Dear All,

I have vb.net application which is 32 bit and need to transfer to 64bit
windows. It cannot run.
How can I do to make it work??

Any hints and procedures are appreciated.

Thanks for your time and effort,

Raymond Chiu

works for _pure_ managed apps:

compile with VB 2005 using Target CPU = 'AnyCpu'

On 64 Bit Windows (x64) install runtime

If you are using any COM-Interop/PInvoke/other components,
verify all their compatibility with 64-Bit.
