The only thing that will not work under any 64 bit Windows is 16 bit 
operations, like with 16 bit doors.  It has to be at least 32 bit 
doors.   WcNavigator will not work on it too.  But everything else 
will work fine.

During the CD install, you would ignore the door install prompt, just 
continue with the installation.
