I need run a 16bits application on a windows 64bits without virtualization or XP mode.
Do you have a solution ?
My application have an user interface and she need to print and to access the disk.
It's a old monster, we don't have the source code (Delphi) and it's very specific (made on demand).
I think about a sort of encapsulation or a "translator" between the OS and the binary.
An idea ?
I need run a 16 bit application on a Windows 64 bit system without virtualization.
That is not possible. The only way to run this application on such a system is via a virtualized environment of one form or another.
You wonder about some form of translator or adapter, but that is of course exactly what virtualization is. A 64 bit system cannot run a 16 bit process natively, ergo you need a virtualized environment in order to run it.

I am using oracle VirtualBox, my host is ubuntu 16 LTS and my machine is windows 7 ultimate 64bit. I'm trying to add some storage to my machine, but I couldn't find a way to expand the vdi file I currently use, so i tried to add another one, but the machine doesn't seems to recognize it.
Any suggestions?
It's not clear what you did to add a vdi file (a "disk") to your vm, nor what you did that you didn't see it where you expected. Adding a new vdi is the virtual equivilent of plugging in a new, unpartitioned, unformatted hard drive. In your Win7 vm, open control panel > admin tools > computer management > disk management. You should see a new disk waiting to be partitioned and formatted.

I've been doing iOS dev work for a year or two now, along with some Xamarin work on Windows and I'm looking for an ultimate dev configuration that allows me to get rid of my two machines and just use a Macbook with Parallels. However, I have a few questions that are still unanswered:
1) Use a real keyboard/mouse (I find working on Mac keyboard/mouse not quite as productive)
2) Have a Thunderbolt Ethernet connection (our wifi is not always the best)
3) Have an output to two additional monitors, which could show both Windows OS, both Mac OS, or one of each.
Is this too much to ask? Anyone else have this configuration? If so is there anything I should be aware of?
Thanks in advance for your advice.

This is a question that is probably better suited to the Xamarin Forums. However, the set up you describe is one of the arrangements I use myself. The only difference is that I use a Mac keyboard. You should be able to use a PC keyboard perfectly fine but you may choose to remap some keys in the Mac preferences.
The only thing I can think of to be aware of is that while you can use nested virtualisation to run an emulator inside the Windows VM it will be significantly slower than running it on your Mac natively. As such, if you intend to code for Android, I would suggest running the AVDs on your Mac and connecting to them remotely from Windows.

Is there any way to know current battery level of connected iOS device from command line.
Thanks in advance..
Check out libimobiledevice.
It is mainly targeted for linux systems but you can get it to compile for OS X as well if you want to although it is a bit complicated.
I am also in the process of writing an Objective C wrapper around the libraries and you can find some more info here: https://github.com/liamnichols/CocoaMobileDevice but be warned, its a WIP atm. I'm not even sure if it will run on other machines as there might be some hardcoded dependancies that need fixing.

When i compile a new project in Delphi 7 IDE , then i scan using http://www.virustotal.com my Delphi Project identifies it's ivected 8 Virus:
I reinstall my Windows OS and check my PC Hardisk using Dual Boot Linux Ubuntu but i can't find virus on my PC.
Please help me :'(
I checked on the name of one of the reported viruses in your screen shot and came up with this description from McAfee:
This software is not a virus or a Trojan. It is detected as a "potentially unwanted program"
(PUP). PUPs are any piece of software that a reasonably security- or privacy-minded computer
user may want to be informed of and, in some cases, remove. PUPs are often made by a
legitimate corporate entity for some beneficial purpose, but they alter the security state
of the computer on which they are installed, or the privacy posture of the user of the
system, such that most users will want to be aware of them.
It lists aliases for this from other virus detectors, and the list includes "PUA.Win32.Packer.BorlandDelphi" from clamav. I think that may be the answer. Are you compressing your exe? Regardless, this has to do with some characteristic of the Delphi-generated EXE file and not an actual virus or trojan.
Is your program using the Indy library? Some virus scanners had signatures including Indy code because there were Trojans that used it.
I see two possibilities:
This is a false positive. Your program is doing something that looks like virus behaviour. Only you can tell what your program does.
This is a re-infection of the executable you just compiled.
If you have anti-virus software on your computer and other executables are clean, it must be case 1.
What surprises me is why you would upload your program to Virustotal. What's the reason for that? Did something happen that you have not told us?

I would like to understand why programs do not work on 16bit computers with x64 operating system installed on it..
What happens on the question 'Assembly' of the computer?
I mean, talking in assembly language, that does not work, as the processor understands this?
The reason why this is no longer possible is, because in the 64 bit long mode, the CPU doesn't support v86 and real mode, only protected mode code. In order to support this, MS would have to implement an emulator in Windows and there are already several good ones available. So they decided to drop support for this after XP.
