Hey guys, I need some help from the experts here (hopefully I put this in the right area if not Mods please move).

I am trying to install my copy of NISSAN FAST on my new laptop but I can't get it to run. I have WIN7 Pro 64bit and the program seems to be having issues running. I can't setup the CD's. The actual software will load but when I try to open it it says no CD and when I try to run the cd setup part of FAST it throws a 64bit 32bit error of some sort.

I tried running in compatibility mode and that did nothing, ran as admin and re ran install as admin and none of this works. Will this work in 64bit Windows or not? I have searched here and on google for a while and the only info I found was a guy said it will run in compat mode on 64bit 7 by moving a file but he doesn't say which one.

I am thinking I will just dual boot XP or run it on my NIStune laptop but would really like to get it running on my new machine.

Any help from anyone running this on 7 64bit would be appreciated :wub:

Just use XPMode in Win7, It'll work then.

Not 64bit

Win 7 32bit is no probs.... no need for an XP Mode, just run it. As far as I know FAST is not compatible with 64bit OS's yet... well at least the 4 different versions I have tried.

Nope won't work. I found out today, Windows 7 64bit has got no support for 16bit apps (dropped it as of XP) and even though it is a 32bit app it still has a some legacy 16bit files or some BS. As a result of this it won't run in 64bit or in compatibility mode :whistling:

Looks like the only way to do this now is to run a virtual machine or just install it on my XP NIStune lappy. Unless someone actually has it running on 64bit. Oh well thanks for trying to help guys. Thread can prob be closed now :whistling:

Thats what i mean.

I'm 95% certain 64bit Win7, just setup XPMode, which is a XP virtual machine within Win7, and off you go.

That is correct. Windows XPMode is 32 bit in Windows 7 in both 64 and 32 bit editions.

But if you are still having issues - run it completely in a virtual machine - it will also allow portability of the app - just copy the VM image.

At least that confirms what I was thought was right, and the whole purpose behind "XPMode" :whistling:

The image is only around 1.1 - 1.5gb as well if memory serves me correct.

So not big at all for what you get.

I'd say more towards 2GB because of Windows XP SP3 being integrated with it.

Still portable considering most USB sticks are 4GB+......
