GitHub has 16-bit components incompatible with 64-bit Windows 7 OS - github

I just installed GitHub for Windows on my 64-bit Windows 7 computer, and the GitHub always get the following two errors complaining about two components are 16-bit applications incompatible with the 64-bit Windows OS. The two error messages are attached below.
I think there should be many users running GitHub on 64-bit Windows, so could someone please provide some workaround for this issue?
1) The first error
Unsupported 16-Bit Application
The program or feature "\??\C:\Users\mikez\AppData\Local\GitHub\PortableGit_054f2e797ebafd44a30203088cd3d58663c627ef\bin\ssh-agent.exe" cannot start or run due to incompatibity with 64-bit versions of Windows. Please contact the software vendor to ask if a 64-bit Windows compatible version is available.
2) The second error
Unsupported 16-Bit Application
The program or feature "\??\C:\Users\mikez\AppData\Local\GitHub\PortableGit_054f2e797ebafd44a30203088cd3d58663c627ef\bin\ssh-keygen.exe" cannot start or run due to incompatibity with 64-bit versions of Windows. Please contact the software vendor to ask if a 64-bit Windows compatible version is available.

Give msysgit a try. I heard that this works fine.

Installing Crystal Reports Runtime on Windows Server 2016

I'm working to install the Crystal Reports Runtime (SP31) on a Windows Server 2016 machine, and I just wanted to know - is there anything special I need to know about the installation process? Any special steps that are needed that are different from installing on a local user machine? Any known issues?
Just remember that the choice of 32-bit vs 64-bit is NOT based on the platform. Even if the machine is 64-bit, you should still install the 32-bit version if your app was compiled for 32-bit.
Similarly, data connectivity (e.g. ODBC) should be 32-bit if the app was compiled for 32-bit.
Also, be aware that if the machine has another application that uses the Crystal runtime, but from another service pack, you might run into conflicts.

0xc000007B application was unable to start

I am trying to run EasyPHP on Windows 10 (64 bit) system. Initially the error was regarding msvcr110.dll missing, which I resolved somehow. Now its showing the error of 0xc00007b unable to start program correctly. I have tried to run the compatibility troubleshoot as well as run as administrator option. Its just not working. Any other effective solutions ?
This usually happens when you have mix of x86 and x64 libraries installed. You should probably uninstall all x86 versions of Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributables and install their x64 bit counterparts (just google them and make sure you download 64 bit version of that library).

Running 64-bit Windows and Linux in 32-bit mode

I need to test my C code for 32- and 64-bit versions of Windows (XP and 7) and Linux. But I have got access only to their 64-bit installations.
Question: Is it possible to use some boot-time settings or other hacks to run/emulate these OSes in 32-bit mode? If not, is there any other way to test the portability of my C code?
Note: The C code in question is not a full-fledged application but rather a .dll/.so file.
Neither Linux nor Windows 64Bit can run as 32Bit OS. Also, while you can run 32Bit executables on the 64Bit OS, it is not quite the same as running the same under a 32Bit OS. But it might work as a quick screening test. Besides, you certainly want that to work as well, right?
Your choices are full multi-boot setup, using VMs (might hide/expose bugs), being content with the emulation layer or running the other OS's on different hardware.
BTW: If you have Windows 64Bit, the license allows you to run 32Bit instead and vice versa. Anyway, you might want to check different language versions as well...

Compiled perl executable fails to run on Windows 7 (64 bit)

I have created an executable (.exe) of a perl script on a 64-bit linux kernel. It executes correctly in this environment.
When the executable is run in 64-bit Windows 7, the following error message is displayed:
The version of this file is not compatible with the version of Windows
you're running. Check your computer's system information to see
whether you need x86 (32-bit) or x64 (64-bit) version of the program,
and then contact the software publisher.
Given that the source and destination OS's were both 64-bit, I'm not sure that the architecture of the build is the issue. Are there any special considerations to make a compiled perl program execute properly in Windows? Thank you.
Executable files are not compatible across platforms. They will run on the original platform only unless they are explicitly cross-compiled to a different target. That's actually the reason we use interpreted languages. What you want to do is not possible because the Windows and Linux APIs, libraries, and well just about everything are completely different.
This is why you need to download a different version of a program for linux/windows/mac.

PostgreSQL ODBC Drivers on Windows 7 not showing up

I'm running win7 64bit so I installed the (psqlodbc_09_00_0300-x64.zip) msi 64bit drivers for postgres odbc.
i also tried launching the odbc manager from the following location "%systemdrive%\Windows\SysWoW64\odbcad32.exe"
But i still don't see any postgres drivers i can use.
Anyone know how to make them show up?
To setup DSN for 32-bit application you must use: %WINDIR%\SysWOW64\odbcad32.exe
and for 64-bit application you must use: %WINDIR%\System32\odbcad32.exe
see http://psqlodbc.projects.pgfoundry.org/faq.html#6.8
Typically in a case like this you want to install both the 64-bit drivers (for 64-bit programs) and the 32-bit drivers (for 32-bit programs). If this doesn't work you have two options:
Uninstall and reinstall. On reinstall disable antivirus software, etc. and anything else that may interfere with writing to the registry.
Run regsvr32 on on the 32-bit version and regsvr64 on the 64-bit version
