Well, I didnt even think about such a scenario while talking to Trivandrum usergroup members regarding 64 bit Windows. My intention was to help the UG members to prepare for 64 bit migration & development. Is there any one who can help me to migrate (?) to 16 bit:) My requirement was simple (at first). Just to invoke .NET component from third party windows application, which provides some interfaces ( DLLs). I have created a win32 dll, which uses CCW to call managed components. Unfortunately the third pary appplication was not able to detect my 32bit bit dll.

I gave my application exe to my colleague (Depends.exe), he failed to open the same. Third party application is 16-bit:) Now time to search for a 16 bit compiler. Downloaded & Installed Visual C++ 1.52. Thanks to MSDN team since still they keep 16 bit version. I dont know my plans (16 -Bit -> 32 bit -> Managed) will workout. Microsoft says generic thunking will work for NT/2000. Lets see.
