valid, but is for a machine type other than the curent machine.

Hi
Im haveing troubles installing a program on my computer.
I have a 64bit chip and the program worked with it on XP.
I now use XP64bit and im getting the following msg when I try to install.

"The image file C:\DOCUME~1\LOCALS~1\TEMP\IXP000.TMP\Setup.exe is valid, but
is for a machine type other than the curent machine."

So as for many installers it has a bit of 16bit code.
Have tryed all the compatibility modes and cant find any installshield
settings.

Help please!!! Is there any code/ file or setting I may need?

All coments welcome.

You don't say what program, but no 16-bit installer works in x64.

16bit is simply not supported on x64. Period.
