Simatic NET products on x64 Windows platforms

Its difficult understand why Siemens is not able to provide software for these platforms? For most customers it would be even enough to run 32-bit software on 64-bit OS versions. Most(in fact all) 32-bit software i've installed on 64-bit Windows OS have worked. JMM

And I am almost sure if you try to install some software under 64 bits OS you will succeed (not recommend ). Best regards, Hristo Mihalev

JMM Posts: 17 Rating: (0)	Hi and thanks for your answer. Can you point to some documentation which says what even future versions will not support x64 Windows versions? About installing simatic net sw on 64bit OS, anyone actually tried installing v2008 or v8.0 on x64? I've had some expirence before where installation program refused to install as it noticed that it was being run on "wrong" os version. It was something like installing sw on Win enterprise even if only standart is supported or something like that. JMM
