Barrier: Can not install Barrier on Windows 10 Home 32 bits Spanish

[navascogt]

Operating Systems

Server: MacOS Catalina 10.15.4

Client: Windows 10 Home, 32 bits, x64 processor, Spanish Language
Version 1903 (OS Compilation 18362.836)

Barrier Version

2.3.2 (BarrierSetup-2.3.2.exe)

Steps to reproduce bug

1. After downloading the most recent version of Barrier, I ran the setup.
2. After installing, leave checked the "Launch Barrier" option and press "Finish"
3. A popup window message is showed with the following information:
   Title: Setup
   Unable to execute file:
   c:\Program Files\Barrier\barrier.exe

CreateProcess failed; code 216
Esta versión de %1 no es compatible con la versión de Windows que está ejecutando. Compruebe la información de sistema del equipo y después póngase en contacto con el anunciante de software.

In english this would be the message:
This version of %1 is not compatible with the version of Windows you're running. Check your computer's system information and the contact the software publisher

Other info

• I tried with a user with administrator rights.
• Also I tried right clicking and use the "run as administrator" option without success.

I am suspecting the error is either due to the 32 bits version of the Windows or due to the Windows language because is difference than english (spanish version).

Hm, I think it states in the README.md that we don't actually support
32-bits versions of Windows. I'm sure that must be frustrating,
though..

Sorry :/

Ohhhhh I did search for the requirements before post the message, maybe was too fast that I did not read the last FAQ... Thanks for your message and reminder me to full read...
And yes, it is frustating...

[shymega]

Yeah. I think you may be able to compile it 32-bits though..

Ideally I'd like for 32-bit and Windows 7 to still be supported, as
they're still widely used for various reasons.

I'm sure it must be frustrating though.

Maybe in a future I can try to compile in 32bits... Thanks again!

[shymega]

Closing for now.

For the record, I'd like for our build infrastructure to provide 32-bit versions for Windows 7/8/8.1/10 at the very least until its proven decisively that its not needed. This issue here proves that we have some 32-bit PC users..

I mean, it's not like there is even a 64-bit windows version without wow64.
And since barrier doesn't seem the kind of software that would benefit from using GBs and GBs of memory, or whatever advanced x86-64 instruction, I don't see why you couldn't as well just ship 32bit builds for everyone.

[shymega]

It wasn't my decision. My personal view is that 32-bit builds are still useful. With regards to using GBs and GBs of memory, yes, perfectly true, in theory - but Barrier _does_ have several memory leaks.. so uh, maybe it would! :rofl:
