Hello,

Thank you for your quick answer.

Damn, no luck. Sounds difficult :(

Ok, I'll try with the last version of Tomcat and deploy the Geoserver war in it. Indeed, it's for production purpose and as you say, it should be better than the 32bit option.

But for my personal information, can you tell me why it is better to use *Tomcat+war* instead of the *Platform Independent Binary* ?

Many thanks.

Regards,

JC

Hi,
the build server got attacked some months ago and had to be rebuilt, in the process we lost the
windows build server that was used to create the installer.
Now a volunteer could be doing the Windows installer manually, but we'd have to share with the person the OSGeo certificate to sign it with, and that's quite problematic, the person would have to be well known and trusted... and that is a problem, because we have no long date GeoServer developer willing to do that service on Windows anymore.

Long story short, the best option would be to setup a Windows instance on the cloud, that's managed by the GeoServer PSC... but that has a cost to both setup and manage (not sure how much)... if Windows users are interested in crowdfunding the activity,
we might look into putting together a bugdet for it.

Also, the installer ships with just a 32bit service, which is suitable only for small workloads. A better alternative for production usage is to use the Tomcat installers to setup a 64 bit service, and then install the GeoServer war in it.

Cheers
Andrea

    Hello,

    In previous version of GeoServer, I always used the Windows
    installer to easily install GeoServer. Now I would like to upgrade
    to the last version 2.16.0, but I don't see any of it, but I see
    the platform independent binary which doesn't work as Windows
    service, but as command box to let opened.

    Why there is no Windows installer ? Is it anyway better to use the
    platform independent binary ?

    Many thanks.
