| | VS 2005 R2 / x64 Processor Issue I'm running VS 2005 R2 on Windows 2008 Standard. I am trying to set up a VM for Small Business Server 2008 but cannot install to the VM. I get an error "trying to install a 64 application on a CPU that is not 64bit". However the server in question does have a 64 bit CPU as I can install Small Business Server 2008 natively (not as a VM running on Win 2008 Server). Anyone come across this before? thanks. |

| | Re: VS 2005 R2 / x64 Processor Issue Rather than try to use Virtual Server, which won't work for SBS since it only supports 32-bit clients, you need to enable the Hyper-V Role on the Server 2k8 box if your CPU and BIOS support hardware virtualization. Hyper-V will allow you to create 64-bit VMs and run SBS 2008. If your CPU is 64-bit, but does NOT support hardware virtualization (as some older 64-bit CPUs won't), then your best bet is VMWare. -- Charlie. http://msmvps.com/blogs/xperts64 http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/profile/charlie.russel "Pryan" <Pryan@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:AA832650-3942-4590-B6FA-C994AC90212E@xxxxxx Quote: > I'm running VS 2005 R2 on Windows 2008 Standard. > > I am trying to set up a VM for Small Business Server 2008 but cannot > install > to the VM. > I get an error "trying to install a 64 application on a CPU that is not > 64bit". > However the server in question does have a 64 bit CPU as I can install > Small > Business Server 2008 natively (not as a VM running on Win 2008 Server). > > Anyone come across this before? > thanks. > |

| | Re: VS 2005 R2 / x64 Processor Issue What do you mean SBS only supports 32 bit clients? You mean SBS 2008 running as a VM on a Hyper V system?

| | Re: VS 2005 R2 / x64 Processor Issue He means Virtual Server doesn't support running 64-bit OS's in a VM.
