Release Web Binary With Both 64 and 32bit support? ASP.NET

I would like to release my app with both 32 and 64bit support. I am using elmah and SQLite. Both packages have a separate binary for 32 and 64bits. I cant add both 32 and 64bit DLL. I tried adding both 32 & 64 bit DLLs with a different filename in my bin/release folder and i get an bad image format error. (I tested by running on a Window...

Is the 64bit Windows platform immature? (even if comparing 32bit binaries with 64bit binaries running on it)

I compiled an 64bit binary of ioquake3 and an SDL binary to go along with it and I noticed on Windows 7 64bit, operation, while relatively stable, it doesn't have top notch performance. An equivalent binary on 64bit Debian, runs definitely faster, and perfectly stable. And I'm thinking: with all the major manufacturers still dispatchin...

Single 32-bit MSI with 32/64-bit drivers

Is it possible to include difxapp_x86.wixlib or difxapp_x64.wixlib in same WiX setup to install a driver in both 32-bit and 64-bit machines? Background is that we have a setup which needs to be 32-bit regardless of the target platform (it's a .NET application which uses 32-bit COM components, so we must build .Net assemblies as x86). S...

TFS 2010 B2 64-bit build agent "unknown state"

Our TF Server is installed on a Windows 2008 Server (32-bit) and the build service is installed on a 2008 Server 64-bit. When attempting to get the build service going, the agent is reported as being in an unknown state. When testing connections between the controller and agent, everything is fine but it is impossible to successfully bui...

Is there any real point compiling a Windows application as 64-bit?

I'd confidently say 99% of applications we write don't need to address more than 2Gb of memory. Of course, there's a lot of obvious benefit to the OS running 64-bit to address more RAM, but is there any particular reason a typical application would be compiled 64bit? ...

Can i get any advantage from Athlon 64 3800 writing a concurrent program on Ada?

I'm limited to ObjectAda 7.2 for particular reason. Do i need to install a 64 bit OS (Win 64x in my case) to write and run such programs? ...

How to cast a void* to int in 64-bit platforms, using C?

I am a linguist in charge of a C program, so please excuse me if the answer is obvious. I have the following code: typedef struct array_s { (...) void **value; } array_t; typedef array_t *array_pt; array_pt array_new (int size) { (...) array->value = (void **)malloc(size*sizeof(void *)); } void* array_get (array_pt arr, int i)...

What are the possible pitfalls in porting Psyco to 64-bit?

The Psyco docs say: Just for reference, Psyco does not work on any 64-bit systems at all. This fact is worth being noted again, now that the latest Mac OS/X 10.6 "Snow Leopart" comes with a default Python that is 64-bit on 64-bit machines. The only way to use Psyco on OS/X 10.6 is by recompiling a custom Python in 32-...

How well does D support 64 bit?

I'd like to try out the D programming language. I have simple pet project I've been meaning to finish and I thought it would be good opportunity to learn D 2.0. However, my primary OS is kubuntu 64bit dual booting with Windows 7 64bit and I can't seem to get it to work. The project will use SDL and I suspect my 64 bit OS might be the ...

Are 64 bit programs bigger and faster than 32 bit versions?

I suppose I am focussing on x86, but I am generally interested in the move from 32 to 64 bit. Logically, I can see that constants and pointers, in some cases, will be larger so programs are likely to be larger. And the desire to allocate memory on word boundaries for efficiency would mean more white-space between allocations. I have al...

C#: Access 32-bit/64-bit DLL depending on platform

Hi, we use a self-written 32bit C++ DLL from our C# applications. Now we've noticed that when the C# applications are run on a 64bit system, the 64bit runtime is automatically used and of course the 32bit DLL can not be accessed from the 64bit runtime. My question is: is there a way of using the 32bit DLL? If not, if I created a 64bit ...

Windows7 WAMP 64-bit stack MySQL problems

By using this guide here -> http://www.elxis.org/guides/developers-guides/64bit-apache-php-mysql-windows.html And hacking through the errors and issues that came up, I've got an apache, php, and MySQL stack almost working on Windows 7 - all 64 bit. PHP and apache are working just fine, and phpinfo tells me that mysql support is enabled...

How do I use 64-bit Java ODBC driver with a Access database on Windows 2008?

For years, on 32-bit systems I have never had a problem. Why can't I use 64-bit Java ODBC driver with a Access database on Windows Server 2008? Is the ODBC driver on a 64-bit system written in 32-bit code or something? Here is the error I see, using a 64-bit JDK1.6.018 : java.sql.SQLException: [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] The sp...

MySQL ODBC 32 vs 64 bit

I have a 32-bit application that must run on a Windows x64 server using a 64-bit version of MySQL. Should I use a 32-bit ODBC driver or a 64-bit ODBC driver? Or should I install a 32-bit version of MySQL too? ...

MAPI Windows 7 64 bit

I've got a legacy application that creates an email message with an attachment. The code uses the MAPI interface to create the message. This code has worked for quite some time. When the application is run on a Windows 7 64 bit machine, the call to MAPILogon fails with a generic error code. Is there an incompatibility with MAPI and Win...

On Mac OS X in C++ on a 64-bit CPU, is there a type that is 64 bits?

I can't use "long long"; what should I be using? ...

Windows 32 or 64 bit using HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\WOW6432 Node

I'm looking for a very simple way of determining if the version of Windows the customer is using is 32bit or 64bit. I know there are ways using .NEt but I'm looking to avoid them. I simply want to use something similar the below pseudo code and want to know if this method can be reliable. If Registry Key exists (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Softw...

How can I compile 64-bit Mac programs with Free Pascal?

I have an x86_64 library on my Mac compiled by GCC, and I want to link it with Pascal code compiled with Free Pascal 2.4. What options do I give to fpc to make it generate 64-bit code? Without any options, I only get 32-bit .o files. I'm using the fpc-2.4.0.intel-macosx.dmg download from SourceForge, but when I run fpc -i, the only targ...

Making a 64 bit shared library that dynamically links to a 32 bit library on Mac OS X Snow Leopard

Update: After some more reading I see that this problem is totally general, you can't mix architectures in the same process, so 64 bit Java cannot dlopen() a 32 bit library like FMOD. Is there any possible workaround for this, keeping in mind I'm writing my own C interface to the FMOD library? I need to make a 64-bit dylib on Max OS X b...

64-bit Quicktime Question

Does anyone out there know if there is a way to pull raw, still-compressed audio and video samples out of a Quicktime .mov file using an Apple API / Framework targeting the Mac that can be compiled natively in 64-bit (IE: QTKit)? I know this functionality is available in Apple's QuickTime Framework that targets the Mac, but this Framewor...
