Windows 32bit Client - EOL

What

Here we want to explain the purpose of this content...i.e. what does this function do?

Note about how this impacts 15.3... and the future..

  • As the new desktop kiosk for Windows is based on 64b64bit librairies,libraries, FileWave 15.3.0 will not be supported on Windows 32b32bit platforms. FileWave Agent (fwcld) is currently still a 32b32bit executable, meaning there is no change in how filesetsFilesets are deployeddeployed, and scripts are executed.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 64b64bit application is expected to happen later this year.

When/Why

Now that we know what this function is used for, when/why would we use it?

How

And now, since we know everything else, how do we use this function to do something special?
