32-bit app won't run on 64-bit server

I am building a windows 2003 x64 citrix/terminal server.

We have some 32-bit powerbuilder apps that don't want to run. Our programmers are looking for a way to compile them in 64-bit, but I'm not sure if that's possible.

Is there any trick to get a non-functioning 32-bit app to run in 64-bit windows? Maybe running in an emulator or compatibility mode?



Thanks,
Andrew

What about virtual machines with 32bit os on this server to support your apps? Can you do that?
 
Ikariux,

Nope, it's already on a virtual server. Not sure if a virtual server on another virtual is a good idea :)

Mayve I could serve them as seamless citrix apps from a 32-bit server.

Thanks,
Andrew
