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:

Yeah i created a 32bit XP virtual machine so i could install FAST and its works perfectly there.

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+......

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
