From Walter Beck <walter.beck at uni.edu> to webmaster:

I tried to install the AMD64 version of python on my new laptop, Vista system. The installer said the processor was not correct. My processor is a Turion64x2. 32 bit Python installed and ran fine. Is there a bug in the installer or doesn't it like Vista or is this the wrong ADM64?

Walter,

Most likely, there is indeed a problem with your system installation. You likely have the 32-bit (x86) version of Vista installed, not the x64 version. On the 32-bit windows, the AMD64 mode of the processor is not available, and 64-bit windows binaries cannot run on that system.

HTH, Martin
