We use the Windows Installer too in production, but have a very slim load as we only use the WFS service of GeoServer. So when production is not demanting much load, the Win32 installer is just fine.
But since it cannot be created by GeoServer builds, an instruction to create i manually was added tot he documentation: https://docs.geoserver.org/latest/en/developer/win-installer.html Just to let you know…. 😉 Regards, Ronald Hoek Application Developer [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> [cid:[email protected]] [email-groene-balk] ComponentAgro B.V.

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 Le 30-10-19 à 12:14, Andrea Aime a écrit : 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.

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.
