[Dxbase] DXBase2006 on Vista Home Premium SP1 64 bits

[Jack]

Knut,

I do not have version 2006 of DXbase around but this is how to solve the 
problem in 2007.  I believe it will work for 2006 as well:

Use notepad to open the registration file that you have for 32 bit.


Replace the following line:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Scientific Solutions\Dxb2006]

With the following line:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Wow6432Node\Scientific Solutions\Dxb2006]


Save changes to a new filename so that you do not erase your
original 32bit registration.

To apply this new registration, double click the .reg filename just as you
would for 32bit.

Regards,
Jack
