Running a 32bit program on a 64bit OS

[foozball3000]

We now have an extra PC at work for processing (Quad Cores rock!),
anyway, it's running VISA 64 bit and SAS (a Data manipulation program) is only in 32bit. Apparently the don't have a 64bit version.

Is there a practical way to run the 32bit program on a 64bit Operating System?

I would just install it and try. It might run in standard x86 compatibility mode.

It doesn't allow it. SAS forces a compatibility test, and there's no way around that.

Try VMware/Virtualbox, you can force it to run 32/64 bit.....

I believe that MS Virtual PC now also allows 32bit Guests on a 64bit host...

Always have been able to, just not the other way around.
