Forcing 32-bit programs to run on 64-bit Windows
Although Windows 32-bit programs will not install by default on 64-bit versions of Windows, there are three possible workarounds:
Workaround 1: You can run the Developer 10g setup.exe installer in Windows compatibility mode > Windows XP (Service Pack 2) or Windows XP (Service Pack 3). See Section 6 in Note 277535.1.
Workaround 2: You can let Windows determine how to install it automatically via the "Program Compatibility Assistant". See Section 6 in Note 277535.1.
Workaround 3: Install some additional patches and run the Developer 10g installer with the -ignoreSysPrereqs command line parameter. See Note 1292919.1 for more details.
