Re: You wanna talk about POed...

Hi Joe,

I forwarded your note to a few folks, and I got this reply back:
IM should work on 64 bit machine as long as it is running the 32-bit mode.

Not sure if that will help - but thought I would forward the information
along....

What a waste of an afternoon.  I've spent several hours trying to install
WDSC 7 on my development machine here.  I've tried everything.  And then,
just for the fun of it, I tried to install on my game machine.  And guess
what?  It works fine there.  Just not on my work machine.

Some more digging and it seems as though the Installation Manager isn't
compatible with Windows Server 2003 X64.  ARGH!  I get a "Widget disposed
too early!" error which as far as I can tell indicates that the SWT

bundled

with the system doesn't work on X64.

I'd love to be proven wrong, but as far as I can tell, Windows Server

2003

x64 is not supported.  ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGH.

And in case you're wondering, the documents say Windows Server 2003
Enterprise Edition is supported, with no wording one way or the other

about

32-bit vs. 64-bit.  Not only that, but the software actually does a check

of

the OS prior to installing, so if X64 wasn't supported, that would have

been

a good time to let me know.

Chalk up another Saturday down the tubes...
