Announcing support for 64 bit Windows Vista

In previous posts in the forums, when users have asked for 64 bit Windows support, we have replied that it wouldn't happen until 3rd party products released 64 bit versions of their components. Well, this still is true if we are talking about a pure 64 bit application. But what we have neglected to implement is the possibility to run x86 (32 bit) applications on Windows 64 bit using WOW (Windows on Windows). This is a technology that allows 32 bit applications to run on Windows 64 bit. Up until now, the Online Radio Tuner has been compiled to run on any platform, meaning that if it runs on 64 bit, it will expect any 3rd party components to support 64 bit. But the simple solution is to change our compilation flags to force the application to run in x86 mode. That means that Windows will run the application on WOW. From the upcoming v1.3 release, this will be implemented. See this screen shot that shows Online Radio Tuner running on Windows Vista 64 bit.:
