MIT's Scheme does not work on 64-bit Vista

This is not really a question, more of a pointer which might be useful to others in my situation.

The version of Scheme provided in the course page at http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/Electrical-Engineering-and-Computer-Science/6-001Spring-2005/Tools/detail/windowsinstall.htm does not work on my 64-bit Vista, and it seems there is no plan to work on this in the future (http://www.mail-archive.com/mit-scheme-devel@gnu.org/msg00161.html).

Alternatives I know of are: 1. For a desktop application like the above, there is PLT Scheme (http://download.plt-scheme.org/). It doesn't have a 64 bit version either, but the 32 bit version gets installed successfully.

  1. Online REPLs. Two that I know of are Google's Lord of the REPLs: http://lotrepls.appspot.com/ and SISC: http://sisc-scheme.org/sisc-online.php

Hope that helps.

Regards, Sundar

Dang, didn't realize this was a Markdown space. Here's the same post better formatted:

I've installed PLT Scheme on Windows 7 with no problems (so far).
