[Olympus developers 310]: Olympus running on Windows 7 - 64 bits

[Joana Paulo Pardal]

Hi everyone!

I found this thread on the Olympus developers mailing list.
Is there any update on this?

I've tried to use Olympus on the 64 bits architecture but it didn't work.

I tweaked the perl build to find the 64 bits version of Visual Studio in the
windows registry
(I can send it to solve the ticket: 32-bit perl can't find 64-bit registry entries)

but other than that I failed to actually run the dialogue system
(that is running ok in a Windows 7 32 bits).

Thanks for any information,
   ~ Joana P Pardal

If you really want to run it on a 64-bit OS (like I m currently
doing). I would suggest that you can customize the OlympusBuild.pm
script to point the VSBuild to the location of Visual Studio
(whichever version it is).

Thanks Matt!  I will stick with getting a 32-bit machine then.

You mention Vista or 7 would work, what about xp?

I believe we are still addressing issues with 64-bit Windows. You're
welcome to try and report what you find. I recommend you use a 32-
bit version of Windows if possible (Vista or 7 would be fine).

This is one existing open ticket related to this matter:

Yes, this would potentially be a 64 bit version of Windows 
(most likely xp).

Is this 64 bit Windows?

Hi,

I am planning to use olympus/ravenclaw for research purposes.
I need to know if there will be any issues with using this on a 64-bit
machine?

Thanks,
Anthony

The 32-bit perl modules that look at registry entries can't see the 64-bit
registry space due to the Windows on Windows registry redirection. This
means that in all of the cases in the build where you are looking
for programs you won't find any 64-bit programs. So far this has only
effected TortoiseSVN for me, but as more and more programs migrate to 64-bit
this will present a greater problem.
