Tesseract and Windows 7 64 Bit

[andy_syme]

Tesseract 3 doesn't seem to work on my win7 64 bit laptop and I think
I read somewhere that tesseract 3 doesn't work with 64 bit.

So does tesseract work on 64 bit (if so what am I doing wrong)? If
not are there any plans to port it onto 64 bit?

Please be more specific: What does it mean "doesn't seem to work"? Where did read that it does not work on 64bit?

I run tesseract on 64 bit linux without problem (2.04, 3.00 version). So only problem could be that it has to be compiled on/for 64bit. Current 3.00 windows files are compiled and tested on Windows XP SP3  (32bit) in VC++ 2008. I created them and AFAIK there is only report that in requires Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 SP1 Redistributable Package (x86) [1] (old version is not sufficient).
Unfortunately I have no access to Windows 7 64bit to test if there are some issues regarding 64bit on Windows.

I have no problem running Tess 3.01 on my Win7 64-bit. I'm not sure if
it needs Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 SP1, but here's the link:

OK the environmental variables were messed up from an old install.

Now works fine

If I try the following in command prompt C:\Program Files
(x86)\Tesseract-OCR> tesseract d:\yrc\155.tif d:\yrc\test

& I get

Error openning data file C:\Program Files (x86)\Tesseract-OCR\;C:\Users
\Symes\Do
cuments\Tesseract-OCR\tessdata/eng.traineddata

I think this is to do with environment variables. I'll try tweaking
