Anyone running Animate on a Surface Pro X ?

[AnnieP1]

I can't get it to install.  I'm not looking to troubleshoot the issue, just wondering if someone has done it successfully or if there is an idea that it's not possible.

Hi mate,

A quick search online showed this:

"Not all 64-bit apps are compatible 

Using WOW64, an x86 emulator, ARM chips can run 32-bit apps, but not all 64-bit versions. The Surface Pro X can natively run 64-bit apps but only those that have been ported to ARM64, an evolution of ARM that supports 64-bit processing.  

Confused? Check out the fine print on Microsoft's product page for the Surface Pro X:

"App availability and compatibility may vary. At this time, Surface Pro X will not install 64-bit applications that have not been ported to ARM64, some games and CAD software, and some third-party drivers or anti-virus software. New 64-bit apps are coming to ARM 64 all the time.""

If you can obtain a copy of Flash Pro CS6, which is 32-bit it may install and run successfully. Animate is 64-bit.
