You were probably getting x86 in the runtime because your current environment was x86, not x86-64 (or x64 for short).

Are you sure I just checked the advanced tools and this is what came up: Note the System Type X86-based PC OR that because of what you said above.

Alls good Windows 7 Ultimate comes with 32bit and 64bit media. So Im going to start over again! And this time install 64bit. Thanks for the valuable info JSLTIGER

Edit: All done.

My pleasure, Kiwi...hope you enjoy the 64-bit goodness!

If you have any more questions/problems, just let me know. I've been using x64 OSes for a while now (summer 2008, when I upgraded from 2 to 6 GB).
