32bit app on TS 2008 & Hyper-V

[tom_tom88]

I have a TS 2008 64 bit server, I need to install a 32 bit app to be
available for the remote users. I obviously cannot install it on the 64 bit
server, is there a way, if i create a virtual 32bit server on hyper-v and
then install the 32bit app, can i make that available to the remote users.
sorry if i am not clear, but i hope you get the idea

32-bit applications can be installed on a 64-bit system. There are caveats
but 64-bit does have a 32-bit WoW subsystem.

Hi, It does not seem to want to install and gives a error about being the
wrong version of windows. Do I have to enable the 32-bit sub system in some
way ?

Re: 32bit app on TS 2008 & Hyper-V

No. That typically means the installer or some part of the code of the
program still has 16-bit pieces. Yes, way too many "32-bit" software still
have 16-bit pieces left in them espcially installers.
