Windows 7 64-bit and need to install both 32bit and 64bit Oracle 11g client

Hello
First I am sorry for asking what is probably a common knowledge answer from most in the forum. I just cannot find a straight forward answer searching these forums or via google.
We have Windows 7 64-bit planned as our next desktop upgrade. We have several Oracle databases, and all of the client software in our environment is 32 bit.
I want to try and be ahead of the curve so I want to deploy the latest 64-bit 11g client instead of our current client (10g 32bit).
The simple question is this: Can we actually do that with our 32bit application suite or do I need to install the 32bit client for 32bit applications side-by-side with the 64bit 11g Oracle client for future 64-bit clients?
For a follow up to that, if I do, then does anyone have good instructions on that? I found one article on this but it seemed custom and made use of the mklink command, so I have my doubts this is correct.
Thanks

Thanks for the tip. What I wonder though is should I do that or does the 64-bit client have a 32-bit layer that works with 32-bit applications or, am I forced to still deploy a 32-bit client because of my 32-bit software?
Thanks

    Should I install both 64 and 32 bit photoshop on my Vista 64 bit?

    Some plug-ins require the 32-bit version. If you are going to just use it as is, no plug-ins for devices, then th 64-bit version should be fine.

  • Problem with installing both 32 and 64bit Java7u45

    Hi all.
    For some reson we need to install Java7u45 because of an inhouse made application only runs on java7u45 32bit,
    Now to my issue, we hava about 200 windows7 x64 machines who need both 32 and 64 bit java7u45.
    If i install the 32bit the inhouse appliction works, but then other third party application will not run (SoapUI, Eclipse).
    If i install both 64 and 32 bit the inhouse application will not run, i get this error message "NativeSwing[1]: Caused by: java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: Cannot load 32-bit SWT libraries on 64-bit JVM"
    In the Java Control Panel only the 64bit java shows up, and if i try to add javaw.exe from C:\program files (x86)\java\bin it will add the correct line, and i looks ok until i close the java control panel and open it, it will still only show the 64bit java.
    So is there anyway to change the default 64bit java to 32bit and make it stick?
    Thank you.

    I have MAC OSX 10.5.8 and need to install adobe illustrator. I checked the compatibility and found that CS5 will work.Can any one help where i can find it. The trail version is fine with me as i just have to use it for couple of days till i get my mac book back from service. Can any one help me on this.

    You are welcome, ameronweb.
    To elaborate a bit, you may come across offers of a new/unopened/unregistered version, which is the simplest case (you would need a guarantee). Other cases require much detailed information (and a guarantee).
    If upgrading to 10.6.8 or higher is an option, you could use CS6.

  • Installing both Lion and Snow Leopard on my Macbook Air?

    Hey guys please help me out here. I upgraded to Mac OS X Lion the past week and while happy with the overall update, I have 1 big issue. I have a few PowerPC exclusive apps and since Lion dropped the PowerPC support, I am stranded with non working apps. So I need to create a partition and install Snow Leopard on my Mac.
    So a couple of questions....
    1) Do I need to install Leopard first and then Snow Leopard or can I directly install Snow Leopard on my Machine? I had bought Snow Leopard for 30$ and I am pretty sure at that time it asked for Leopard OS. I just want to run the apps, so if I have to go through the long route, then I'd prefer staying on Leopard.
    2) How much space should I allocate to the partition? The App which I want to run just takes about 1 GB of HDD space, so I am guessing 10GB will be enough for the thing or should I allocate more cause I don't wanna starve the mac from any virtual memory issue. The main reason I am asking is cause I have the 1st gen Air which only has a 80GB Drive and I really don't have much to spare, so please suggest accordingly.
    Please help me out here. And no there is no Intel Version of the App as it's been discontinued.

    Thanks for replying. I don't understand the last point. Why would I have to reinstall Lion back since I just want to use 2 partitions with 2 OS. Woudn't it give me an option at Booting if I keep CMD key pressed to boot from 2 drives like it did with Windows bootcamp partition?
    Quiet frankly, I just need to install the application for a week and then I plan to delete the entire partition, so I won't be extensively using it, so I guess allocating around 15GB would be sufficient. But this whole installing Lion back thing would be really annoying since I have already installed quiet a few apps and even my iPhone is now syncd with Lion... So don't want to go through the entire procedure of relocating my music and stuff again.

  • Install both 32 and 64 JVM on the same machine

    Hello
    I wanted to know if by installing both 32 and 64 JVM (on a 64 bit system, of course), would cause any damage. I have installed the 64 version, but Eclipse doesn't want to start at all, so i was hoping to make it work my installing a 32 bit version and making eclipse use it.
    I am not sure how this will affect everything, because i will be using Jboss and Glassfish.

    Then please post into the CodePlex issues

    Repair your Apple Software Update.
    Go to START/ALL PROGRAMS/Apple Software Update. If it offers you a newer version of Apple Software Update, do it but Deselect any other software offered at the same time. Once done, try another iTunes install
    If you can't find ASU in all program, you can do it in CONTROL PANEL, ADD N REMOVE PROGRAMS.

  • I downloaded Elements 11 to my laptop about 3 years ago and now purchased a new computer and need to install it.  How do I install Elements without purchasing it again?

    I downloaded Elements 11 to my laptop about 3 years ago and now purchased a new computer and need to install it.  How do I install Elements without purchasing it again?

    I have Elements pulled up on my old computer, can I find it in the program?
    No but if your old computer runs Windows then you can use the free Belarc Advisor software to extract the serial number from inside the computer.
    Belarc Advisor - Free Personal PC Audit, for software, hardware and security configuration information on your computer.…
    Tip for future reference: when buying software, always keep your serial numbers safe and handy. Don't rely on websites, the Cloud or anyone else to retrieve them for you when you need them most. They are the single most important thing you get when you buy software and they are unique to you personally.
    You can download software installers from the web any time but, without your unique serial number, you'll be stuck with using the software in trial mode.

    You cannot use a Windows machine.
    No idea if this will work because you have/had Ubuntu installed - hit Command + Option + R keys while restarting/booting up. Once in the Utilities, make sure the drive is formatted correctly and erase it, then reinstall the OS.
