I tried installing SatPC32 Ver 12.3 from a CD on my new PC: 64-bit Win7. This will not work due to this version being 32-bit only.
I tried installing from this CD on my HP Mini, 32-bit Win7 and I get this error every second: Fehler bei Fließkommaoperation which I think translates to floating point error. I have to use file manager to stop the popup error messages. I cannot find patches for this problem on the SatPC32 websites. It looks like my HP Mini will not run it.
I really want to install it on my new 64-bit laptop. It looks like all the downloads are trial versions of the full software. You must pay for the full version. So, do I have to purchase another copy to get the newer 64-bit version? I can't use the Ver 12.3 CD on my 64-bit Win7 laptop.

Hi Larry,
I have it running on a Windows 7 64bit version without a problem. If I remember right, you have to run the installer as Admin. Right click and select run as administrator.
Take a close look at the install guide and as specially the Windows 7 remarks.

Larry,
The current version of SatPC32 works on both 32 and 64 bit versions. It is running perfectly on my WIN8.1 64 bit machine. My suggestion is to download the latest version from Erich's site. Your registration number, which you should have received with your original purchase, is good for all future versions, so there is no need to buy it again.

Larry,
Not meaning to sound like a Grinch but did you read the instructions at the SatPC website? I and many others have it running flawlessly on W7/64 and W8/64.
See the instructions below

Good luck.

SatPC32 is also running flawlessly as a 32 bit app on my WIN8.1 64 bit Ultrabook, including touchscreen...
