Re: [Framers] FM2019 - 32/64-bit?

Mon, 24 Sep 2018 13:54:11 -0700

You're right. It's not the script itself that might differ between versions, but the code that interprets it might not work quite the same. Not intentionally, but .. well .. sometimes code just doesn't work right.  :-)
If the 64-bit version didn't work the same as the 32-bit version for the same script, that would be a bug in FM, not a problem with the script.

This is probably a stupid question, but my understanding is that a
scripting language is pure text interpreted by whichever interpreter (in
this case ExtendScript) is installed. If that's the case, does it matter
which version of FM you create the script in? Does the 32-bit version have
different command words and variables or syntax from the 64-bit?

NB: Not a scripter of any sort, haven't looked to see.

Thanks Ian.

Yeah .. I suppose if something is broken in the 64-bit version and it's
working in the 32-bit version, that might be a reason to use it. But if
all's working as expected, I'm just not seeing a reason to use the
32-bit version.

I suppose someone could be using a 32-bit version of Windows, and want
to install FM2019 .. but really? I guess we'll just have to wait and see,

Scott,


There may be a need to run the 32 bit version if you run into

ExtendScript ScriptUI bugs that are only present in the 64 bit version.
Hopefully this is a temporary problem...

FM2019 is available as 32-bit and 64-bit. That forum post is talking
about FM2017.

The main reason to run the 32-bit version of FrameMaker is that there
is no 64-bit version.

If/when you upgrade to FM2019 (or beyond), would any of you be using

the

32-bit version? As a plugin developer, I'm thinking that I'll only

support

64-bit FM. Is there a reason to support both?

Yes, I've heard that some people will need to run 32-bit FM due to

legacy

applications .. are there any other reasons?rs.com
