32-bit vs 64-bit ACA

[sherflor]

I bought a new pc, 64-bit. However I have a 32-bit ACA 2008 and it is not compatiable. is there some way I can install this on my new pc?

I thought the newer versions had an install option for either 32 or 64 bit. Might want to talk to your reseller if you have one.

See this thread. Ignore the Win7 part, just see the x64 part. (Vanilla) A2008-32 bit would not install on a 64 bit system. A2009/A2010 detect 32/64 bit and install accordingly.

on this thread it says, "this involves a risk".What kind of risk?

I don't know but if Micros**t say there are known compatibility problems but you run it anyway, you have to accept that there is some risk. The limited amount of testing that I did revealed no problem.

ok, I will try and just see what happens. the worst, I will unstall.
