32 Bit Software on 64 Bit OS
Hi all,
Hope you can help with this
i have just started to build my new laptop which is Windows 7 64 Bit.
i am now in the process of installing the software i require on the new Laptop.
Some of the software i am installing is
SQL Server 2005 32 Bit
MS Office 2007 32 Bit
Visual Studio 2005 32 Bit.
The issue i am having is that Windows Update (Windows 7 64 Bit) is not picking up that these Version of the software need to be patched.
I know for a fact that each of the above have several Service Packs plus numerous Security updates which are not being picked up by the new machine.
is there a way to install a 32 bit version of Windows update to allow these Microsoft Products to be brought up to date. Failing that i will have to install Windows 7 32 bit (The new laptop came with 64 bit pre-installed)
As it stands now this is not a viable solution as there are too many issues now and going forward if i am not able to keep the software up to date which is a massive security risk for my company and our clients.
We must use these 32 bit versions of the software above as this is what our Clients use.
Any help greatly appreciated.
