Is there a hack allowing to install a device on 64 vista using a 32 bit driver?
More specific: Install a TWAIN (32 bit) supported scanner without a 64 bit
driver on vista 64?

No the drivers need to be compiled specifically for a the 64bit architecture
 
Re: migrating 32 bit driver to 64 bit (vista)

10x for the A.
I need to support a GL842 based scanner on vista 64.
Scanner is currently supported on 32 bit systems via TWAIN.
Scanner has satellite apps for imaging (32 bit), which are highly coupled to
driver and it's TWAIN DS.
I saw that there is no TWAIN DSM (or will ever) be available for vista 64.
What is the quickest path to support the device (and satellite apps)?

1. Can I get by with INF manipulations and the (potentially revised) 32 bit
driver?
2. If not: Must I implement a 64 bit driver for the scanner?
3. If yes: can I get by with STI (or full WIA required)?

The way I see it, I am pretty much headed for a new 64 bit STI driver to
host my 32 bit TWAIN DS....
Am I right?

Re: migrating 32 bit driver to 64 bit (vista)

It would help if you said which scanner you had.
Is it supported by Vuescan? http://www.hamrick.com/index.html

If the mfg cannot provide 64bit Vista drivers...
then you will not be able to use it...that simple.

However...if Vista does pick up the scanner
but it's simply a matter of the bundled software not working...
then the scanner will in-fact be usable and can be used with other imaging
software that has
"acquire" capability

There are only a few hundreds out there, I am not sure if anybody knows it....
it's a (KeyScan) "KS810".

Re: migrating 32 bit driver to 64 bit (vista)

do you mean a WIA/STI driver ?

Re: migrating 32 bit driver to 64 bit (vista)

http://keyscan.com/en/products/ks810.html says Vista 64-bit support will be
announced shortly.

You can wait or use the scanner with 32-bit Windows in a virtual machine,
e.g. VirtualBox http://www.virtualbox.org/, meanwhile. Microsoft's VirtualPC
won't do because it doesn't support USB.

Looks like you got a reply on that already...
in case it did not show up on your server...they said that there is
currently no driver...
but the mfg should be comming out with one soon
