For any of you using 64-bit windows, the instructions say: "If you are using a 64-bit version of Windows, install the 64-bit version of this package instead." This didn't work for me and I continued to get an error when starting Allegiance.exe. After scratching my head for a while, rebooting/un-installing/rebooting/re-installing I figured I would just give the x86 re-distributable a shot ... worked like a charm.

The description from Microsoft's download page isn't totally clear, but I think that the 64-bit version is only need to run actual 64-bit applications. Since alleg is 32-bit, I guess the x86 files are also needed so that 64-bit XP can do its whole "lets pretend I'm not a 64-bit OS" thing.

Can any other 64-bit Windows users confirm?

Yes you do need in fact the x86 version. I corrected this with my installer but dogbones would need to edit his post. The 64-bit versions are for 64-bit applications.

I can not confirm. I run WinXP64 and the standard installer works fine.

you could view its dependencey to see what files its loading.

Installer? You mean AEM's installer for R4? He said he figured this out, unfortunately the instructions were still wrong when I went through this and it looked easy enough to just do by hand (which it was until I got to the part where they were wrong). So I haven't tried AEM's installer.

Dogbones can you fix your instructions ... 64-bit users don't need the x64 version of VS2005 stuff, that is only for actual 64-bit applications.
