Installation 1C:Enterprise 7.7

The version of this file is not compatible with the one you are using. Windows version. Use system information to determine the version of the program you need (32-bit or 64-bit) and contact the publisher software.

For the lucky owners of a 64-bit OS, installing an update to 1C 7.7 may not seem like a piece of cake. The fact is that the setup.exe installer itself is a 16-bit application (yes, exactly 16-bit, which came from the days of Windows 3.1). But in new 64-bit operating systems there is simply no ntvdm emulator that allows you to run 16-bit applications. Microsoft did not fix the most unpleasant holes in this emulator for a long time, and decided to simply throw out the leaky program from the operating system, and happy users will see something like this message:

If you have a computer with a 32-bit OS

To unpack the archive, run the installer on any 32-bit OS (for example, windows xp). Click next several times and install updates on any disk in a new folder.

After installation is complete, copy the resulting folder to a USB flash drive and transfer it to your work computer.

How to find a computer with a 32-bit OS? There can be many options: ask a friend, use a computer at work, in an Internet cafe, grandma’s laptop...

If there is no computer nearby with XP

In this case, we need to install an emulator or virtual machine.

You can download the XP emulator for free directly from the Microsoft website by searching “XP mode” in the search engine.

The second option is to install a virtual VmWare machine, and on it the usual Windows XP.

After receiving virtual Windows XP on local computer in a separate window, go to the item “I have a 32-bit OS at hand”

Why do I need a new Windows if my 1C does not work on it?

Don't trust your sub-administrators: 1C 7.7 works great even on Windows 8.1 after some

Before downloading a software distribution or driver, you must determine which operating system is installed on your computer - 32-bit or 64-bit.

To do this, you must perform the following steps.

Windows 7

Click the Start button, then select Computer from the menu and right-click. IN context menu click the Properties command.
In the window that opens, find the System type item
- if a 64-bit version of the operating system is used, the System type item will indicate: 64-bit operating system
- if a 32-bit version of the operating system is used, the System type item will indicate: 32-bit operating system

Windows XP

option 1

Click the Start button, then select My Computer from the menu and right-click. In the context menu, select the Properties command.

- if a 64-bit version of the operating system is used, in the System item it will be indicated: Microsoft Windows XP version x64
- if a 32-bit version of the operating system is used, the System item will indicate: Microsoft Windows XP version x32

option 2

Start -> Run-> enter the cmd command in the window that appears, calling the command line-> enter the command winver

option 3 (most effective)

Start -> All Programs -> Accessories -> System Tools -> System Information

In this case, comprehensive information about the system is provided. Usually the question arises where it is written about the bit depth, so if the text “x86 Family” is present, then the system is 32-bit.

Question: Why is it not always possible to see necessary information in XP (in the first two options) or is there no “System” item?

Answer: Because XP OS (service pack 3) has a large number of assemblies and not in all assemblies the first two options are relevant, for example, in some assemblies from chipxp.ru only the 3rd option for checking the system bit capacity works.

Windows Vista

Click the Start button, then select Computer from the menu and right-click. In the context menu, select the Properties command.
In the window that opens, find the System item
- If you are using a 64-bit operating system, the System type will indicate: 64-bit operating system
- If you are using a 32-bit operating system, the System type will indicate: 32-bit operating system

I note that the vast majority use a 32-bit operating system.

Sometimes, when installing or running certain (often outdated) programs in Windows Server 2008 (also true for Windows 7), you may encounter an error like:

"The version of this file is not compatible with the version of Windows you are using. Use the system information to determine the version of the program you need (32-bit or 64-bit) and contact the software publisher.»

In this case, you must run the program in compatibility mode with previous operating systems. To do this, click on the launch file (for example setup.exe) right click mouse, select “ Properties" and go to the tab " Compatibility". Here we set the flag “ Run the program in compatibility mode for:» and select the required operating system from the list.

(Most programs run in Windows compatibility XP). Here you can also display Extra options launch, and also define these parameters for all users by clicking on “ Change settings for all users» .

After setting all the settings, click “ Apply" And " OK» .

Now the program will launch in compatibility mode with the installed parameters.

Unfortunately, this method is not suitable for all programs. For example, installing 1C:Enterprise 7.7 on a 64-bit system will not work even in compatibility mode. But nothing is impossible!

Some users encounter the error - The version of this file is incompatible with the version of Windows being used (32 or 64) when launching programs and games. All that remains for them to do after such a message is to close the window and the program installer. In this article we will tell you more about this error and how to fix or avoid it.

Reasons why the error appears

Usually, the reason is a mismatch between the bitness of the Windows operating system and the bitness of the application being launched. Most likely you have an OS installed with a 32-bit information exchange architecture, and the program you are trying to install is designed for a 64-bit system. Due to this, you receive the error “The version of this file is not compatible with the version of Windows you are using.”

Important to remember! A special feature of the 32-bit system is the fact that it can only run programs with the same bit depth. In turn, a 64-bit system can work with files that were created for both 32 and 64-bit Windows systems. This applies to everyone operating systems, starting from version 7 of Windows.

To check what OS architecture you have on your computer, you need to:

• Open "Control Panel".
• Go to “System and Security”.
• Next open “System”. And on this page you can see the bit depth of your Windows against the “System type” line.

In this case, the error of incompatibility between 32 and 64 bit Windows can be resolved in several ways.

Switch to Windows with 64-bit architecture

If you don’t know how to do this, then 2 possible options will now be described. In each, you need to purchase a disk image with Windows 64 bit. We can recommend exclusively “clean assemblies”, without any additional programs, such as “cracked” photoshops, etc. Find it on the Internet and download it.

1. You won't even need to go into the BIOS, as is necessary with the usual option. Download the disk image with the distribution, then download and install Daemon Tools Lite. Open the image through this program and install it.
2. Normal installation with formatting the disk and creating new partitions. This option is the most reliable, but using it will delete all your files, programs and device drivers from the disk. Therefore, before installation, you will need to transfer all the necessary files to another disk or flash drive. The error may occur when Windows installation 64 to an “old” computer whose hardware simply does not support this architecture. In this case, the installation will result in a message: The version of this file is incompatible with the version of Windows you are using. There is only one way out of this situation - buying a new, more modern computer that supports 64-bit operating system architecture.

Other causes of the error “The version of this file is not compatible with the version of Windows you are using”

In addition to the main reasons for the appearance of this error, it is also possible in an already installed 64-bit OS. Most often, the error occurs as a result of launching modern games. In this case:

• Launch the program or game using account administrator.
• Try to "play" with different options version compatibility. To do this, you need to right-click on the game launcher or right-click. In the drop-down menu, select “Properties” and in the “Compatibility” tab, check the box “Run the application in compatibility mode for:” and select the OS from the list.
• If the previous option did not help, run "Fix compatibility problems."
• Sometimes the OS does not have an archiver. In this case, when unpacking the installation file archives, the system will display this error. In order for the system to complete installation and unpack setup files you need to download one of the archivers. You can find them on the Internet.
