I am confused by this. I am currently using W32TeX as a minimal TeX 
installation [0] that is used by another application (so not TeX Live as 
installed by [1]). You can see from the update script [2] that I use that I 
download ...



In the case of W32TeX, please use files in the folder win64. In the case of TeX 
Live, please use
files in the folder TLW64.

In W32TeX, binaries are latest ones, but large number of packages and fonts are 
missing.

Best,
Akira

Thanks, that is very helpful.

I am confused by this. I am currently using W32TeX as a minimal TeX
installation [0] that is used by another application (so not TeX Live as
installed by [1]). You can see from the update script [2] that I use
that I download

{dvipdfm-w32,web2c-lib,web2c-w32,xetex-w32}.tar.xz

Are you saying that I should use the files in the TLW64 with this TeX
tree, or download

{dvipdfm-w64,web2c-w64,xetex-w64}.tar.xz and also the web2c-lib.tar.xz
from the above list?

Philip,

The URL I would give is the same you you have mentioned. The win64 
folder is towards the bottom of the list, the directories are not 
sorted together, but everything is sorted, but with case sensitivity. 
So TLW64 comes way before win64.


Bobby



Ah, thank you Bobby.  I supposed that I am used to seeing directories 
("folders") clustered together either at the top or at the bottom of a 
directory listing, and failed to realise that in this instance files and 
directories are intermixed.

folder is towards the bottom of the list, the directories are not sorted

The other is location is present in the various mirrors (such as Ring Server 1)

Which location should I be getting 64 bit binaries from?



TLW64 folder is for TeX Live. win64 folder is for W32TeX.
TeX Live and W32TeX differs in directory structure and versions of binaries.
Please use files in TLW64 folder for TeX Live and don't use files in win64 
folder.

Best,
Akira

Following the w32tex.org link to Ring Server 1 
, 
I see no mention of a "win64" folder, while I do see a TLW64 directory 
; 
could you give the URL at which the "win64" folder is visible, please ?

[XeTeX] 64-bit binaries

[Bobby de Vos]

Greetings,

I noticed that there are two download locations for 64 bit binaries
mentioned at http://w32tex.org/

One is in a section called /64bit Windows binaries for TeX Live/ and
links to https://ctan.org/tex-archive/systems/win32/w32tex/TLW64

The other is location is present in the various mirrors (such as Ring
Server 1) in the win64 folder.

Which location should I be getting 64 bit binaries from?

Thanks, Bobby
