Driver will not install on 32 bit XP running on 64 bit machine
I have a desktop running 32 bit XP and 64 bit 7. (Multiboot not xp mode). I try to install a 32 bit driver for an old Microtek Scanmaker E3+ on the 32 bit XP installation.
There are no peculiarities during the install. It says it's finished and reboots. Fine.
However, its folder does not appear in program files or the start menu. It seems to have gone up in smoke. It is nowhere.
However, if I try the installation again, it says the previous version must be uninstalled. I do it, then the whole process repeats itself.
Note, I'm not trying to install a 32 bit driver into 64 bit Win7. Setup is failing on 32 bit XP. Anyone experienced anything like this? Could the 64 bit hardware be interfering with this particular driver? Any other ideas?
Thanks
