Ari, thank you for the helpful tip! The .Net download did just the trick. My application
was now able install and work. I wonder however if this will allow other programs
to work on x64.
At the time I ordered the Windows XP to install in my new iMac, I knew little about
the different versions and assumed 64 was the right choice since I have a 64-bit
processor. I probably should have ordered 32-bit instead. Is there any practical
reason to having 64-bit? Does it have better security, performance? Is it more stable?
I suppose I could always suspend it and only use it when I need to run Windows-only
programs. If x64 gives me too much trouble, I can always remove it, and get 32-bit.
I really wanted to go completely Mac, except not all software I need to use works
in Mac. Many smaller software developers don't develop Mac versions of their programs.
