Legacy Setup.exe Installer: Note that an EXE file can also be a non-MSI installer In other words an old-style installer not based on the Microsoft MSI format (which is a MS-SQL database stored in an office-style binary file), but rather an installation script of various formats such as Wise Script, Installscript, Inno Setup, NSIS, etc...
I would like to avoid 32-bit software if there is a 64-bit version, and I don't want to deal with any issues that could occur with using 32-bit MySQL with 64-bit MySQL Workbench, so I was wondering if there is any way to obtain a 64-bit version of MySQL on Windo. The MySQL Workbench download does not contain MySQL Community Server 8.0.21. 64 ...
Where can I download (certified) 64 bit Apache httpd binaries for Windows? Right now, there are none. The Apache Software Foundation produces Open Source Software. The 32 bit binaries provided are a courtesy of the community members.
On Windows Server 2008 64-bit, I need an .msi installer file to write some files to \windows\system32\inetsrv folder. (The files are some XML Schema validation files, that C# XmlReaderSettings.Schema.Add() expects to be in that folder). When the installer runs, the files end up in \windows\SysWOW64\inetsrv folder, not where they need to be.
My mistake. It was building the 64-bit version just fine, but I was testing an old x64 build which had not been correctly marked as x64. Once I had the x64 version building correctly, the resulting MSI was placed in bin/x64/Release but I was still testing the version in bin/Release. It pays to occasionally delete all your output files and rebuild.
A script action without that bit set will be executed in a 32-bit environment even in an otherwise 64-bit targeting MSI. That was my case. The issue at hand, as observed , was an artifact of the the way the bitness check was implemented.
When given the option, which one should one choose to download for installing software, i.e: what are the advantages of using the .msi file instead of the installer (.exe)? I do understand the difference between both, in that the .msi file is an installation package that will be processed by a Windows installer executable.
I first downloaded MinGW-w64 for 32 and 64-bit Windows from SourceForge by clicking on the green button saying "Download Latest Version". But instead of finding an installer, I received a folder named 'mingw-w64-v11.0.0' containing the following subfolders: build-aux; COPYING.MinGW-w64; COPYING.MinGW-w64-runtime; mingw-w64-crt; mingw-w64-doc ...
My best guess is, that the Installer is a certain installer provided by Oracle itself. It will contain routines to install Java as Oracle recommends it. The MSI Installer on the other hand follows a certain format as dictated by Microsoft. This ensures that you can e.g. completely uninstall the software at a later time.
Essentially the same question as MSI Installer: Conditionally include one or another file for 32 or 64-bit systems but I want to detect Windows on ARM instead of x86/x64, so I can choose one of three different files based on platform information
