The bad: Wrapper.conf seems to not get an update from wizard mode. Maximum memory was still default of 192 and not the 512 I had set. If I do a new install and configure it manually rather than using the wizard, after a node reboot I can see the changes. A reboot after the wizard install does not. The unfortunate: The installer does not see existing 64 bit java installs under the Vista OS. The option to install java only installs the 32 bit java. This works and allows the install to complete but now you have both 32/64 bit jre's. The messy workaround: After the node is installed and working, shut it down. Uninstall the 32 bit java. Start-run-cmd, then cd to %windir%\syswow64. There create three symbolic links to the 64 bit java in %windir%\system32. mklink java.exe ..\system32\java.exe mklink javaw.exe ..\system32\javaw.exe mklinik javaws.exe ..\system32\javaws.exe Restart the node. (I believe these links will break if java is ever updated and need to be recreated manually at that point in time.) Thoughts: The installer cannot be spoofed by the symbolic links alone, only after a completed install is done can the freenet software be ran under a 64 bit java. Could the installer be revised to detect a 64 bit OS? Also adjusting for 64 bit java detection and it's possible download accordingly? The options to make changes to the wrapper don't happen when using the wizard. Can this be fixed or should it be removed and then after the node is up remind the user to adjust memory usage if he/she wants and then to reboot the node. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Charset: UTF8 Note: This signature can be verified at https://www.hushtools.com/verify Version: Hush 3.0 wkYEARECAAYFAkoEdtIACgkQDAg0OvA3V4C0RQCgq6U0+g9qAPyp6rSo65kAB61OxxQA n2oUjbguM/91Bphs8q1+xida9mPt =WPXP -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- Get information on currency trading.
