Begs the question,,,, how much space do you allow for windows operating system? They usually grow over time.... big time KC In a message dated 5/31/2010 6:18:11 P.M. Central Daylight Time, gro...@amibroker.com writes:
Hello, Yes, generally speaking any application no matter if it is 32 bit or 64 bit can be installed anywhere, of course assuming that setup programs gives the user the choice of installation folder. Myself, I am installing programs on disk "F:" . "C" is my system drive and I only have Windows installed there and nothing more. I have 32-bit AmiBroker installed into "F:\AmiBroker\" and 64-bit AmiBroker installed in "F:\AmiBroker64\" Best regards, Tomasz Janeczko amibroker.com On 2010-06-01 01:07, Keith McCombs wrote: TJ -- Does this mean that 64-bit version may be installed in any folder in a 64bit system, not just c:\Program Files\? If so, is that true for all 64bit programs or is AB64 a special case? Sorry, yes, I know its a bit off topic. And you're not here to support anything other than AB. But, I don't know who I could trust more. Thank you. -- Keith On 5/31/2010 08:20, Tomasz Janeczko wrote: Hello, AmiBroker 5.30.1 64-bit edition (experimental) is now available for download from: _http://www.amibroker.com/x64/_ (http://www.amibroker.com/x64/) This is experimental version *only* for people running 64-bit Windows and wanting to utilise *more* than 4GB of memory. 64-bit version does NOT offer anything more, just ability to access more memory. It can (and should) be installed into *separate* folder, so it does not overwrite 32-bit edition (if installed). This version includes only 2 plugins: CMAE and IB (interactive brokers) plugin. 64-bit version of IQFeed plugin is in the works and it will arrive later. Note that regular users, even running 64-bit Windows should rather run regular, 32-bit version of AmiBroker as it offers more compatibility and was tested on way more installations. Please note that 64-bit version has BETA/experimental status and in case of problems you should use 32-bit version instead. Best regards, Tomasz Janeczko amibroker.com
