    cheers bro ...

    when I complete the AIO 32/64bit, (probably in 2/3 days) I would appreciate if I could PM you with a link to it, prior to posting it for all ... that way, I can be sure that all 32bit is OK cause I running that and can confirm .... and likewise you running 64bit can confirm if the 64bit issues cleaned up .... if all is well, then I would update the main link with the final installer.

    :)

    @ searchengine, sorry i ain't been here to test the patches been busy first time on forum had a chance to look around rather than a quick browse. Really glad you got it going with restorator. Was ready for pointing you to the road of dup2 patcher but virus checkers don't like it:(

    @urie ...

    no worries, yeah hopefully Restorator is gonna do the trick for 64bit, last test looks promising. :D

    Edit:-
    now updated the download link of 1st post with new installer ... now x32/64bit compatible.
    working in versions tested as old as 6.0.2-bld-59824 up to and including v7RC.

    HUGE THANKS to highspeedmac for continued testing in x64bit, and for confirming the updated installer works in 64bit without issue, and also advising working without issue in v7RC ....thanks highspeedmac :):):)

    highspeedmac... you are very welcome, you made x64bit compatibility possible with continued feedback.

    At some point, I would like to update the installer with a fuller menu of Slic 2.1 bios files ... but for now it's just has 10 .... I found some of those posted here, and made some of them, and will add more as they become available.

    :)

    My Virtual PC folders are here...
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Virtual PC\

    "Virtual PC.exe" is the process called on my system.. LOL, the process is running
    in 32 bit mode.. If I remember correctly, That's why I don't use Virtual PC.. They label it 64 bit but it runs as 32 bit. Only the drivers are 64 bit i believe..

    There is no "vcp.exe" file on my system...

    This run of your Patcher failed cause it can't find the "Virtual PC.exe".

    Ah, yep, that would explain it..

    My test was done on the older MS Virtual PC 2007 x64 for XP/Vista... I have Windows 7, but For now I'm running it in VMware.. LOL, as far as I know, I don't think you can run a VM inside another VM.. So any results I have would be for the Older Version OF VPC..

    Hum, now you've got me wondering, Can you run the new MS VPC inside of a VMware Windows 7 VM?
