Vista - 32bit application in Vista 64

I am running Vista 64 bit and it works well. I have an application that won't install and it happens to be one I need. The installer stops with an error that says 64 bit is not supported. I run lots of other 32 bit programs. Is there any way to install a program in a 32 bit "work space"?

What is the name of the program? Maybe we can find a workaround.

It is a SIP client that connects to our telephone system. Pretty rare at this time.

Iocoeng - I see you dual boot. Did you follow a procedure to dual boot that you could direct me to? That might work until a 64 bit version is released.

I can't remember which guide I used, but I just looked to see if I was taking the right path and didn't really follow a guide per se. I installed 32 bit on one drive and then installed 64 bit on the other. There are some dual boot guides around that can be found via google search. I'm not sure if you need to install 32 bit first or not.
Good luck

A *really* good dual boot guide:

Hi John, I could not see anything about dual booting there it is all about upgrading say going from Windows Vista 32 to 64.

My Personal preference is not to use dual booting as if e.g. if a disc drive fails and one has two operating systems on it and their respective software and files, one has doubletrouble, I think a much better solution is mobile racks, with seperate hard drives for different operating systems. That way you can have say Windows XP 32 Professional on one drive, Windows XP 64 Professional on another drive and Windows Vista 64 on another drive and the three operating systems whilst sitting in their racks in the computer are never connected at the same time, so you can't get a software problem spilling over from one operating system to another like you can when you have a number of operating systems daisy chained together.

Best and Warm Regards
