MEP 2008 on Windows Vista 64 bit

Recommended Posts

If anyone decides to upgrade to Windows Vista 64bit Autodesk have written into MEP that it wont install on 64bit machines!!!

 

However after a bit of searching the worldwide web it can be installed and mines working fine.

 

1. Download and install Orca from Microsoft.

2. Copy the installation files to your hard drive or a network folder.

3. Backup the files MEP.msi and Setup.ini

4. Edit the MEP.msi with Orca and delete the action found in the table

"InstallExecuteSequence" that is called "CheckFor64BitOS" Delete the same

line under table "CustomAction"

5. Save and close the MEP.msi

6. Edit the Setup.ini with Notepad. Delete the line under

"#==================== Platform Requirement" that is labeled

"PLATFORM=NO_WOW_64_PROCESS"

7. Double-click the Setup.exe and you can install as usual.

 

 

Been using for a month now with no issues whatsover! :D

not sure I understand as my MEP 2009 came on 2 disks, one for 32 bit and one for 64. Installed one time with no issues (that way).
