I am now using WIndows 7 Home Premium 64-bit as my OS. Since this upgrade, I have run into strange problems. Tonight is was something about Avant wanting to run in XP mode. I am using Avant version 11.7 build 43.
Is Avant compatible with Win 7 64-bit OS?

It works perfectly fine with Windows Vista and 7 64 bit. It doesn't, however, run as a 64 bit application. It is still a 32 bit application.

Okay, so that might be some of the problems. Any plans on getting a 64-bit version up and running?

Re: Is Avant 64-bit compatible?
The developement team hasn't made that plan yet. At present Avant is still based on 32-bit engine. It's not the time to consider using 64-bit engine yet.

Please provide the following information before reporting problems:
Avant Version; System(also point out it is a 32 or 64-bit OS);IE; Memory Size; CPU Speed;
Optional: Firewall; Graphics Card
For the problems hard to replay, could you add me into your MSN or Skype list if you use either of them? The advantage is that you can let us know the situation in the first place by making some screenshots, sharing your screen or explaining the specific problems more clearly when they happen.

Re: Is Avant 64-bit compatible?
And why not? 8-bit gave way to 16-bit which in turn gave way to 32-bit and now 64-bit is becoming the way to go. More and more computers are running 64-bit dual processors and the 64-bit OS'es are much better now. I remember the resistance to go from 16-bit to 32-bit. I guess that is where we are at with the switch to 64-bit.It's not the time to consider using 64-bit engine yet.

Re: Is Avant 64-bit compatible?
I guess that it may be more likely to happen after a 64 bit version of the Delphi compiler is produced - but once the development team decide to do it, it will take further time and effort to implement it.

Thanks for the update. Delphi, wow, I remember that from years ago when I was in a PC development group, before going into the Tech Support side of the business (now retired). I remember it as a great development package.

That and currently, most addons like Flash and Silverlight do not have 64bit versions. Java, does, however, supply a 64bit version.
