64-bit vs 32-bit installation

Hi,
I have developed .NET application on 32-bit system with Oracle 10g and works very well. When I have deployed the application on the Client server I am getting the following error
"Attempt to load Oracle Cleint libraries threw BandImageFormatException. This problem
will occur when running in 64 bit mode with the 32 bit Oracle client components installed"
I did have installed Oracle x64 bit client on the system still getting the same error. I have tried to uninstall the oracle instances and also installed ODACHome for .NET as well (64-bit). No luck so far. Is there any way that you guys know of or if anyone has come across this situation please advise me on how to over come this issue.
Thank you very much

You might need to recompile your application with 64bit Oracle libraries.

64 bit or 32 bit installation of oracle 9i - which one?

hi there - i have a sun solaris ultra 60 with 2gb ram and 32gb hdd and solaris 9-64bit on it. should i install oracle 9i 32 bit or 64 bit? Also after trying to install the 32 bit server version of Oracle 9i on the same machine we noticed a severe decrease in speed on the server but uptime doesnt show any processes taking over the machine. Any ideas? has it got anything to do with 32 bit 64 bit installation distributions for either oracle or solaris??
thanks in advance guys

If you have an instance running on it, you can query the v$version view. This will give your the 32/64 bit info.

Windows 8 64-bit: Java 7 u51 installation failure (including Java 8)

Hi,
I have been fighting for several months trying to install any version of Java > 7u51. Until Java 8u25 (probably u20), the installation almost completes but at the very end a message says "installation error" without any reason specified and Java is removed (before acknowledging the error, Java is in the list of installed program). This happens both for the 32-bit and 64-bit versions. Since Java 8u25 (probably u20 but not tried), the message is "installation error 1603" without any additional reason. Else the behaviour is the same.
I digged into almost all suggestions I found on the net, tried most of them including removing a Windows Update fix from August, disabling bitlocker (it is enabled on my laptop), running Microsoft Fixit utility and the suggestion from Can't install JRE 8u20. Nothing helped and I'm stucked with the u51. In every attempt, I removed all the installed JRE and JDK from my system before trying to install a new version, removed the left directories (failed installations leaves the directory under \Programs or \Programs x86).
I also found https://www.java.com/fr/download/help/error_1603.xml, suggesting that there was kown issues but without any further explicated, without any date (I don't know whether this is old or recent) and suggesting that there was a workaround being prepared... Precisions would be welcome!
Thanks in advance for any help.
Michel

Hi,
Have you tried the workaround presented by b200bbcb-19d0-424a-9463-d7f4ea004f29 ?
Navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre8u25 (or whatever version you're on)
Open the folder labeled "bin."
Open javacpl.exe
Go to the security tab, un-check "Enable Java content in the browser."
Run the java installer again
After installation, go back to javacpl.exe, security tab, and re-check "Enable Java content in the browser."
jp2launcher.exe bug during installation
Hope this help you.
Kind regards.

10R2 installer 64-bit or 32-bit?

Hi all,
I have some doubts here. I have an installation DVD for Oracle Database 10g R2 for HP-UX Itanium, but I am not sure if it is for 64-bit or 32-bit; it's not printed on the DVD.
I also went to the 10g download page on OTN, again it is not mentioned, not like some other platforms like Linux, Solaris and Windows. I have also checked on 9i download page and on the contrary, there are two links for both HP-UX 32-bit and 64-bit.
How should I set my assumptions? Should it be 32-bit unless mention explicitly for 64-bit. To be installed on an HP-UX Itanium IA64 (64-bit). There are also Itanium 32-bit, but I am not sure if they are quite new and Oracle did not have the installer for the architecture. Kind of confused here.
Please assist, and thanks in advance.
Regards.

You can check platforms and certification on MetaLink if you have a support contract or also at [https://metalink.oracle.com/metalink/certify/certify.istore_welcome]
For example, if I navigate through the selection screens for Platform- HP-UX Itanium and Database/Server, I see
Itanium Information
64-bit Oracle database software only supports 64-bit for Itanium. Oracle does not support running the 32-bit database on Itanium.
and then when I scroll down to the Oracle Database Product Versions selection list I see only 64bit versions of 11g, 10gR2, 10g and 9.2
Thus, there is no 32bit version of Oracle on Itanium and the 64bit version is only for 64bit Itanium.

Creation of Add-on package for 64 bit and 32 bit SAP Business One Client

Please help me creating package for 64 bit and 32 bit SAP Business One. If Add-on executable is compiled with x86 option then there is no issue of connecting Add-on with 32 bit SAP Business one and if Add-on executable is compiled with Any CPU option then there is no issue of connecting Add-on with 64 bit SAP Business one. Problems are mentioned as below
1. My Add-on uses MS ACCESS connection and the connection is read using Jet OLEDB 4.0 provider. It works fine for x86 compile mode but not when compile mode is Any CPU. I searched for the issue on Google and found a solution to change MS ACCESS connection provider to ACE.OLEDB.12.0 but again ACE provider is installed according to the Office version i.e. 32 bit or 64 bit office suite. If I install 32 bit ACE provider then Add-on executable compiled with x86 version is working fine but with Any CPU option throws error as provider is not registered on current machine.
2. Secodly, our license validation activex dll is build using vb 6.0 and therefore when Add-on executable is compiled using Any CPU option, Add-on EXE cannot read from license dll. Any suggestion, how the activeX dll can be compiled whose component can be created from for X86 compiled exe and any cpu compiled exe.
Please help because we are stuck in this issue and cannot move forward.
Thanks.

Hi Alejandro,
That is one solution but did your add on used ms access connection? if you used Jet oledb to connection string or ace oledb connection string? what if 32 bit office is installed and what if 64 office is installed? how did you found the office version in install script? after determining the office version how did you installed Microsoft redistributable for ace oledb (32 bit or 64 bi )?
I am sorry that I asked many questions but these are the problems where I am stuck with the addon installer?
Thanks

OWB 10g Release 2 from 32 bit to 64 bit on Linux

Hi guys,
I have a client who is planning to migrate their Linux server from 32 bit to 64 bit and migrate their Oracle database from 10.2.0.3 from 32 bit server to 10.2.0.3 from 64 bit server.
We have OWB 10g Release 2 (10.2.0.3) installed in the 32 bit server.
Our DBA is planning to move the entire database to the new server including the OWB repositories.
My question is,
Will the following work?
1. Install the OWB 10g Release 2 (10.2.0.3 or 10.2.0.4) 64 bit in the new 64 bit Linux 64 bit server
2. Remove all the OWB repository user schemas & roles from the database where OWB is installed
3. Install the OWB repository in the new 64 bit server
4. Import the .mdl backup of the project from existing OWB 32 bit to the new OWB 64 bit server
5. Configure the project with the new server
OR
Since our DBA is planning to move the entire database to the new server including the OWB repositories
1. Install the OWB 10g Release 2 (10.2.0.3) 64 bit in the new 64 bit Linux 64 bit server
Will I be able to access my repository that is migrated from the 32 bit server (avoiding the installation of OWB repository and importing the project and configuring the whole project in the new server) ?
Please someone shed some light on this. Your help is appreciated
Thanks in advance....

Does this mean, ... we have to install the OWB 64 bit and install a new repository in the 64 bit server?In my opinion you don't need to create new repository.
After migrating database to 64bit perform steps from Metalink note 434272.1 "How To Update Warehouse Builder 10.2 After A Database Cloning".
It is better to save the same path for new OWB 64bit software. If you install OWB into different path you need to update OWBRTPS table with new path to OWB software (look at metalink note 550271.1).

How to determine IE type(32 bit or 64 bit) in a task sequence while updating Java

How to determine IE type(32 bit or 64 bit) in a task sequence
Hi,
Currently i have to update new version of Java after removing all the previous existing version of Java by using TS in SCCM 2007.
we have both 32 bit and 64 bit browser in the environment. I am stucked in determining whether the browser is of 32 bit or 64 bit.
How to determine IE type(32 bit or 64 bit) in a task sequence so that respective java can be installed for that IE browser.
will highly appreciate quick response.
Thanks in advance.

But you also need to install JRE x86 on x64 systems, since most people actually use the 32bit browsers on x64 systems.
The detection logic is actually pretty simple -- just check the right registry hive to find the installation location of the BIN\JAVA.DLL. Both pathnames are stored in HKLM\Software\JavaSoft\Java Runtime Environment\1.7 in the registry value "JavaHome",
but the x86 path is stored in the 32-bit hive and the x64 path is stored in the 64-bit hive.

Upgrading Solaris 10 from 32-bit to 64-bit in a VirtualBox VM

Hello,
I am running 32-bit Sol 10 u5 x86 as a guest in a Sun VirtualBox (Vbox) virtual machine on a 32-bit WinXP host with 64-bit VT-capable Xeon processors, and am considering upgrading Solaris 10 to 64-bit using the latest version of Vbox (2.0.0). After installing WinXP Professional x64 and the 64-bit version of Vbox, will I have to completely re-install Sol 10 to get it to run in 64-bit, or is there some way to get it to 64-bit without a re-install? The Vbox forums suggested that I post this question on a Solaris forum, as they don't know the answer.
They apparently also do not know if Windows XP x64 is a compatible host OS on which to run 64-bit guests. They list only Vista, Linux, and OpenSolaris as supported 64-bit host OSs. Has anyone used WinXP x64 as a host for Vbox 64-bit guests? Due to policy, Vista is not available to me on my system/network.
Thank you...

The x86 installer will place both 32-bit and 64-bit code on the disk.
The loader fired by GRUB will attempt to detect the proper hardware and launch the correct kernel.
Other portions of the upgrade could conceivably cause a problem, but having the CPUs go from 32-bit only to 64-bit capable shouldn't be an issue. You don't have to make any changes.

In what way is iTunes for 64-bit windows 64-bit?

I keep finding conflicting info on this topic. There appears to be a version of iTunes for 64-bit Windows, but task manager shows itunes.exe as being 32-bit.
In what way is this installer 64-bit? Does it install 64-bit drivers for iOS devices and iTunes, but the program is still 32-bit?

The itunes.exe process itself is 32-bit (on a 64-bit install). Most of the iTunes program files are also 32-bit.
The miniplayer is 64-bit, and there are 64-bit plugins for Outlook. (You'll see those items in the iTunes folder in your "Program files" rather than in the iTunes folder in your "Program files (x86)".)
The GEAR drivers itunes uses for burning will be the 64-bit versions on a 64-bit system.
The iPod service will be 64-bit on a 64-bit system.
Apple Mobile Device Support is 64-bit (so you'll have the 64-bit Apple Mobile Device Service, and usbaapl64.sys and netaapl64.sys rather than usbaapl.sys and netaapl.sys, on the 64-bit system.)
Some of the bonjour componentry on the 64-bit install will be 64-bit.
Most everything else is 32-bit (QuickTime, Apple Software Update, Apple Application Support).
(Apologies for inaccuracies ... it's been a wee while since I checked the noir-household 64-bit Vista box for locations. The precise details of what is 32-bit and 64-bit can change between versions. For example, one of the big changes between the itunes 8.x 64-bit versions and the itunes 9.x 64-bit versions was the iPod Service going 64-bit.)

Migration from 32-bit to 64-bit on Oracle 9.2.0.5

Hi guys.
I have two question for migration 32 bit to 64 (x86_64) bits on Oracle 9.2.0.5 for SAP 4.7 Enterprise?
1.- When i migrated 32 bits to 64 (x86_64) bits is necesary migrated to Oracle 10 ?
In the note SAP Note 960769 - Windows: Migration from 32-bit to 64-bit (x86_64), say that, pag 4:
" Oracle:
=====================================
On Windows Server 2003 X86_64 (64-bit), you may only use Oracle 10g Release 2 (10.2) software for X86_64 (64-bit) as a database. Note 949116 describes the installation (homogenous system copy) of old products that were not originally released on Oracle 10g Release 2 (10.2). If you want to make the copy using the backup/restore procedure, for which the source database was not yet upgraded to Oracle 10.2, see Note 932722"
But, in the pam matrix say that support for 9.2.
I confused for the information.
2.- In the case that is not necessary to migrate to oracle 10, i can execute the migration to 64 bits the SAP 4.7 with the procedure Backup/Restore?
I don´t have the new server, the server for the migration is the same. The procedure you want to follow is:
1.- Backup Offline all server.
2.- Delete the server, i install the server on Windows 2003 64 bits.
3.- Install SAP 4.7 on kernel 64 bits.
4.- Restore de backup offline (only data): datafiles, archive log, redo log.
Aprecciated for the help.
Best regards,
Desiré

Hi,
According to Note:814834
#Note that there is currently no 64-bit support for the x86_64 platform
for Oracle 9.2 because Oracle does not provide a 64-bit DB client for this purpose,
and, in addition, 64-bit operation of the DB server is not supported.
This means that this DB version can only be used in conjunction with SAP components on
Windows 32-bit on x86_64 hardware in 32-bit mode.
For more information, refer to the "Oracle" section in the note.
Furthermore, it states 32bit SAP instance can connect ot a 32 bit Oracle 9.2 or 10.2 database instance.
So for your case, its better to upgrade your current database to Oracle 10.2 and then proceed with migration.

Does extproc for Oracle 64-bit 11.1.0.7 on Win 2003 64-bit load 32 bit DLL?

Hello
Background:
We had Oracle 11.1.0.7.0 32-bit EE on Windows 2003 32-bit EE and now migrated to 64-bit (both OS and DB) and everything worked brilliantly ok except...
Problem:
We used to be able to connect to an external application (Postcode Plus from AFD) via extproc to search postcodes / addresses etc. However, after the migration getting the error:
ORA-06520: PL/SQL: Error loading external library
ORA-06522: Unable to load DLL
The listener.ora and tnsnames.ora configuration as exactly same as what we had on 32-bit machine (except the host name).

2. When searched got a quite of lot link about extproc32 (for all versions of UNIX), but not for Windows and found this link Extproc32 installation Does that mean it is not possible to load 32-bit DLL on 64-bit Windows installation?
3. Is there any workarounds? Or am I stumped so I should now go back and reinstate the 32-bit installation?
Any input / recommendation is appreciated!!

Best practice for managing a Windows 7 deployment with both 32-bit and 64-bit?

What is the best practice for creating and organizing deployment shares in MDT for a Windows 7 deployment that has mostly 32-bit computers, but a few 64-bit computers as well? Is it better to create a single deployment share for Windows 7 and include both
versions, or is it better to create two separate deployment shares? And what about 32-bit and 64-bit versions of applications?
I'm currently leaning towards creating two separate deployment shares, just so that I don't have to keep typing (x86) and (x64) for every application I import, as well as making it easier when choosing applications in the Lite Touch installation. But I know
each deployment share has the option to create both an x86 and x64 boot image, so that's why I am confused.

Supporting two task sequences is way easier than supporting two shares. Two shares means two boot media, or maintaining a method of directing the user to one or the other. Everything needs to be imported or configured twice. Not to mention doubling storage
space. MDT is designed to have multiple task sequences, why wouldn't you use them?
Supporting multiple task sequences can be a pain, but not bad once you get a system. Supporting app installs intelligently is a large part of that. We have one folder per app install, with a wrapper vbscript that handles OS detection. If there are separate
binaries, they are placed in x86 and x64 subfolders. Everything runs from one folder via the same command, "cscript install.vbs". So, import once, assign once, and forget it. Its the same install package we use for Altiris, and we'll be using a Powershell
version of it when we fully migrate to SCCM.
Others handle x86 and x64 apps separately, and use the MDT app details to select what platform the app is meant for. I've done that, but we have a template for the vbscript wrapper and its a standard process, I believe its easier. YMMV.
Once you get your apps into MDT, create bundles. Core build bundle, core deploy bundle, Laptop deploy bundle, etcetera. Now you don't have to assign twenty apps to both task sequences, just one bundle. When you replace one app in the bundle, all TS'es are
updated automatically. Its kind of the same mentality as active directory. Users, groups and resources = apps, bundles and task sequences.
If you have separate build and deploy shares in your lab, great. If not, separate your apps into build and deploy folders in your lab MDT share. Use a selection profile to upload only your deploy side to production. In fact I separate everything (except
drivers) into Build and deploy folders on my lab server. Don't mix build and deploy, and don't mix Lab/QA and production. I also keep a "Retired" folder. When I replace an app, TS, OS, etcetera, I move it to the retired folder and append "RETIRED - " to the
front of it so I can instantly spot it if it happens to show up somewhere it shouldn't.
To me, the biggest "weakness" of MDT is its flexibility. There's literally a dozen different ways to do everything, and there's no fences to keep you on the path. If you don't create some sort of organization for yourself, its very easy to get lost as things
get complicated. Tossing everything into one giant bucket will have you pulling your hair out.

Can I switch from Win7 32-bit to 64-bit by clean installing from hidden recovery partition?

Hi all,
I'm posting from Australia.
Two weeks ago I purchased a new Toshiba laptop (http://tinyurl.com/ye6jkuq) with the following specifications:
Model: Satellite L550
Part number: PSLW8A-01101F
BIOS: V1.60
CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo CPU P7450 @ 2.13GHz
RAM: 4GB
HDD: 500GB
OS: Windows 7 Professional 32-bit (pre-installed)
My question is this:
If I use the HDD Recovery Utility (the hidden recovery partition) to do a clean re-install of Win7 Pro, will I be given the choice during the re-installation process of installing either the 32-bit or 64-bit version? Or will I not get the choice and simply be restricted to the 32-bit version that came pre-installed?
Any assistance or advice would be appreciated.
Nick

Satellite L550/011
I can't say for certain, Nick, but it would be a real surprise if Toshiba packaged the restore procedure so that you have a choice of versions.
If it matters, you should inquire at local Sales Support.

Windows 7 32-bit to 64-bit upgrade

I will be getting a Toshiba Satellite L505D-S5983 Laptop, and it has only 3gb's of DDR2 RAM, so it comes with Windows 7 32-bit, but I want more RAM, and I was going to add 2gb's more, so i could run 64-bit. Does anyone know any way I could upgrade from 32-bit to 64-bit? And if not, will the computer recognize the two extra gig's of RAM and use them, and still run 32-bit ok? Because I heard that the computer needed 3gb's of ram for 32-bit, and even if you added more RAM to it the computer wouldn't recognize it and would just run on the 3gb's already installed. I would really like an answer!

Hi BlargeMan,
As Mark said, if you would like to install Windows 7 x64 bit over x32 version, you need perform a clean installation.
Regarding the recommended System Requirements for Windows 7, please refer to this thread: Windows 7 min. system requirements.
As to the RAM in x32 bit version operating systems, if you have more than 4GB RAM, it will only recognized a portion of the physical 4GB of RAM (ranges from 2.75GB to 3.5GB depending on the devices installed, motherboard's chipset & BIOS). If you would like to know more information about this, please refer to this website.
Please Note: Since the web site is not hosted by Microsoft, the link may change without notice. Microsoft does not guarantee the accuracy of this information.
In addition, before you install Windows 7, it is recommended running Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor to check the potential issues.

Linda
