Hi vance, I have tried a test as per the KB note. Results are similar as per previous tests…
Running a v15 app with 4Dv15.5 (64bit) as a Windows service does NOT work. Running the same app with 4Dv15.5 (32bit) as a Windows service DOES work. If I were to forgo the use of the 64-bit version of the v15.5 server, what do I lose?
