VirtualBox 1.5.0 not installable on Windows Vista 64 Bit

Post by aghamemnun »

I don't manage to install the new Version of VirtualBox. I always get the following error message: "This application only runs on Windows 2000 or above." I downloaded the x86 version. Does it perhaps not run on C2D systems?

Download the amd64 version instead. There are now two windows versions: 32 (x86) and 64 (amd64) bits.

You're right

Meantime, I tried the AMD64 version. You're right. It works. I just coudn't believe that I would have to install that version on Intel C2D systems. But it works perfectly.
