Installing Modular IV on Windows 10 64 Bit Pro Error Message

Post by Scotty_123 »

I have cross posted this as I wasn't sure if it should be in the modular section or here ...


Hello...

First - quick question.. I am getting an error message installing Modular IV from the executable file on Windows 10 64 Bit Pro (Intel Haswel I74770s) - using PCI based Sonic_Core cards. (More specs below)

The error message reads... "the program can only be installed on versions of windows designed for the following processor architecture x86"

Background - Scope 7 is installed and working very well. I copied the modular IV files manually from an old install that I had backed -up. Modular IV loads and many of the patches work but I get a few crashes with specific patches.

I wanted to replaced my manually installed files (from my old archive) by using the actual executable file that is on Sonic_Core's website, just to be sure no files were missed or corupte due to my copying and pasting.

I have downloaded the executable a few times to be sure it itself was not damaged and I still get the error when I try to launch the installer .

The executable is labelled "modular_4_v4.0.1721_pci_english"

Any ideas?

===============================================================
ALSO _ Wow! I finally got around to rebuilding a modern PC for my Sonic_Core Creamware - so happy it works...incredible effort and so appreciative of the small team that keeps this technology current. Still loving the platform.

there is no 64bit installer.
the files are under "additionals" on the SC site.
