I installed PB 9 and FF3 on a Windows 7 (64 bits) laptop.
The installation went fine. I've configured everything (Project Properties and environment Settings). I used a sample project like Addresss Book and tried to compile and run. Th compile seemed to be fine but no executable is dilivered somewhere.

Hi Frans,

So a search for all of the CODEGEN*.* files that get created when the project compiles. Check to see if there is an EXE in the folder where those CODEGEN files are located. If it is, then there is some problem with FireFly shelling to the EXE and trying to run it. If the EXE is not there then try compiling the CODEGEN_MAIN*.BAS file to see if it creates the EXE.

Also, make sure that you have access rights to the folder where the project is located. If you don't have access rights to be able to create files (ie. most Program Files folders are write protected) then the project may seem to compile when in fact it does not.

Please let me know how you make out with this.

64-bit system in it self should not be an issue. At least it has not been so for me.
