Will WinHelp run on a 64-bit Windows 7 machine?

We have a client who cannot run our WinHelp products on a 64-bit Windows 7 system.  The Microsoft Knowledgebase article provides the WinHlp32 engine download but there no mention of whether this same engine will work on a 64-bit W7 system.
Does anyone have any experience of this?
As a footnote, we have another client who successfully runs the winhelp engine on a 64-bit XP system

Hi there
I just tested a WinHelp file and it popped right open on my Windows 7 64 bit PC. Now it may have been an older 16 bit WinHelp file, but it worked. I think a 32 bit WinHelp file would be treated the same way Vista treated them. It would prompt for a download of the 32 bit WinHelp engine.
Cheers... Rick

  • Can FMLE run on a 64 bit Windows 7 machine?

    I run it now on my Windows 7 32 bit machine but was getting ready to buy a new computer and wanted to get a 64 bit Windows 7 machine. Will FMLE run on a 64 bit Windows OS?

    Yes, we currently run it on a Dell Precision Rackmounted 64 Bit system and capabilities are fine.

  • Got exception when running CrystalReportViewer on 64 bit Windows 2008

    We have a client/server app built with c#, .NET2, CR2008 .net runtime SP2, and VS2008. The smart client hosts a CrystalReportViewer, which consumes the ServerFileReportService.
    The client on XP, 2003, Vista, and 32 bit Windows 2008 works fine with 32 bit Windows 2008/2003 server. But the client on 64 bit Windows 2008 throws the following exception,

    Hi Jonathan,
    Currently the .NET solution contains over 70 assemblies, and only one assembly has reference to CR2008 .Net runtime SP2.  All the 70 projects for each assemblies are compiled with Platform Target set to Any CPU.  We build an installer with InstallShield, which deploys the runtime by CRRuntime_12_2_mlb.msi.
    If we resolve all the parameters, and donu2019t prompt user for the parameters, then the same report runs fine on 64-bit Window 2008. Otherwise we always get the error on prompting parameters.
    We resolved the issue by recompiling the exe with Platform Target set to (x86). And all the 70 assemblies are still compiled with Any CPU.
    Regards,
    Frank

  • Can't get Speech.X32 to access SAPI 5.4 on a 64-bit Windows 7 machine.

    I can't seem to get the Speech.X32 to work in a Director 10.1 projector or in Shockwave on a 64-bit Windows 7 machine. It works fine on XP and Windows 7 32 bit, but not on Windows 7 64 bit. I placed the following script in first frame of movie. On all machines it says it is available.
    on beginsprite
        if voiceInitialize() then 
    alert "Text-to-speech is available"
        else
            alert "Text-to-speech is not available"
        end if
    end
    However, I imagine this is just referring to the Xtra, not to the Microsoft SAPI. I can go into the accessibility features of the Windows 7 64-bit machine and use the voice. It just won't work in my projector or shockwavae movies. I have seen a number of discussions from gamers about loosing access to the voice option on Windows 7 64 bit machines. But none seemed to offer any solution. Any ideas?

  • I have the lastest (10.7) I tunes software running on a 64 bit windows 7 system. Today it stopped running all of the tv shows I have downloaded. The error message says that a "problem has stopped i tunes from working and windows is shutting it down" ?

    i have the latest (10.7) itunes installed on a 64 bit Windows 7 based system. Up unitil today I had NO  problem running the TV shows that I have downloaded from I Tunes.
    Today it stopped running all videos. It loads the information in the top box about length & name. An error message pops saying "an error has caused I tunes to stop working". "Windows will check for a solution and notify if therer is a solution."
    Music plays fine so i know that something works on itunes.
    Any ideas?

  • Does anyone know of anyway to run adobe on 64 Bit Windows???

    I just got a new computer in and when I went to install adobe (illustrator and indesign), it didn't work. So I called customer service. They told me that nor cs3 or cs4 products run on 64 Bit and if they do it will not be properly... Does anyone have a solution other than changing to 32 Bit Windows? This has cut productivity enormously, I really need to solve this A.S.A.P. Thank you.

  • Will photos created on a 32 bit Windows Vista Home Premium be readable on a Windows 7 64 bit system?

    I have around 25,000 photos in jpeg and tiff and in version sets plus some slide shows and blurb books created in the 32 bit system of Windows Vista Home Premium with PSE 10.0 and Premier and have to change to a 64 bit  Windows 7  system since Adobe is discontinuing the Photoshop Elements programs in early April of 2013. Will these photos created in 32 bit be readable and editable in the 64 bit system?

    Yes. PSE works on both 32bit and 64 bit systems.
    PSE is not being discontinued. The on-line service at Photoshop.com is simply moving to Adobe Revel.

  • Will CS2 and CS3 install on a Windows 8 machine?

    I use a combination of CS2 and CS3 software and will need to get a new machine soon. I see below that someone got DW MX2004 to install on a Windows 7 machine. Is it possible that CS2 and CS3 will install on a Windows 8 machine?

    Hi Paevo,
    Try installing in the compatibility mode.

  • DOWNLOADED  a copy of Lightroom 6 as free software with my camera but it will not run on my 32 bit machine,windows vista and ther are no download option availble for Adobe.

    How do I get someone from adobe to interact with me on this problem. So far Contact links have not lead to Adobe support person.

    Adobe has been posting a warning about system requirements for Lightroom [6] a while ago. This is from that message:
    'In order to leverage the latest operating system features and technologies, Lightroom 6 will require Mac OS X 10.8 or above, or a 64 bit version of Windows 7, 8 or 8.1. Focusing our work on more modern operating systems and architectures allows us to spend more time adding functionality requested by users, including additional advanced imaging features and improving general application performance.'
    So the only way to work with Lightroom [6] is to upgrade your operating system from 32 to a 64 bit version, like Windows 7 or 8.1
    A 32 bit version also will not be available. Another choice is to use Lightroom [5] in stead.

  • SSIS 2005 not running after upgrading (32 bit, Windows XP to 64 bit Windows 7)

    I really need some help. Recently I went from using Visual Studio and SQL 2005 on a laptop (32bit system - Windows XP) to a desktop unit 64bit processor with Windows 7). SSIS on the laptop worked just fine and I could execute and open packages in SSIS; however,
    my new desktop unit will not even allow me to open a new package or run an existing package. As soon as I attempt to create a new SSIS project, I receive the following error: "An error prevented the view from loading. The specified module could not be
    found. (Exception from HResult:0x8007007E)(System Windows Forms).
    SSIS won't allow me to view the control flow or data flow screens and if I attempt to run an existing package created with the SSIS wizard I receive the following error: SSIS package "Package1.dtsx" starting.

    I have tried changing the properties in the package to run in 32-bit mode; however, this does not work. I can run queries and import data in SQL Server Management Studios just fine, as well as run queries and reports in Visual Studios; however, I can't execute
    or create any package in Visual Studio with the new machine. Am I missing a needed system file in the new sysWOW64 folder? The IT person who installed the software isn't familiar with the program and doesn't know how to fix it either. I'm relatively new with
    using SSIS and really need some help on how to get this fixed. Any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated.

    If the Development Studio environment does not even open then it is probably an installation issue. Possibly a DLL did not register properly. Could you take a look at the following forums where a similar issue is being discussed? You can also look for more
    responses by searching for "0x8007007e visual studio on windows 7" in your search engine.

  • ITunes latest up-date will not run on Vista 64 bit system

    Downloaded and installed latest iTunes version Friday 21/1/14 but program would not run. Error message 'MSVCR80.Dll is missing. Repeat download.' Repeated downloads give the same message. Tried to uninstall and reload my original iTunes download from 2011 but that now gives the same error message. I'm running 64 bit Vista. Does anyone have a suggestion???

  • Will Fireworks 8 work on 64-bit Windows 7 ?

    Was thinking of getting a new laptop that uses 64-bit Win 7
    Would Fireworks 8 still work on such a machine?
    The MS site says to get a FW upgrade but wasn't sure if this would be needed:
    http://www.microsoft.com/windows/compatibility/windows-vista/Details.aspx?type=Software&p= Adobe%20Fireworks&v=Adobe&uid=8&pf=0&pi=1&s=Adobe%20Fireworks&os=32-bit
    Thanks

    How do you enable compatibility mode in W7 ?
    Any cautions even if FW8 seems to work okay?
    Many thanks :-)
    If it's like Vista (probably) find the program file Fireworks.exe (usually somewhere under C:\Program Files). Right-click on it and select Properties. There should be a Compatibility tab. First try checking the box "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" and select "Windows XP (Service Pack2)." Try launching your FW 8. If it doesn't work, go back to the compatibility settings and first try checking "Disable desktop composition."

    If FW8 seems to work okay...then it probably is. Make sure you can create and save a file, close FW, reopen FW and then open your file for editing.

  • Elements 12 will not run. I am using windows 7, all updates have been made. When I try to open it up, it loads at first, then closes, and will not open up again. I need help with this, as I have not found a single answer in this forum that works.

    As stated, I just downloaded elements 12. Every time i open it up, it gets to the organizer home screen, then shuts down. After this, it will not reopen. I have made all the updates to my windows 7, and I have searched this forum and have yet to find an proper solution to this issue, and by the looks I am not the only person with this issue. Anyone's help would be greatly appreciated.

    My post has been viewed 24 times, and yet have had no answers. I have always like adobe products, however if this is the type of support they offer, I will never purchase another product of theirs. The issue I am having is the same issue many others have had, and yet no answer. Poor customer service!

  • Can Windows 32 bit photoshop run on a 64 bit windows 7?

    I have had Photoshop since 1996. V4.0, and then the pricey upgrades 5.0, 6.01. The proggy is fine for the work that I do. However my 32 bit computer has finally reached the end of it's life. Im hoping that I can somehow run this program. Please advise.  Thanks!

    Could be that it works using compatibility modes for Win XP - assuming the installer even works or you can get it to work by copying over your files and manually adding the registration info.
