This only applies to NX development not .NET

To be able to install Net Express v4.0 on an x64 or Itanium environment you need to follow the provided set of instructions.

1) Copy the entire Net Express v4.0 CD to a temporary folder on your workstation. For example, NX40

2) Because of the 32-bit compatibility mode, the default installdir location contains "(x86)" which is not allowed by the Net Express Setup program. To overcome this problem you will need to edit the NXSETUP.INI(Net Express v4.0) or NXPSETUP.INI(Net Express v4.0 Professional) file located in the SETUP directory and changed all occurrences in the INI file of:

DefaultDirectory=<PROGRAMFILES>\\Micro Focus\\Net Express

DefaultNewDirectory=<PROGRAMFILES>\\Micro Focus\\Net Express 4.0

changed to :

DefaultDirectory=C:\\Program Files\\Micro Focus\\Net Express

DefaultNewDirectory=C:\\Program Files\\Micro Focus\\Net Express 4.0

3) The setup must be run from the command line with an additional command line option (/NO_SUBSYSTEM)

For Net Express v4.0:

e.g. X:\\NX40\\SETUP\\SETUP.EXE /INI=X:\\NX40\\SETUP\\NXSETUP.INI /NO_SUBSYSTEM

For Net Express v4.0 Professional:

e.g. X:\\NX40\\SETUP\\SETUP.EXE /INI=X:\\NX40\\SETUP\\NXPSETUP.INI /NO_SUBSYSTEM

We also strongly suggest that you download and apply the current Net Express v4.0 Wrappack.
