Hey guys i've built a server for someone and the program they use will only run on a 32-bit operating system... can i just install the 32-bit and transfer the icons without wiping out the whole server?

That is very weird. If it is a driver, you may need to mess around with WOW64, or some dll that it needs registered.

Why not just run that program with compatibility program?

 

[MiniTuckin]

if you try and install it, it just keeps saying it will not support 64-bit... i've tried running it in every version of windows

What program is it?

 

[MiniTuckin]

something called CCC... its used in a body shop to create estimates and such. I've never heard of it and dont have any clue how to use it.

 

[MiniTuckin]

CCC Pathways to be exact... just install 32-bit and make the computer run in that and call it a day? Getting this server setup was a pita

 

[MiniTuckin]

Also how would i go about partitioning off a small part of my current hard drive to install 32-bit. I dont wanna format it all and lose my information thats already on there

Pathways is a VERY embedded System. Proceed with caution, because if you are dealing with an existing system, and you make one wrong move, you can crash their entire customer database with the push of a few buttons.

 

[Hummer2008]

Also does not like WINDOWS VISTA OR 7

I have 10+ years in dealing with Pathways, as I am an I.T. at the Bodyshop I work for. If you still need some help with this I would be glad to help.

Probably not, ideally you'll want 2 harddrives... if not, maybe copy everything you want to keep onto an external drive then install 32 bit then reinstall applications, then copy the data back on.
