Good afternoon,
I am considering upgrading my current version of Orthanc (running on Windows) and would like to determine what version and bit level the current Orthanc is. Can someone explain how to determine this?

I am planning on upgrading and integrating the PostgresSQL but need to determine a few things.  First the current version and bit level and if it is possible to upgrade from a 32 bit version to a 64 bit version.

Thank you.

Seems to me that the list of version is available on the download page:

To upgrade from 32bits to 64bits, Just stop the 32bits version, install the 64bits and restart.

Thanks for the reply, but I think I need to clarify the question.

How do I determine the version and bit level of an existing Orthanc installation running on a Windows platform?

Thanks again.

Hello,

To determine the version of a running Orthanc, use the "/system" URI. For instance, if Orthanc is running on the local computer, open the following URL with a Web browser:

To determine whether Orthanc is 32 or 64 bit, see the following page:

Note that I have just installed the new 64 bit version of Orthanc 18.... Task Manager shows the OrthancService as a 32 bit app and the Lightweight RESTful DICOM server for medical imaging is 64 bit. Not sure which one is pertinent to running the plugin .dlls.

The OrthancService is just a "launcher" for the Orthanc Process.  The one that counts is the 64bits Orthanc process so you must use 64bits dll.
