Re: cannot install 64bit Net SDK 2.0 Beta

How can I upgrade my existing WinXP to 64-bit version?

Why it is not possible to run 64-bit .Net on top of 32-bit WinXP?

If I try to compile for 64-bit platform I get errors indicating that
mscorlib and other .net assemblies are not for target processor.

What is planned?
