64 bit mode Demo problem

Hi,
When host operating system is native 64 bit, then your Client-Server SilverLight demo does not show any demos - because it opens SilverLight-incompatible IE 64-bit as a viewer.
FYI

The Silverlight preview in WinForms Designer also does not work with the same symptoms.

Hello,
We need some additional time to check the issue.

Hi,
Is some additional time passed or wasted?

Hello,
Sorry for the delay.
We cannot reproduce the problem. On one PC we have not reproduced the problem. On the second one we cannot even install 64-bit Silverlight for IE x64. Unfortunately, now we cannot do anything. If there is a problem, it is due to Silverlight, but not to our code.
Thank you.

Hello,
as MS says, Silverlight can not be used in 64bit browsers...
On my W7 x64, Stimulsoft Designer (desktop) runs as 64 bit application
and that is why in Silverlight Preview pane, there is just "Click here to install SL" logo.
HTML Preview is insufficient. This was probably alreary reported.
Would it be possible to simply set Target CPU to x86 in your Designer application?
Thank you.

Hello,
From our side, we checked the issue under Windows 7 x64. Recompiled the project under x86 and it still not possible to run the project under IE x64.
The only option we now see is to set the default IE browser as x32.
In Silverlight 5 they promise immediate support of x64. After its release, we will add support so that in the future no problems will appear.
Thank you.

Hello,
my default browser under W7 x64 is 32-bit IE and it does not help.
Actually I used CorFlags Conversion Tool (CorFlags.exe) from MS Visual Studio to force Designer.exe to run
as 32bit app on 64bit OS. Silverlight Preview pane works as expected as it uses 32bit IE.
However this workaround is just not very clear "hack" (as Designer.exe is strong named).
Is not there better solutions?

Hello,
On the current moment we cannot do anything, the product is delivered in a standard assembly. Compiling under x32 does not provide any result.
We will wait for Silverlight 5, and possibly the situation will change and we can help you.
Thank you.

Hello,
just few bytes need to be changed (CorFlags can do that)!
I am not sure what does "Compiling under x32 does not provide any result." exactly mean but
changing Target CPU from "Auto" to "x86" (Visual Studio terminology) would force
Designer.exe to run as 32-bit app on 64-bit OSes. Regardless the platform it is compiled under.
Am I missing something? Are there any advantages of running Designer.exe as 64bit app?
The disadvantage of not functional Silverlight Preview pane is obvious.
Sorry for my impatience, Silverlight 5 FINAL is expected for the end of 2011...
Thank you and have a nice day.
