mileycad Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
