What/Where is the 32-bit version of Windows System Image Manager?

I'm running into the problem described as follows in the WAIK documentation: "Windows SIM fails to create a catalog for a 32-bit Windows image from a 64-bit version of Windows SIM. To workaround this issue, use the 32-bit version of Windows SIM to
create catalogs for your Windows images."
Question: Where is the 32-bit version of Windows SIM? I can only find a single download for "The Windows® Automated Installation Kit (AIK) for Windows® 7"
Or are the 32-bit tools included in that version? If so, how do I use those instead?

Hi,
The issue should occurs when you install the WAIK on a 64bit Windows 7 machine.
You need install WAIK on a 32bit machine.
Different binary versions of Windows SIM cannot create catalog files for some Windows images of different architecture types. We recommend using the
32-bit version of Windows SIM to create catalog files because this version can create catalogs for all Windows image architecture types. The following list describes the Windows SIM architecture types and catalogs that can be created for each Windows
image architecture type.
x86 Image Manager. Can
create catalogs for x86, x64, and Itanium-based Windows images.
x64 Image Manager. Can
create catalogs only for x64 Windows images.
Itanium-based Image Manager.
Can create catalogs only for Itanium-based Windows images.

With Boot Camp, should I install the 64 bit version of Windows 7 (Home Premium edition) OR the 32 bit version when installing onto an early 2008 Mac Pro operating OSX Lion with a 1 TByte internal HDD?

With an early 2008 Mac Pro I'm about to add a second internal drive (1 TByte SATA) and initially install OSX Lion onto the new drive. Then to partition this new HDD via Boot camp. But my question is whether I am best advised to purchase the 64 bit version of Windows 7 (Home Premium) or the 32 bit version of Windows 7 (Home Premium) for the Windows sector of the disk What are the differences, and will I notice a difference in performance?

In chart from wiki, (scroll down to "Comparison chart") check the maximum CPUs supported.
You don't see this on MSoft's 1st searched for chart hit. This is one reason you will regret not paying for Professional+ if you get Home Premium 64 as I did for Mac Pro early 2008.
Home Prem Task Mgr sees 4 processors vs. the 8 that are seen by Pro+.
Costs more than a Mac upgrade to Lion if you make that mistake.

Why is there no Boot Camp support for the 64-bit version of Windows 7 on the 64-bit iMac that I'm using?

The early 2008 24" iMac 8,1 has a 2.8 ghz E8235 Intel Core 2 Duo processor with a data width of 64-bits.
I am straining badly to understand why Apple is only providing drivers for the 32-bit version of Windows 7 for the 64-bit hardware that I want to install it on.

The 64 bit drivers are there, but there have been some installation
issues depending on Windows OS and Apple hardware. You may
want to post on the Bootcamp forum to get more direct response to
your issue.
FWIW, at one point, I forget when, I found I needed to manually
open the 64 bit versions of the drivers to install them that were created
on the bootcamp driver install disk (image). As I recall the was a
64 bit .msi "global" installer but even at that there was an individual
one that needed to be manually installed.
Its been a while since I last did this since I have been doing everything
in Windows virtual machines with Parallels.

Bootcamp 3.0 and the 64-bit version of Windows 7 ?

Does Bootcamp 3.0 support the 64-bit version of Windows 7 ?
Sorry for my bad English

It has nothing to do with SL or Boot Camp 3.0, but is based on the EFI firmware used in the iMac not being 64-bit (EFI64; also part of Unified EFI 2.x).
If your Mac is listed as one that can boot Snow Leopard in 64-bit kernel mode (using '6' and '4' keys on startup, and 64-bit drivers and extensions).
The only way to add Windows 7 64-bit is through firmware, and that isn't going to happen.

Why has the Tecra M11-11M only got the 32-bit version of Windows 7?

Why has the Tecra M11-11M only got the 32-bit version of windows 7 and not the 64-bit?
Surely the i7 and 4gb can cope with the demands and the 64-bit version would allow more efficient use of the computing power.
Many thanks,

Good question but Im afraid only Toshiba marketing division has right answer to your question.
I just presume they create own decision based on market research.
You can try to install own 64bit version if the drivers, tools and utilities are available.

Data Quality Services Installer script - Where is the 64 bit version

Hi.
I have Microsoft SQL Server 2012 - 11.0.2218.0 Enterprise Edition on Windows NT 6.1 <X64> (Build 7601: Service Pack 1) (WOW64) installed on my laptop. The Data Quality Services feature has been installed. When I try and run the DQS client it says I
must run the DQS installer script. I therefore run the Data Quality Server Installer, which is the other option in the DQS menu, and it errors saying 'You are running 32-bit version of DQS installer on 64-bit OS'. I've looked for the 64-bit version but I can't
find it. Any ideas where I can get it from?
Thanks in advance for any help.

iTunes 64bit version for Windows is somewhere in the future. Nice to see Apple is obviously doing something to remedy the issue.

Where are the 64-bit versions of Java?

I tried to download the 64-bit version of JDK 5 off this site - but didn't find it. I've heard of 64-bit versions - where are they? I want a 16G heap, and the 32-bit version limits me to 1640M.

> you click on Java SE from the first page,
instead of clicking on any of the links offering
downloads, you must click on "Supported System
Configurations".
Not so. For example, click on the "download" button
next to "JDK 5.0 Update 9". Scroll down.
Linux x64 Platform - J2SE(TM) Development Kit 5.0
Update 9
That's just an example.
~It's also not the only example. By going to java.sun.com -> downloads -> Java SE -> JDK 5 Update 9 there's also 64 bit versions for Solaris and Windows.

How to use Internet Explorer 11 64 bits rather than the 32 bit version, on Windows 7 familial premium 64 bit

Hi,
my system : up to date computer, W7 familial premium (64 bit), Internet Explorer 11 (32 bit)
I use this computer on the web to visit just one website, always the same and several hours a day ; this site advocate the use of Internet Explorer 64 bits for more efficiency.
How can I get to install, or switch to the 64 bit version of Internet Explorer, as presently when I try to install a downloaded version, I get as an answer something like "installation not possible because the more up to date version of Internet Explorer
is already installed on your computer". Thanks

Hi,
On a 64-bit version of Windows, please click system drive, there should be a “Program Files” and “program Files x86”,
the "Program Files" folder is for 64-bit programs and the "Program Files (x86)" folder is for 32-bit programs, you will find IE11 64 bit has already installed in you system in “Program Files”>”Internet explorer”.

Can I run the 64 bit version of Mountain Lion and the 32 bit version of windows 7 using parallels on the same computer

Where is the 64-bit version?

It is a bit silly that there still doesn't seem to be a 64-bit version of Skype available for Linux. Do they even produce 32-bit hardware nowadays and are Windows only running 32-bit? What ever the reason - I do not care. I just want my install to be simple, stable and consistent. For my part that means that no other installed software on my computer demands 32-bit libraries. I KNOW how to move over to multiarch, but that is just a plain stupid move to do and even suggest that will show your lack of knowledge.

I am facing the same problem....Skype for rhel 6.5 for 64 bit is not working...how could the support team remain silent..I have asked the same questions as you have mentioned accordingly many days back but still support time seems to be silent

Where is the 64 bit version of Premiere Elements?

I bought a teachers version of Premiere elements and Photoshop elements. I tried to download it to my 64 bit computer. At no time during the download did there appear to be a choice of a 32 or 64 bit version. Something downloaded but it won't install (?) because my computer is the wrong bit size? Now when I go back to the serial number page, it says I have an invalid number. I am not an IT person and I need someone to walk me through this.

if you follow all 7 steps you can directly download a trial here: Adobe Photoshop Elements 13 Direct Download Links, Premiere too | ProDesignTools
and activate with your serial number.
if you have a problem starting the download, you didn't follow all 7 steps, or your browser does not accept cookies.
the most common problem is caused by failing to meticulously follow steps 1,2 and/or 3 (which adds a cookie to your system enabling you to download the correct version from adobe.com).
failure to obtain that cookie results in an error page being displayed after clicking a link on prodesigntools.com or initiates the download of an incorrect (eg, current) version.

Can I install the 64-bit version of Windows 7?

My computer >
17-inch MacBook Pro, Mid 2009
Processor: 3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Memory: 8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
I have ordered Windows 7 so I can install the operating system using Boot Camp. Now that I've ordered it, I am wondering if it will even work. I looked at my order and it says 64-bit. WIll this work on my computer, or do I need to order another operating system? Thanks!
Thanks

From the Boot Camp system requirements page located here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5634. Look for your computer model and year and you will find the following which indicates Windows 7 64 bit is supported with version 4 of the support software.

PSC 500 - Prints fine, but the scanner is not detected on the 64-bit version of Windows 7

Last week I decided to update my computer to Windows 7 x64 since my computer crashed. (It was pure dumb luck that I backed up my computer the night before.) Anyway, soon after I was done, I tried to install my HP PSC 500 (C6680A) and I was happy that It worked, however I soon realized that it lost it's ability to scan. I am not talking about the scan button that according to HP no longer works; I am talking about actual ability to scan from the computer.
Because my computer is telling me that I do not have a scanner connected and hp scanner drivers are missing from the list in the "Scanner and Camera Installation Wizard" and the printer is already installed, I believe I need a driver in order for my scanner to work.
If someone could post a 64bit driver (*.inf) for xp or vista, I can try to see if it will work it will work. (I don't think a 32bit won't work, but I don't know for sure.)

Sigh, I can't even make my HP PCS 500 print. I looked around for the deskjet 500 driver that HP says to use for Windows Vista 64-ultimate.
There's a 450 440c and a 5100 but 500 went poof. If you'd interally email me the link or post here.
Go to the printers folder, Add Printer, Local printer, LPT1, then when the selection comes up click on "Windows Update". This will load the updated list of available drivers. Be patient, it can take a few minutes. Once the list is updated you will find the HP PSC 500 listed under HP (not Hewlett-Packard) in the printers list. You can then cancel the isntallation and just plug in the USB cable to have the plug-n-play automatically install.

There is no version of iTunes that truly supports the 64-bit version of Windows XP and never will be. If you search this forum for "XP 64" or do a web search for something like "iTunes Windows XP 64", you'll find threads describing the process some people have used to "crowbar" iTunes onto XP 64, with varying levels of success, none of them complete.
