same results if you select additional items like “.NET Integrated Services”. It should be fine, particularly if you install documentation. My preference was to keep the install as plain vanilla as possible.
Select the directory path for Coldfusion to install into – default is :C\Coldfusion
THE NEXT TWO STEPS ARE CRITICAL TO YOUR SUCCESS. Unselect “All IIS Websites” and select the “Configure specific IIS Website or another web server” radio button. Click “Add”, and then select your test Web site (e.g., “test-site”) under “IIS Web Site”. Hit “OK”.
Do NOT use the default directory path for the CF Administrator location (e.g., default path: “C:\inetpub\wwwroot”). Instead, point the installer to your new DEV root Web directory (e.g., “D:\DEV”). The bottom line, you want the installer to place the CFIDE directory and files within this folder, alongside your other CFML files and folders.
Enter an Administrator password.
Choose to Enable RDS, or not. I enable this by preference but it is not required. This allows you to make updates to files using a CFML editor directly vs. having to move/FTP the files over if you’re working remotely. Opponents to this argue that it’s potentially less secure, but for a lower environment I don’t see this as a major concern.
Confirm everything to kick off the install.
If all goes well you should see a message at the end stating that the install was successful. I recommend you uncheck the box that asks you to open the CF Administrator in the default Web browser after the install. NOTE: we will open it a different way during the post-installation tasks. The worst thing that will happen if you forget to uncheck the box is that you might receive an error that the command prompt hung – not a big deal – just close it and move on to the next (final) steps.
POST-INSTALLATION TASKS
Verify CF Installation:
The installation will create a new folder in your program group: Start > Programs > Adobe > Coldfusion 8. The default “Administrator” link will not work because it points to the wrong path: http://127.0.0.1/CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm. The “127.0.0.1” or “localhost” path as you may recall in IIS, points by default to the “C:\inetpub\wwwroot” directory. Our CFIDE files, however, are located within: D:\DEV.
To bring up the CF Administrator logon page, open up a Web browser and replace the “http://127.0.0.1” part of the path with the DNS path name to your CF environment (e.g., http://dev.test-site.com/CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm).
This should bring up the Coldfusion Administrator Login screen. Enter in the Administrator password you created during the install to log in and configure your application server.
Verify that your test-site renders correctly by typing in your test URL into a Web browser (e.g., http://dev.test-site.com).
Fix Application Pool Defaults to Re-enable SBS Web Applications:
At this point, Coldfusion Administrator and your test CMFL Web site should be working properly. The problem is, default SBS Web applications like OWA, RWW and Companyweb will throw errors and fail to start. Fortunately, this is easily remedied by performing the following steps:
In IIS Manager, double-click the server instance in the left-hand pane. Click on “Application Pools” to display the list of server application pools in the center pane.
In the “Actions” pane on the right-hand side, click “Set Application Pool Defaults”.
Change “Enable 32-Bit Applications” - the second item from the top – from “True” to “False” this time. This should re-enable the SBS applications, which would otherwise result in 500 errors (e.g., OWA, RWW, Companyweb, etc.). There is no need to restart IIS.
Open a Web browser and test that you can once again connect to OWA, RWW and Companyweb successfully.
In IIS click to highlight the application pool for your new site (e.g., “test-site”). In the right-hand pane, click “Advanced Settings”. Ensure that “Enable 32-Bit Applications” – second item from the top – is set to “True” for this application pool specifically.
Lastly, jump up and down for joy! Hopefully now, everything is working. Best of luck!! ..Paul D (MCP).

First, it would be a good idea for you to specify what distro of Linux you're using, as not all are supported by Adobe.
Second, this is probably your problem right here:
http://askubuntu.com/questions/40416/why-is-lib-libc-so-6-missing
In a nutshell, CF expects the 32-bit version of libc.so.6 to be in /lib, but it's probably not. You might be able to modify the installer to point to the correct location for that file, or you might be able to create a symlink to the file - but as the above link describes, creating a symlink might have negative consequences.
As for installing CF 8 64-bit, that's only available with Enterprise, not Standard. If you want CF Standard 64-bit, you need to upgrade to CF 9.

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.

How to install windows 7 32 bit virtual machine on windows 7 64 bit

Wondering what would be involved in installing windows 7 32 bit as a virtual machine on a windows 7 64 bit laptop, trying to continue to use software that only has 32 bit drivers to talk to specialized hardware before scrapping the hardware. Drivers
are not updateable due to the company no longer exist. Being forced to do this since I am using windows XP to currently do this and will have to stop using XP by 01Apr2014.
thanks for any help

If it's special hardware, your chances are small for it to work in a
virtual machine. Some USB devices might work, but Virtual PC can't see
the real hardware on the host.

Ok so I downloaded the most current installer CS5.1, My previous installer was version 5.0. It did install fine fully updated to my license version. I just wanted to update in case anyone in the future has a similiar experience. Too bad this advice was not offered by the "experts" here.

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.

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

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.

ITunes will not install on a 64 bit PC Win 7

iTunes will not install on a 64 bit PC running Windows 7 with all updates.
Most answers send you to a "cleaner" of somekind that check for errors in you PC and then wants to charge you to clean it. My PC is CLEAN.
Something is keeping iTunes from installing and running. Tried 64 bit, 32 bit and all help desks.
Same error message "This version is for a 32 bit computer, yours is a 64 bit!" I know that and only install the 64 bit version!!!

Same error message "This version is for a 32 bit computer, yours is a 64 bit!"
Doublechecking ... by any chance did you migrate a 32-bit version of the iTunes, Apple Mobile Device Support and Bonjour programs to the 64-bit machine from a 32-bit machine using the PC Mover utility?

The Microsoft UAA driver for Windows XP 64-bit must be installed before you install the audio codec.
Here is a location for the audio codec.

Oracle 11g install for WinXP 64-bit - is 32-bit client needed?

I just saw that the WinXP 64-bit version of 11g is now available.
Does anyone know if it is necessary to install both the 64-bit Database and 32-bit Client on the same machine for a development server. This was the procedure for 10gR2 as the 64-bit ODBC drivers would not work with 32-bit ODBC apps.
Thanks!

I submitted a TAR/SR on MetaLink...
Yes... you need both.

The Mac SuperDrive built into your Mac is the Optical drive.
1. Insert your Windows DVD in Optical drive. Disconnect any external storage.
2. Insert a USB2 Flash drive. This will be used to hold the BC drivers.
3. Start BCA. Check the options to download software and Install Windows. You do not need to download Windows. The BCA will download the BC drivers to the USB.
4. Partition your drive.
5. You can see the Windows installer screens at https://help.apple.com/bootcamp/mac/5.0/help/#/bcmp173b3bf2.

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.

I'm installing windows 7 64-bit on my imac which I've done before but I get a message that the partition is GPT even after I format the bootcamp partition. I just upgraded my hard drive to a 3tb and I'm allocating 1tb for windows. How can I fix this?

No easy fix for a few reasons:
1) Bootcamp requires a hybrid MBR for the partition table. That is: both an MBR and a GPT partition table at the same time with the GPT one having all partitions and the MBR one having only the ones that are relevant, but at most 4 of them (including the protective partition and the Macintosh HD one). Which leads us to:
2) The MBR part of the hybrid partition table cannot work with 3TB hard drives. MBR is limited to 2TB.
I am working on a small EFI app that can boot Windows in EFI mode on a Mac and that would mean that you can go GPT only on your system. The progress of the app is slow due to the nature of EFI and for now requires that you do an unattended Windows install with slipstreamed graphics drivers, but we are adding VGA loading on top of EFI quite soon after the rest of the app stabilises. The status of the app is documented at:
Win7 x64 booting natively via EFI (no bios emulation)
Windows does actually successfully boot in EFI mode on most Macs (anything with a 64bit EFI should work), but does not have graphics support even if you load the driver due to the VGA pci registers not being set by the firmware. Furthermore, in Setup and Safe Mode, Windows uses VGA instead of GOP which is a failure by design since VGA is a BIOS standard and not really compatible without hacks with EFI. Other EFI implementations also add VGA compatibility at a high cost to the firmware complexity for the VGA cards available on the market that don't actually contain anything in their ROM except the VGA BIOS.
My recomendations:
1) Install on a second smaller hard-drive; or
2) Wait for the EFI app to come out officially and use that to boot Windows Vista SP1 x64 and Windows 7 x64 (RTM and SP1) in the native EFI mode.
3) Wait for Windows 8 which supports VGA-less booting acording to the AMD presentation at UEFI Plugfest.
