ok, I modified the installer to allow 32 bits installation on a 64 bits machine but print a warning message to the user that he will have better performances using the 64bits version. I now have a conflict when installing both 32 and 64bits packages on the same machine because they install : - same Mixxx startup menu shortcut - same Mixxx desktop shortcut - same Mixxx manual startup menu shortcut - same Mixxx startup menu subfolder - same uninstall entry in preferences->program uninstall I have 2 ways to deal with this : 1) always append (64 bits) on 64bits shortcuts, directory and uninstall entry. I think this is a nonsense for 64 bits users that do not want to install 32bit version 2) forbid 64 bits installation if 32bits version is already installed and vice-versa. This will lead to the impossibility to install woth 32 and 64 bits versions of Mixxx on the same computer. My preference goes to #2 because I don't see any use case to have both 32 and 64 bits installed on the same computer, except for a developper that can tweak his registry to allow this to happen. Any thoughts ? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Get Mixxx, the #1 Free MP3 DJ Mixing software Today http://mixxx.org Mixxx-devel mailing list Mixxx-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/mixxx-devel
