There are a very few things that one or the other does slightly differently, and probably only the Intel compiler knows what they are. AMD64 completely caught Intel by surprise, they were trying to push everyone to Itanium. And when AMD came out with a very fast, very compatible, 64-bit processor that MS agreed to support, Intel basically had no choice but to clone it and play catch up. They've done a good job of that, but AMD had seriously eaten in to their server business for a while. > No, you don't want to do that; the setupx64.cmd batch file is the > 64-bit version of the 32-bit dqsd-nnnn.exe installer.

The key to Bill's problems were the requirement for full administrative privileges, I'm sure. (I _thought_ that was called out in the readme, but maybe not. Have to look.) And the requirement that the setupx64.cmd file run from the same drive letter as your system drive. (or, more accurately, as your %programfiles% drive.) > > Sorry to hear about Windows 7. We could look into what's breaking, I > wouldn't give up so soon... :) Well, it's going to RC soonish, from the sounds of it. I had it on build 7000 (the widely available public beta build) on a machine that was an update from Vista where it was working. It loaded fine (but the colours are all different again, so we need to deal with that), but as soon as you clicked on it, Explorer crashed. Couldn't even unload it - the attempt would crash it and it would reload with explorer. As I mentioned, the colours are all different in Win7, so we need to either recreate the work we did for Vista (not hard, but might be a bit of a nuisance because the bar is a lot taller by default), or come up with a way to better handle this on the fly, picking up our colours from the environment. This is especially the case in Win7 since the task bar changes colour and transparency along with the window theme. (Oh, and the bar also does the Aero thing just like window boarders do if you have an aero theme selected.) But Win7 is the death knell of the task bar as we knew it. It's changed. A lot. I still think that the way forward is a Vista gadget. This is MS's official way to add this kind of utility to Windows and they're less likely to break it than the taskbar. Also, the server version of Win7 is 64-bit only, and this may well be the last and final 32-bit client version. So we need to move to 64-bit as the core if we're going to run as an Explorer DLL. (Gadgets free us from that requirement, by the way. ) > > - Kim > Charlie. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Create and Deploy Rich Internet Apps outside the browser with Adobe(R)AIR(TM) software.
