Re: 64bit Win7 - IBM i Access 32 or 64?

Yep. I just went through that with my wife's install on 6.1. Her XP
box croaked and she asked me for some help hooking a new
Win 7 box to her old 520 (at 6.1). It finally dawned on me that the modem
wasn't going to work when the .inf file (can't remember the name) for
the modem balked at 64. That tripped my memory and I had
her go back to an XP box so that she could get on. She's planning
on setting up the LAN pretty quick.
So much to remember!

But that is a limitation at the OS level. Direct Attach ops console
requires a weird encapsulation protocol (remember that "modem driver" it
has you install?) that was deprecated on windows 7 so even if you used
win7
32bits it wouldn't work anyways...
Besides, i'd take Lan console over Direct Attach any day, that dammed 2793
made me lose a great deal of time on multiple clients...

If I may...just remember that 64 doesn't support ops con using 2793.

I'm going to suggest you let the installer decide - run cwblaunch.exe
and you'll get the best installation.

All,

Just curious as to rather I should run the 32 or 64 bit IBM i Access

7.1

on

a 64-bit Win7 PC... (assuming running 32bit is even an option)

I had intended to run 64, but am questioning this since Office wants

to

install 32bit by default...

I assume that the Excel data transfer won't work unless Office &

iAccess

are both 32 or both 64.

Thanks!
Charles
