How to install and run Classic CodeWarrior products on 64-bit
Windows 7 PC
Classic CodeWarrior products were built and delivered prior to the release of Windows 7 host OS, but it
is possible to install classic CodeWarrior products on a 32-bit Windows 7 host PC and use it
successfully. However, if your host PC is running 64-bit Windows 7, then you will run into trouble as
the install shield will abort installation once it has detected that the host OS is 64-bit Windows 7. This
paper will show you how to install and run classic CodeWarrior products on a 64-bit Windows 7 host PC
using Microsoft Windows XP mode under Windows 7.
Microsoft‘s Windows Virtual PC has provided a Windows XP Mode environment for Windows 7 to install and run many
older Windows XP applications directly from Windows 7-based PC.

One thing to be noted is that download and install Windows XP mode (about 500 MB) is pretty
straightforward and easy, however installing Windows Virtual PC (16 MB) is not always a smooth ride.
It could take quite a long time to get it done successfully, some time more than an hour. Please be patient
when installing this Windows Virtual PC, even you may see that the install process seems died and
nothing happens. Please make sure that the pop up window shows up and you click “Accept the license
terms” to have it finish installation for you.
After installation, you need to re-boot your Windows 7 PC. Then run Windows XP mode to configure its
first usage. The top URL link has detailed instruction on how to do this.
