[Opensim-users] Question about OpenSim.32BitLaunch (Any Version)

Sun Jan 22 08:56:56 UTC 2012

Like you I was hoping to utilize my 64bit Operating System.  I installed 
as much 64bit versions of everything installed. 64bit MySQL, Apache, and 
so on.  You could use the opensim.exe, but here is what I was told the 
issue was.  I am hoping it is temporary but the ODE the best of the 
physics engines, is not in 64bit code.

So I was told use the OpenSim.32BitLaunch.
