Installation Considerations

LANSA Version 13 SP2

Installation Considerations


It is presumed that 64-bit support is only enabled on the Build machine and that developers do not enable it. As a consequence, when 64-bit support is enabled both the 32-bit and 64-bit compiles are performed and both MSI packages are built.

You cannot compile a function which contains DISPLAY, REQUEST and POPUP commands - even the 32-bit compile will fail. This is why it is better not to enable 64-bit support on Developer's machines. If developers need to work on both RDML functions and 64-bit applications, two systems which use the same repository can be installed on their machines 

Compiler Installation

If a supported compiler is not installed before LANSA, the LANSA-shipped compiler is installed and enabled. If you install a 64-bit compiler later, you need to change this registry entry to disable the LANSA-shipped compiler:

On a 64-bit PC

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\LANSA\MicrosoftCompiler\2010\Enabled to 0.

On a 32-bit PC

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\LANSA\MicrosoftCompiler\2010\Enabled.

 

If Visual Studio is installed before LANSA, it is used as the compiler.

If the version of Visual Studio installed does not support 64-bit compiling, install a version that does. LANSA will detect it when it is next started.
