I tried to use the Rails Installer to get a ruby on rails environment on my Windows 7 64bit today and the .exe won't run because it's made for 32bit instead of 64bit.
Update When I try to start the installer, this message pops up:
Here is the translation:
This version of the file is not compatible with the running version of Windows.
Open the system information of the computer to check if a x86 (32bit) or x64
(64bit) version of this application is neccessary and contact the software vendor.
Is there a 64bit alternative for the installer?
64bits Windows can run 32bits applications, that is what WOW64 layer provides (Windows on Windows)
However, there are specific things you can't perform, like accessing OLE or using 64bits DLLs from 32bits applications or viceversa.
If the issue you're having is connect to a MySQL installation (something you're not mentioning) you should take a look to this blog article:

Hope that helps.

After repairing a crashed MS Office 2019 I did not manage to reinstall the correct MS-Access database driver for my ADO Connnections on a X64 Win11 system.
I tried to install alternatively the database engines 2010 and 2016, but neither of them was shown.
Does anyone have a hint?

Solution:
Download 32-bit Driver
From command-line: Driver.exe /passive

Here a longer description of the way to a solution:
My skills are just scratching the surface, I'm afraid. What I know: The IDE of Delphi 10.4 is 32-bit und doesn't work with the 64-bit database engine of Microsoft.
The complete process for getting a working system has been:
Download both (32-bit and 64-bit) drivers
First install the 64-bit driver (not shown in IDE)
Then install from command-line 32-bit driver: accessdatabaseengine.exe /passive
Trying to install a 32-bit driver on a 64-bit Win11-system will raise an error, while not having installed the 64-bit driver first.
Maybe somebody is able to explain this in more depth. I am not…

Can anyone use the open source files to code a 64bit version of the LuaCOM.DLL
I have the 32bit X86 version which worked just fine until the software developers for another application changed to a 64bit Lua, now the Link is broken
So I have Delphi XE (no number) and I have a project that was built on another machine (using JVCL components). Now, my machine is a Windows 8.1 (64 bits), and the previous machine was Windows XP (32 bits).
Of course I want to be able to continue developing the app, but for that I need the JCL/JVCL to be installed here too.
Now comes my problem. When I run the installer (bat) of JCL, it starts ok, but it does not show any options, so when I click the Install button nothing happens, and I get a message saying the installation finished. But of course nothing is installed.
This is how the installer looks on my x64 machine:
What can I do to install this JCL on a win64 machine? I am very sure that this is the problem: the OS. Because on 32bit OS (Windows XP) I have no problem installing it.
I looked it up, but could not find a straightforward solution. There might be a problem with some registry where the installer looks for the location of Delphi ?!?! but I have no idea how to fix it.
I need to install the JVCL, but it wont install unless I have JCL installed first... and the JCL does not install
Please help me.
Thank you
I have downloaded the latest version 6.1.1 from the windows installer for 32bit. I have a problem with the installation. The installer checks for software requierements are fulfilled. Out of 4 programs it installs i.e. msys, java, postgre and CsvnEdge, csvnEdge is marked as not installed. Tough in system i can see it is installed. If I cancel the setup and start again, it fails again to find CsvnEdge.

I'm trying to install the BlackBerry tablet SDK 0.9.0 for Windows but the installer gives the following error:
Win64 not supported.
The author of the package you are installing did not include support for this platform
Is there a way to trick the installer to think I have a 32-bit OS instead of a 64-bit one?
Ok, this works for Windows 7 x64.
Install a java vm for "Windows" (aka the 32bit version from Oracle)
Reboot after install
Unzip the BlackBerryTabletSDK-Air-Installer-0.9.0-Win.exe installer file (I used 7zip)
Navigate to this file:
BlackBerryTabletSDK-Air-Installer-0.9.0-Win\Windows\BlackBerryTabletSDK-Air-Installer-0.9.0.201010221500.lax
Locate this property:
lax.nl.current.vm=
Set it to the location where you installed the 32 bit jvm (for me):
lax.nl.current.vm=C:/Program Files (x86)/Java/jdk1.6.0_22/bin/java.exe
Save the file
Double click the BlackBerryTabletSDK-Air-Installer-0.9.0.201010221500.exe 6.
