Solution 1
No, you need to run it under a 64-bit version of Windows. Alternately, if your hardware supports it you can install Windows 7 x64 in a VM (Virtual Machine) and then run the app on it.
See the following threads for details:
Solution 2
You can't run them directly on a 32-bit OS, but if the CPU is capable of 64-bit operations (most of recent CPUs are), you can use VMware Player and install a 64-bit guest operating system.

I have a program that is designed for a 64-bit OS, but I only have a 32-bit OS at the moment. Is there any way to convert the program to 32-bit or install the 64-bit program on a 32-bit OS?

Ramhound over 11 yearsThe simple solution would be to use the 32-bit version of the program. If there is no 32-bit version of the program then your only choice is to use a 64-vit version of the operating system. ANY Windows 7 License allows you to install either one.
