Installation of connection server 4.6 on windows server 2003 sp2 32bit

[sivakumarssm]

Hi,

I try to install connection server 4.6 on windows server 2003 sp2 32bit VM, I got the following error

vmware-connectionserver-x86_64-4.6.0-366101.exe is valid, but is for a machine type other than the current machine

Processor: Intel(R)Xeon(TM)CPU 3.60GHZ, and i configured 2GB RAM with PAE.

Expecting your help to solve this error.

Thanks in advance

You are trying to use the 64bit installer, download the 32bit installer instead and it should be fine.

In file name it shows both X86 and X64 is valid, how to know whether it is 32 bit installer or 64 bit installer

[a_p_]

The installation guide mentions the two different files

VMware-viewconnectionserver-4.6.0-366101.exe (32 bit)

VMware-viewconnectionserver-x86_64-4.6.0-366101.exe (64 bit)

which can be downloaded from http://downloads.vmware.com/d/details/view_460_premier_en/ZEB3YnRkaGpiZCpqdw==

But I agree, the filename might be misleading.

a.p is correct. To tell the difference, only the 64 bit one has 64 in the filename. x86 doesn't mean 32 bit. For a very long explanation see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X86-64
