Is this possible at all?

August 5th, 2016

Is it possible to run a 64-bit setup application to extract the setup files just so you can burn them to a DVD in a 32-bit enviornment?
Basically Im running a 32-bit version of Windows Vista Home Premium. I have a copy of 64-bit Windows Vista Ultimate and I have 64-bit hardware. I basically want to do a clean install with Vista Ultimate, but I cant extract the files I need because Im in a 32-bit enviornment.

Answer #1
Do you have any friends with a 64-bit OS so they can do it for you? Otherwise you will need a 64-bit Iso version to burn and re-install.
Answer #2
I dont. I opened the .exe file in Winrar and extracted all of the files to a folder for setup. And then used CDImage to burn a bootable disc of the Vista Ultimate 64-bit. My only concern is that the .iso I burned was only 159MB and the setup files for Vista are about 3.5Gbs. I dont want to just throw this disc in and start an install and have it be a bad install and have to reinstall Home Premium 32-bit plus all of my other programs.
Answer #3
Yea i would play it safe and just search for a 64bit version on WBB and burn that.
