The question you have to ask when you decide to download the 2014 version of our products is: Which platform do I download? 32 bit or 64 bit? Most people with a 64 Bit OS will probably download the 64 bit version, but is this the correct choice? It may not be, depending on your […]
Tag: 32 bit
All SAPIEN Software will be 64 bit
With some of our smaller free tools, for example PrimalPad, we started creating 32 bit and 64 bit versions quite some time ago. There is no capacity reason for a text editor to be 64 bit, after all, your script probably won’t exceed 4 GB anytime soon. Users of our current versions know that, PrimalScript […]
PrimalScript 2012: What’s new? (Part 5)
As promised last time we take a look at the new version of the Object Browser in PrimalScript 2012. As soon as you click on the PowerShell node you will notice two things: It opens a LOT faster.

As software transitions from 32 to 64 bit you need a development environment that works on BOTH sides, […]
Moving to 64 bit: Running a 64 bit PowerShell console inside PrimalScript 2009
PrimalScript 2009 is a 32 bit application, so by default it uses the 32 bit version of PowerShell even on a 64 bit machine for the embedded console. If you are dealing with mostly 64 bit server software you may want to make the embedded shell use the 64 bit version of PowerShell. The default […]
Moving to Windows 7: 32 or 64 bit
Just recently I had to replace the hard drive in a friends notebook. Since everything has to be installed from scratch anyway, the friend asked that I install Windows 7 (RTM for now) and asked if he should go with the 64 bit version. I know a lot of folks recommend that you should immediately […]
Registry access from 32 to 64 bit and back
Just recently, I received an email asking how you can access the 64 bit registry from a 32 bit script, or vice versa. The task the individual was facing was to come up with a way to verify installed applications via checking the corresponding Windows Installer registry entries. For a C++ programmer with access to […]
