XP Compatability mode launcher?

[zer0blivion]

Is there any way to launch a program in WoW64?

Sorry if this question makes no sense.

I tried to install some software and the only way I was able to install it was by right-clicking the install .exe and setting compatability mode for windows XP. If I did not set this, it would refuse to install based on the OS version.

The software itself runs great after updating it to the newest version. Now I want to uninstall it, but the uninstaller refuses to run because of the OS version. I right-clicked the uninstall link, but there is no option to run in XP compatable mode. I found the installshield exe that it links to and set it for compatability mode, but still I get the error.

The link calls a dll that calls the installshield exe. I even tried making a shortcut to the shortcut to, but Bill Gates decided that was silly and banned the practice. Is there any way I can launch that link in windows XP compatable mode?

I realize I could just delete the folder from Program Files(x86) and hack up the registry, but I would really prefer not to.

Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

I hope the program is not 16bit because if it is you are sh** out of luck. There is no support for 16bit or DOS apps on x64. No compatability, no work arounds, no hacks...

Supported OSes Win98SE through XP

** UPDATE **

I solved the problem ... it seems the dll call was not required.

I just ran the setup.exe with the paramaters from the uninstall link at the command line and that did it.
