ACA 2008 is not supported on XP or Vista 64 bit OS. There is a workaround to install it on those platforms, however it is not supported by autodesk.

If you have the time, this thread in the Autodesk ACA 2008 Discussion Group has an interesting series of exchanges on this topic. If you really do not want to read the whole thing, scroll way down to this post:

Re: when will 64 bit OS be supported?

(your date/time may vary, if you are not in the United States, Eastern Time Zone and observing daylight savings time). The text of that post follows; I added the bold/color to highlight the most relevant sentence:

We have experienced a growing number of customer reports regarding the
install of AutoCAD Architecture 2008 on a 64-bit Operating System. We do
realize that users were able to install previous versions of AutoCAD
Architecture on 64 bit systems knowing it was not supported. Due to this
demand, our development team has provided us with a workaround for the
issue.

We are aware of the growing number of users who are upgrading their machines
and OS to 64 bit. To accommodate these users we are working on a true 64 bit
application, but due to government regulations we cannot provide any further
details at this time.

Please contact Autodesk Support to obtain the files and installation
instructions.

Thank you, we appreciate all of your comments and feedback.
