<p>Hi, I faced similar problem and I'm glad someone got through.<br>

My challenge was using Nikon Scan 4.02 with <strong>Windows XP Professional x64</strong>. I did not find any hints, unlike for Vista x64, on the Internet. I was ready to bother myself with VMWare, but (luckily?) it failed with BSOD in guest OS (Windows XP 32-bit) USB driver.<br>

I hat no choice, so I followed the pattern proposed for Vista:</p>

<ol>

<li>install a demo version of an application which incorporates 64-bit drivers for my Nikon Coolscan V ED (like SilverFast or VueScan)</li>

<li>install Nikon Scan 4 without drivers on top</li>

<li>enjoy</li>

</ol>

<p>Unfortunately Nikon Scan 4 (non of 4.00, 4.02 or 4.03) won't install on Windows XP x64. <strong>"Nikon Scan 4 does not run on this operating system"</strong> it sais.<br>

The <strong>solution</strong> is install Nikon Scan 4 on 32-bit OS and then just copy the software. <br />So adjusted pattern is:</p>

<ol>

<li>install a demo version of an application which incorporates 64-bit drivers for my Nikon Coolscan V ED (e.g. download SilverFast Ai IT8 from <a href="http://www.silverfast.com/get_demo/en.html?product=447">http://www.silverfast.com/get_demo/en.html?product=447</a>)</li>

<li>install Nikon Scan 4 on 32-bit OS und update to 4.02</li>

<li>copy folders from 32-bit Windows onto your x64<br /><strong>C:\Program Files\Nikon</strong><br /><strong>C:\Program Files\Common Files\Nikon</strong><br /><strong>C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Nikon</strong> (it's missing on 32-bit, copy it from C:\Program Files\Common Files\Nikon)<br /><strong>C:\WINDOWS\twain_32\Nikon</strong></li>

<li>don't forget to ENJOY!</li>

</ol>

<p>I do enjoy now because this incapability of Nikon Software was the pain in my a... for all these years. You can imagine how happy I am now :-)<br>

Blame on Nikon software engineers who don't care of any solution while they do have 64-bit drivers (SilverFast claims to use standard drivers from Nikon) and the software itself runs on 64-bit just perfect.</p>
