Since this has come up a few times now and people are quite confused, I just
wanted to clarify:
There is *no* 32-bit Windows version of CHIRP-next, and there hasn't been since
we started at the beginning of the year. The zip file is named "win32" because
that is what a lot of non-Windows people (i.e. me) have called the platform for
decades. However, that's not proper terminology for 64-bit windows and what was
inside that zip file is a 64-bit (only) binary. You can see it from task
manager:
I've fixed that in today's build so it's now properly referred to as "win64".
Today's installer should also run on 32-bit machines and tell the user in no
uncertain terms that 64-bit is required (if anyone has a 32-bit system around
to help confirm, I'd appreciate it). It also checks the OS version and makes
sure you're running windows 10 or later to avoid installing it only to find it
won't run.
Hopefully that will clarify things a bit for the future!
