You are right, our company bought this copy before the name was changed to Altium Designer. Sorry about the confusion. I was able to get some success replacing the problem files with files from a successful x32 install. But now the installer gives me an error message that there was a problem installing the parallel port driver and closes. I know that Protel2004/Altium Designer's parallel port driver will not work on XP x64, is there any way to get the installer to skip the parallel port driver install?

But as Darren has now alerted everyone that that was the case, it is now clear that Joshua had actually been referring to Protel 2004-cum-Altium Designer 2004, as opposed to the preceding DXP version. And I would still recommend that Joshua install SP4 for Altium Designer 2004 if at all possible. Installing that SP won't fix all of that version's shortcomings, but it still fixes some of them, so it is still worthwhile doing so. Another tip for Joshua: Can you "acquire" a "valid" copy of the SP2 version of the AdvPCB.rul file, such as from a PC which is running a 32 bit version of Windows? If you are able to copy such a file to the PC on which you are running Windows XP x64 (and to the appropriate location), maybe you could subsequently install SP4 (or if necessary, SP3, then SP4) without any further "drama".
