Problem: When you attempt to
install the VPN-Q 2006 client (no SP) on Windows XP 64Bit the installation fails
with the following error: This profile was not
built for this processor architecture. Please contact your Administrator to get
the appropriate profile for this architecture.
Cause: VPN-Q 2006 makes use
of Microsoft IExpress, which is a standard Windows component, to create the
client setup program. When run on a 32bit version of Windows Server 2003,
IExpress creates a 32bit version of the setup file. When this is run on 64bit
Windows it runs in a 32bit emulation mode (SYSWOW64) which is unable to launch
the required 64bit connection manager configuration. The resolution from
Microsoft is to run the setup creation process on a 64bit version of Windows
Server 2003. Unfortunately such a package would not be able to be installed on
Windows XP 32bit, furthermore, there is no 64bit version of ISA Server to
install on Windows Server 2003 64bit.
Resolution:
This issue was rectified in Service Pack 1.
The fix allows the 64bit connection
manager configuration to be launched from the 32bit setup program.
More information:
Winfrasoft's aim is to have a single installer that will work on both 32bit and
64bit Windows to simplify deployments. The Service Pack 1 version of VPN-Q 2006
client installs and runs as expected on Windows XP 64bit as the Microsoft
Installer issues have been worked around.
Acknowledgements: Thanks to
