Knut, I do not have version 2006 of DXbase around but this is how to solve the problem in 2007. I believe it will work for 2006 as well:
Use notepad to open the registration file that you have for 32 bit. Replace the following line: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Scientific Solutions\Dxb2006] With the following line: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Wow6432Node\Scientific Solutions\Dxb2006] Save changes to a new filename so that you do not erase your original 32bit registration. To apply this new registration, double click the .reg filename just as you would for 32bit.
