Generating and deploying 64-bit applications
WINDEV allows you to automatically generate and install a 64-bit application. Creating an executable in 64-bit mode To create an executable in 64-bit mode: - Create a specific project configuration for 64-bit. For more details, see Project configuration. This project configuration contains all the elements of your project.
- If necessary, select the created project configuration.
- Expand in the quick access buttons and select "Generate the 64-bit Windows executable (.exe)".
- Follow the different steps of the wizard for executable creation.
Remark: By using a project configuration specific to the 64-bit mode, the executable and all the files required by the executable will be generated in a specific directory. Installing a 64-bit application To install a 64-bit application, WINDEV proposes two modes: - Installing the 64-bit application only
This mode is used to generate the setup program for the 64-bit application only. To create the setup program, on the "Project" tab, in the "Generation" group, click "Setup procedure" (the 64-bit configuration of the application must be selected). The wizard for creating the setup procedure is automatically started (see Wizard for creating the setup program). Remark: The setup program of the 64-bit application is a 64-bit program. - Installing the application in 32-bit or 64-bit mode (with adaptation according to the deployment system)
WINDEV allows you to create a unique setup containing both the "32-bit" application and the "64-bit" application. The version to install will be automatically selected according to the operating system of the user. Let's take a look at this option.
Combined 32-bit/64-bit setup To perform a combined 32-bit/64-bit setup: - Generate the executable and the 32-bit setup procedure.
- Display the 32-bit configuration if necessary:
- from the "Project explorer" pane.
- on the "Project" tab, in the "Project configuration" group, click "Manage configurations".
- Generate the executable and the 32-bit setup procedure: click in the quick access buttons.
- Generate the executable and the 64-bit setup procedure.
- Display the 64-bit configuration if necessary:
- from the "Project explorer" pane,
- on the "Project" tab, in the "Project configuration" group, click "Manage configurations".
- Generate the executable and the 64-bit setup procedure (click in the quick access buttons.
- Generate the combined setup: on the "Project" tab, in the "Generation" group, click "Setup procedure" and select "Generate a combined 32-bit/64-bit setup". The following window appears:
- Specify the paths of the different setup programs (WDF files of 32-bit and 64-bit setups). If these files are not created or updated, you have the ability to re-generate the different setups.
Remark: The help about the new features displayed during the setup can be modified. - In the next step, specify the options for generating the combined setup:
- single generation directory.
- directory cleared before generation.
- directory for creating the combined setup.
- compression format of combined setup (Zip or 7Z).
- Validate.
- If you have requested the generation of setup programs, validate the different wizards for generating the executable and the setup program.
- The combined setup program is generated.
Remarks: - The combined 32/64-bit setup is not available for the multisite setups.
- The history of versions defined for each setup program is supported: you can go back to a previous version of the software.
- The signature of combined setups is available: each setup can be signed.
- Setup media: each installation must have a unique directory as setup media.
- The setup program of the 32-bit application is a 32-bit program. The setup program of the 64-bit application is a 64-bit program.
- The combined 32/64-bit setup can use different and custom setup programs. Simply select the "WDF" file that corresponds to the desired setup program.
