RE: Running VisualAge RPG applications on a Windows XP 64 bit OS

A VM would do the job. Windows 7 allows you to create a 32 bit VM using the
same license as I understand it (you should check your OS and licensing
options of course)

I did this to get round a printer driver problem where a USB printer driver
only ran in 32 bit. A little ugly but works just fine.

This problem was discussed last year on a public list or forum. I don't
remember which. There don't appear to be many options. Keep running
Windows XP. Work out a replacement strategy. I'd suggest migrating the
application to a browser UI.

IBM Support told me that it is not possible to run VisualAge RPG
projects on a Windows XP 64 bit OS. Has anyone else run into this
problem and have come up with a workaround?

TIA,
