How about a 32-bit installer?

PostTue Nov 11, 2014 11:19 am

The installer which downloads is only for 64-bit PC I assume - it didn't worked on my 32 oldie.

Anywhere,I can find one?

Fusion requires Windows 7 64-bit or Windows 8 64-bit as outlined in the Software Requirements on page 3 of the user manual. We do not have a 32-bit installer package.

Well, I remember there was a 32 bit download link on Eyeon's site,so a 32 version was available ,or...?
I was just going to go for a eval license when the change to BMD happened.
Are you saying 32 bit version is dropped now by BMD?

p.s
I don't have the user manual ,is it available for download anywhere?

Wouldn't be surprised, it needs a lot of RAM to work properly and 32 bit Windows is limited to 4GB, so why bother going forward supporting a crippled version.
From what I can see 32bit looks like it was dropped when version 7 came out in June which is before BM took over

The manual is on the BM support section, go to the support page, choose Fusion and it's there

No, the 32 bit version was available for download on Eyeon site until the last day before the site went down couple days ago and the release notes stated there are two versions as well.

BMD dropped it,I'm not sure this is a good move.There is too many 32 apps still out there and too many dudes and gals trailing with old systems ,one reason or the other.

Whatever,thanks for your help

Well as they are recommending a minimum of 8GB of RAM there would be no point in having a 32bit version. I suspect they've dropped it partially for that reason and so they don't have to keep 2 versions of code running. BM probably expect people to be running 64bit Windows these days as 64bit Windows has been pretty stable since Vista which is 7 years old and nearly all modernish 32bit programs should run on 64bit Windows
