Mainly I ask this because I don't want to distribute both versions, and if I need to instal a 64bit .NET on an x64 PC and a 32bit .NET on a 32 bit PC then I would need to make this check in my loader application to download the correct version for the correct PC.

If you target AnyCPU for your compilation, the app will run as 64bit on a 64bit OS, and 32bit on a 32bit OS. If you target x86, the app will run as 32bit regardless of the OS. If you target x64, the app will only run on a 64bit OS.

If you have to install the runtime from the Internet, then use the web installer. It will take care of downloading and installing the correct version on the client. This way you can target AnyCPU (or x86) and be certain that the app will run regardless of the OS.

The .NET bootstrapper automatically installs both the 32-bit and the 64-bit versions of the .NET framework on a machine with a 64-bit operating system. Nothing you have to do to tell it to do so. Avoid distributing the .NET framework yourself, you'll have a hard time keeping up with the security updates. Just tick the option in the Setup project's Prerequisites to get the bootstrapper, that will download the latest and greatest during install on the target machine, if necessary. The option is automatically ticked when you create an installer for a managed program.

The Platform Target setting in the Project + Properties, Build tab for your EXE project is relevant. It defaults to x86 in a project that was created from scratch in VS2010. There is no great reason to change it to AnyCPU for the Release build unless you need the extra virtual memory space that a 64-bit process can provide. If you do change it then do make sure to test it thoroughly. I know you've been tinkering with unmanaged COM servers, x86 is probably a hard requirement.

DeployMaster is capable of detecting the presence of the Microsoft .NET framework, and install it if necessary. For installation, you can bundle the .NET framework redistributable for the version of .NET that your application needs with your installer. DeployMaster automatically runs it as part of the installation, as needed.

We are happy to announce the Qt Online Installer and Installer Framework 4.4.0 beta releases today. There is no beta release for Maintenance Tool. Version 4.3.0 can be still used. The 4.4.0 final release is scheduled for June.

Installation of several Qt versions has resulted in long select / unselect times in the installer component view. In addition, clicking on the Next button on the page has been slow. These have been now fixed and selections can be done in hundreds of milliseconds, though the user had installed a large number of Qt versions.

One of the most time-consuming operations in the installer is extracting archives. This is simply because of the large number of component archives. We now support the parallel extraction of archives. In the command line, users can limit the maximum number of threads, used for extraction. This allows some CPU cores to e used for other important tasks.

We have upgraded the installer framework and installer to 64-bit in Windows. In 32-bit platforms, the installer framework and installer 4.3.0 can be still used. By upgrading the installer, we were able to get rid of mysterious memory allocation failures, which were extremely difficult to debug.

Precompiled binaries for the Installer Framework can be downloaded from Qt Online Installer, sources and binaries can be found also on the Qt Download page (open source) and in Qt Account for commercial users. The latest documentation can also be found online.

If you have installed a 32-bit Appeon Server on a 64-bit Windows operating system, and Appeon Server is not working properly, it is probably the 32-bit .NET framework is not configured successfully by the Appeon Server setup program. You may need to manually do the following configuration to enable it.

On July 5, 2016, Rapid7 announced our end of life plan for 32-bit versions of Windows and Linux for the commercial editions of Metasploit, which include Pro, Ultimate, Express, and Community. We set July 5th, 2017 as the last day for support for the 32-bit versions of the installers. So for the past year, updates for the 32-bit versions were still available.

Before you do anything, the very first thing you need to do is check your Metasploit instance to see if it's running the 32-bit version. Instructions will vary based on the operating system you are running. We've provided instructions for Windows and Linux below.

There are a few methods you can use to figure out if your application is 32-bit or 64-bit, but we're going to show you the easiest and most reliable way: through the Task Manager. In order to use this method, Metasploit will need to be running so that we can find Pro Service (metasploitProSvc).

If you are running the 32-bit version of Metasploit, you'll need to go to the next step: backing up your Metasploit data. If you're running the 64-bit version, you're in good shape: there's nothing else you need to do at this time.

Before you uninstall the 32-bit version of Metasploit, it is highly recommended that you back up your data. A backup basically contains a copy of everything that is in your database and allows you to easily move data from one Metasploit instance to another. Backups are OS agnostic, so you can easily move your data to a Windows or Linux system.

The contents of the database are compressed into a ZIP file and the resulting file is stored in /path/to/metasploit/apps/pro/backups. You'll need to make sure that you copy the ZIP file to another location on your system before you uninstall your existing version of Metasploit.

After you've backed up your Metasploit data and copied the ZIP from /path/to/metasploit/apps/pro/backups to another location on your system, you can uninstall Metasploit. To uninstall Metasploit, follow the instructions for your operating system.

Now that you've removed the 32-bit version from your system, you're ready to install the 64-bit version. You can download the 64-bit installer from the following location: -framework/wiki/Downloads-by-Version.

Now that you've got the 64-bit version of Metasploit up and running, you'll want to restore your backup data. A restore reverts your Metasploit server back to the state captured in a backup file. The backup files are platform independent so you can restore data from one operating system to another without any issues.

Note: The examples were done with xUnit.net v2 2.4.1, .NET SDK 5.0.102, and .NET Framework 4.8. The version numbers, paths, and generated templates may differ for you, depending on which version you're using. Note that .NET Framework 4.5.2 and later is supported.
