Thank you for diagnosing this problem. Can you please report this in our bugzilla [1] ? Unfortunately, I cannot reproduce this because I have no machine with x64 nor 8 GB of memory. Do you get any error messages when you start evince from the command line in a console? (Please add your answer to bugzilla). > How about a x64 bit version of Evince to work under x64 Windoze?

Instead you have to download and unpack rpm packages yourself. I think that if you use openSUSE you can just install the mingw64-evince [3] package from that project and then just copy /usr/i686-mingw64msvc/sys-root/mingw/* to your Windows 7 filesystem. But be warned, I have no experience with it, so it might not work. There currently is no win64 installer build because Wine was not working on x64 before and I need Wine to run WiX to build the installer. But I think Wine works on x64 now, so I might look into building a win64 instaler again, when I can find some time.
