Thanks Ruurd.
That's interesting. If you had the 32-bit version installed and then
started the 64-bit installer, the installer would detect the installed
ooRexx. It would then attempt to execute the the 32-bit uninstaller from
the 64-bit process space. This wouldn't work.
I guess it would be the same going the other way.
In this case, you would need to run the current uninstaller first, before
starting the installer. The uninstaller program would be the same bitness
as the running rxapi and should have no problem stopping it. Actually, it
first tries to stop the service using the service manager calls. I think
those calls should work even if rxapi was 32-bit and the process was 64 bit.
The installer used to have some loop holes where if rxapi was not stopped,
the installer just continued on. I think I have those fixed so that if
rxapi is not stopped, the installer will not continue.
We need to point out in the installation notes or read me files that on
Windows if you have ooRexx installed and are going to install a new version
that is not the same bitness as the installed version, you need to do it in
two steps. You need to first run the stand alone uninstaller and then run
the installer.
