I agree with T that a VM is the easy way to go but jBase runs fine as a 32 bit app on 64 bit versions of Windows 7, 8, Server 2008 and 2012.
It's a manual process that involves updating multiple registry keys. (We have it scripted but it's tailored to our application). Assuming that the drive letter is going to be the same on the old one as the new one, here are the basic steps. Log on as the administrator to avoid Windows yelling at you. Copy the JBASE30 directory file to the new computer, making sure that a copy of libjbase.dll is in \JBASE30\bin Export the jBase registry keys from your current 3.4 installation including the entries for license server and telnet server and import them on the new server. Set the jBase system environment variables, including the path variable. Run jinstallkey Getting a compiler to work is a more work and installing Objex is yet another step.

It is looking for a specific name for the files that 64b windows does not have.

You can maximize the vmWare instance and not know it's a guest rather than the host OS. You can minimize the virtual screen, and use any 64bit client to get into the environment via telnet, local or remote. Don't think of a virtual machine as something huge and complex. It's not. It's just another program running on your system that consumes as much resources as Excel and it can be as transparent as a service. In short, with a virtual and anywhere upwards of about 500MB RAM, depending on need, you can get exactly what you want, right now, and for free. That seems like a no brainer to me.

Is there a way to install Jbase 3.x on Win 7/64b or Win 8/64b? The installer stops you from doing it. 2. Will it run? Before I get hit with the why not do JBase 5.x, this is just temporary for those buying new systems. We will go to 5.x but are holding off a little more to allow older clients to buy new systems for the server.
