Windows 32bit Client - EOL

What

As the new desktop kiosk for Windows is based on 64bit libraries, FileWave 15.3.0 will not be supported on Windows 32bit platforms. FileWave Agent (fwcld) is currently still a 32bit executable, meaning there is no change in how Filesets are deployed, and scripts are executed with this initial change. 

When/Why

Windows 32bit has long been on the way out. Because it can only handle 3.5Gb of RAM there has long been a lot of progress to get away from it by customers. 

How

At first the Kiosk in FileWave 15.3.0 will be 64bit, and in a future release the entire agent will transition. Moving to a 64bit application is expected to happen later this year.
