I have Windows 7 x64 systems at work that I am attempting to run a barcode font program ( bcsetup.exe ) that installs the font for Internet Explorer's use. However, when I run it at work, the following is displayed:
The version of this file is not compatible with the version of Windows you're running. Check your computer's system information to see whether you need an x86 (32-bit) or x64 (64-bit) version of the program, and then contact the software publisher.
I have tried running it in Vista, XP SP2, XP SP3 and even Windows 95 mode. Same result on all of them. The company that supplies the program insisted that it works on Windows x64 versions.
So, I took the bcsetup.exe home and tested it on a Windows XP x32, Windows 7 x64 and Windows 8 x64 systems with NO issues.
I have disabled Data Execution Protection. User Account Control has been disabled. I disabled the hardware execution protection in the Dell BIOS (the systems at home were Dell and Lenovo). I have unloaded (but not uninstalled) Trend's OfficeScan. Nothing has worked yet. I am going to uninstall Trend next and see if that solves this. Any ideas as to what would be preventing it from running?
The only thing in the Application event log is
The program or feature "\??\C:\temp\bcsetup.exe" cannot start or run due to incompatibity with 64-bit versions of Windows. Please contact the software vendor to ask if a 64-bit Windows compatible version is available.
Any help is GREATLY appreciated!
