Hi, 

All my apps are getting this warning when compiling the projects. I reviewed the online documentation for migrating 32-bit application to 64-bit applications. However, I created a fresh project with no code in it except one string label to test this, but even this empty application is getting this warning which I feel like it shouldn't since nothing in it has anything that's for 32-bit. 

Because of this, my question is will I still have this warning even though I converted everything from 32-bit to 64-bit? 

Or is it as long as I'm getting this warning, something is still stuck in 32-bit, even my fresh and blank 64-bit app?

Hi Igor;

  No ... It's an IDE default. I still get that on my STD framework 64 but projects (native, PowerClient & PowerServer) everytime I open one & deploy. I just ignore the warning now as all these projects deploy & run OK in 64 bit mode. ;-)

HTH

So essentially no matter what I do, even if everything is correctly in 64 bit I will still receive that warning?

I would report it as a bug. There is no benefit to having the message appear more than once. I'm not really sure it should appear even once.

You have GOT to have something that is 32 bit being referenced somewhere.

Start fresh/start over.
- Create a brand new 64 bit app from scratch; i.e. don't convert anything. Keep it simple.
Ensure the target and the project are set up for 64 bit apps.
Compile the new app.

What happens?

What happens if you click through the message? Does everything proceed as you would expect?

It might be that this message is ALWAYS displayed, regardless of the status of the app/exe.

Everything works fine when running, so it might be that the message is always displayed. I ended up reporting it as a bug

Hi Igor;

  I have not had any 64 bit PB App issues since using 64 bit compilation beginning in PB 12.6.

I would suggest that you give us as much of your environment details as possible

  1. Running on the development machine or a deployed machine?
  2. Running from the IDE or an EXE?
  3. How did you compiled the EXE?
  4. O/S Windows version?
  5. Exact error messages received?
  6. Screen captures of the issue(s)
  7. etc.

Many thanks in advance!

Regards ...Chris

1. Development Machine. I am using PB2022 and Build 1892.

2. Both, but the warning is occurring when I "Deploy Project".

3. I believe "Deploying Project" is the same thing as compiling right? I right click on the object, select "Deploy". If its a fresh project it tells me "there are no deployable projects in this target. Would you like to create one". This opens the Application Project Wizard. I set it as an Incremental Build, I tell it to not generate P-Code, and I set the Platform to 64-bit. I leave everything else as default / unchecked in the App Project Wizard.

4. Windows 10

5. Its not an error, just a warning in the output window. The output window has three different tabs, "default", "errors" and "warnings". Default shows successful build, errors are blank and in the warning tab i get - "To ensure the 64-bit deployment is successful, please refer to Migrating 32-bit Applications to 64-bit for the factors that must be considered".



This warning is happening on my apps and completely brand new and fresh projects that don't even have any code in it yet. What I am confused on, why is the warning showing up on a fresh and empty project if the project is set for 64bit and no code has been added to it that would cause this sort of warning.
