WB support for ARM version of Windows 11

I have a new MacBook Pro with an M2 chip.
I am able to run the ARM version of Windows 11 using Parallels v17.

When I try to install WB or QuickandEasyWebBuilder (W&E) in the Windows 11 virtual machine, I obtain errors that the x86 is not supported.

Are their any plans to make WB or Q&E available under ARM version of Windows 11?

I know I can run Q&E on the Mac OS -- I have it installed and it works fine on the Mac.

Thanks.
Chap

There are currently no plans for an ARM version.
However, you I think you should be able to run x86 apps on ARM.

Maybe you have installed the wrong version (32bit vs 64bit)?

Ok, Here is the what worked on my MacBook Pro, M2 Max chip, 32GB memory, 1TB disk, MacOS 13.0.2, Ventura, using Parallels 18 with a Virtual Machine of Windows 11.

I tried to install WYSIWYG WebBuilder 18.0.6, 64 bit, in the Windows 11 VM -- It gave an error of x64 not supported.

I then downloaded WYSIWYG WebBuilder 18.0.6, 32 bit, in the Windows 11 VM and everything installed correctly and works fine when I open my WB files.

I thought I should document this so if anyone runs into this problem, there is a solution.

Thanks!
