Leverage new capability:
All 16-bit components should be removed from applications and replaced with 32-bit or 64-bit equivalents.
All 16-bit installers should be converted to 32-bit or 64-bit installers.
If the application uses kernel mode drivers, a 64-bit version of the driver needs to be authored. The application should detect the platform of the OS (32-bit or 64-bit) and then install the proper architecture of the driver based on the OS platform.
Ensure that all 64-bit drivers are digitally signed.
Compatibility test:
Install and launch the application on a 32-bit and a 64-bit Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 computer. The application should function properly on both architectures.
