RE: Can not find 32 bit bonjour that installs on 64 bit windows so I can use bonjour with Pidgin
Thank you Tres for your reply. I agree that bonjour 2.0.2 from Apple includes both 32 and 64 bit versions (as I used the same executable to install Bonjour on my 32 bit systems), the problem is it doesn't give you the option for installing the 32 bit version on a 64 bit OS (I have both 32 bit and 64 bit Windows 7 machines on my home network and it installed the corresponding version of Bonjour on each). All the 32 bit Windows machines (3 of them), and my iMAC (64bit but has Bonjour already installed and I'm using the Messages application there) are working with Pidgin/Bonjour fine. The issue is still with my 64 bit Windows 7 system. So your statement: When you install, you will see two items in the control panel. is the part that isn't what I see. When I install Bonjour on my 64 bit system, I see one item for Bonjour (the other item is the Bonjour Print Services). When I run the installer it explicitly says Welcome to the Bonjour Print Services Installer, and lists 2.0.2.0 x64 at the bottom right near the Cancel button (with no option to modify that). Any help you can provide is very much appreciated. Regards, Mark From: Tres Finocchiaro [mailto:tres.finocchi...@gmail.com] Sent: Sunday, December 08, 2013 9:57 AM To: Mark A.

Re: Can not find 32 bit bonjour that installs on 64 bit windows so I can use bonjour with Pidgin
@Mark, My testing was done on Windows 8 64-bit . As you can see in the below linked screenshot, a *Program Files\ *as well as as *Program Files (x86)\*directory was created. The two items listed in your control panel sound accurate with mine. They have different names, but one uninstalls the 32-bit, the other uninstalls the 64-bit. http://i.imgur.com/oHhBfuP.png This should be pretty trivial. I also assume you've completely closed Pidgin and restarted it (via Tray Icon) to no avail. Perhaps someone else on the list can confirm it work with Windows 7 64-bit, since our OSs are different. -Tres - tres.finocchi...@gmail.com On Mon, Dec 9, 2013 at 12:00 PM, Mark A.

Re: Can not find 32 bit bonjour that installs on 64 bit windows so I can use bonjour with Pidgin
As they say, a picture is worth 1000 words. I see what you mean now, I was looking for two instances in the Programs Control Panel. Given what you said about closing Pidgin, I realize I hadn’t, so reinstalled Bonjour, verified Bonjour was in both directories and rebooted, just for good measure, and now all is good in the world! Thank you s much! I really appreciate the time you took to help me. Kind regards, Mark Glad it worked out! Thanks for the update. -Tres - tres.finocchi...@gmail.com On Mon, Dec 9, 2013 at 4:48 PM, Mark A. Ristich marist...@yahoo.com wrote: As they say, a picture is worth 1000 words.
