you just can't get there from here!!! you can try to install it seperatly into the "programs(x86)" area of 64 bit windows but it still won't run very well. You might want to look into some GNU software. NET Beans is a good one and can do MSI files. But your best bet starting out and trying not to spend a lot of money would be to do the GNU software angle. The software is free but you would have to pay for support if you needed it or just apply your time to getting to know how to use the forums to fix any problems that you run across with Open Source software. But in the end trying to run software that old will run into problems with trying to access objects in a 64-bit environment, the WOW32 engine works pretty good but not good enough for creating programs. You can also try using the "Express" versions from Microsoft if you have to have Microsoft or all you know is Microsoft. They are shortened versions and cannot do everything but with a little searching you can put together a perfectly legal bundle of Express editions that should be able to do about 80% of what you were doing with your present software but in a 64 bit environment. Also because Microsoft is starting to push more and more of it's 64 bit products you might be able to get a decent discount by joining some different trade organizations that would benefit your business in other ways as well such as health insurance, discounts on different products, etc.... A business needs every break it can get when starting out and help is out there for the asking you just have to look, search, and research to tell between being ripped off and an alliance that will benifet both of you. But because your edition just isn't set up to deal with the newer stuff it is upgrade somehow through open source stuff, express editions through microsoft, or discounts provided by business associations. One really good association for starting small businesses is the NFIB (National Federation of Independent Businesses) good discounts on a lot of business related products including Microsoft products.
Good Luck, Good Business Success to you!!!
