   The only thing that will not work under any 64 bit Windows is 16 bit    
   operations, like with 16 bit doors.  It has to be at least 32 bit    
   doors.   WcNavigator will not work on it too.  But everything else    
   will work fine.   
      
   During the CD install, you would ignore the door install prompt, just    
   continue with the installation.
