Re: WSDC on Windows 7

I don't see any reference to 64 bit OS's on the RDi 7.5 CD documentation. Every reference specifically points to 32 bit for Windows and JRE.

Always hard to surmise from one OS version to another. RDi runs fine on W7 (32bit). I would be surprised if 64 bit was supported for WDSc but not for RDi. The other way around maybe (in this case NOT) but usually each version adds better OS support rather than curtailing it.
(Just for new comers :)

The problem here is the GUI-layer in Eclipse which is written as native binaries and not Java (a very early design decision), and the version of Eclipse which WSDCi was created with did not have a Windows 64-bit version of the GUI-layer. In any way you still need the GUI-layer if you want to run on any particular platform, and if IBM did only create a 32-bit release then it will not run in 64-bit mode (but perhaps a 32-bit compatability layer, I don't know).
