Cannot install Warrior in a x64 environment

Why can I not install Warrior on my x64 Windows OS??  I have MANY other programs that are 32-bit and ALL of them work fine in this environment.  Please explain.  Thank you.

Our device drivers have not been ported to 64 bit.  If you have 32bit applications that don't use device drivers, then you may be able to run them on your 64bit machine.

Thank you for your timely reply.

Aha!  That's makes perfect sense.  Thank you.  So now, what roll can I play in the porting of the device drivers to x64 if any?

CPlus

Ok, I've realized:     

*The only time we want to use Warrior in a x64 environment is during .db processing, NOT ACQUISITION.
and..
*Processing .db files in a 32bit environment does not require Warrior hardware present [except dongle].

So, it seems that the Warrior applications we wish to use in a x64 environment DO NOT USE DEVICE DRIVERS.

If we don't need x64 Warrior device drivers, are we any closer now to processing .db files in a x64 environment?

How soon will you be able to install Warrior 7.0 on a 64 bit XP Professional OS?

Was hoping to get an answer

OzX, I'm sorry I read your question as if it was from kmilch asking when I would be ready to install..  I was replying that I was ready to try and install anytime.  Sorry for the miscommunication.

Also, I would STILL love to see a package that will install on x64.  I don't need drivers or to interface with any warrior hardware from x64 environment, only the processing apps need to install.  Win7 x64 runs every other 32bit app that I need so I hope we will see a proper release someday. 

Thank you,

Santiago

So I hear a 64 bit compatible release is rolling out in the next few weeks.  I'm very excited; welcome to the x64 party! ;D  This will iron out a lot of wrinkles for me.    :D
