#524 Areca won't start on 64-bits windows 7

[Serge Prudhomme]

Areca won't start on 64bits windows 7. No errors. Nothing. Just won't start.

I think the installer could do a better job handling 64 bits systems. They are not uncommon these days...

Luckily I found the following solution on the web:

I think this is a dead project, since it don't work on the most common system these day
