I have Vista x64 and WLW installed just fine. Strange. Did it give you an error or something?
By the way, congrats on the new job! Are you states-side now?
Roy dude, congratulations on finally deciding where to go.
Good luck :)
You joining TypeMock - that says a lot, both on you and on Eli, in terms of being able to learn and be open to different approaches.
Strange that 64-bit problem with Live Writer... I read about it before but when I got my new laptop also from a new company and put a 64-bit OS on it, in my case Vista 64-bit, it just installed fine. No problem.
And I can only agree with you about the smell of new hardware. :-)
I installed the latest live writer on my Vista x64 box with out issue. Odd that XP would have trouble with it.
If you're going to go 64-bit, go Vista. Really. Windows XP 64-bit was a first effort. Windows Server 2003 64-bit was based on that first effort. But it's still a first effort.
Microsoft got nearly all of the kinks worked out in the Vista rendition of their 64-bit OS.
It's not that I particularly like Vista. It's that I use both Windows Server 2003 64-bit at work and Windows Vista 64-bit at home, both of which have as many tools installed, and I couldn't be more annoyed with my boss that he wants me to avoid Vista for no good reason at all when I've had all kinds of headaches with Windows Server 2003 64-bit, most notably there's no Logitech keyboard/mouse driver support, and the Aptana IDE won't render anything correctly. But it all works great in Vista 64-bit.
