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
64b64bitlibrairies,libraries, FileWave 15.3.0 will not be supported on Windows32b32bit platforms. FileWave Agent (fwcld) is currently still a32b32bit executable, meaning there is no change in howfilesetsFilesets aredeployeddeployed, and scripts areexecuted.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?
