Hello,
Trying to upgrade to VMWare player I of course downloaded the current 32-bit/64-bit combination version for Windows as well as the 32-bit version for Linux .bundle-file (the latter is marked .i386 somwhere in the filename).

But trying to install both (the Windows one in XP and the Linux one in Zentyal) I experienced complaints of the installers both times that: on or more of the CPU's misses the 64-bit extensions required. Weird. Yes of course these extensions are missing. I am installing on an AMD Athlon 2600+ XP CPU-ed Acer desktop from years ago which is supposed to be 32-bit indeed. I supposed the combined installer for Windows would automatically switch to 32-bit version install and the Linux installer script/bundle I specifically downloaded for 32-bit (and there is that i386 in the filename). Am I wrong here or are the installers?
kindest regards

A 64-bit CPU is required for Player 4.0. The i386 installers are for 32-bit host operating systems, not for 32-bit hardware.
Thanks for the fast answer.
I fine distinction between the 64-bit/32-bit different requirement for (hardware) CPU versus Host OS indeed, I say.
I will revert to pre v4 versions on that old Acer desktop with Athlon 2600+ XP CPU then. Thanks once again.
kindest regards
