64-Bit WinBatch

 Keywords:  64 32 Bit Version WinBatch Windows Server 2003 2008 R2

Question:

What is the plan to support 64 bit? Will there be a 64 bit compiler?

Answer:

Starting with version 2011B, WinBatch and the WinBatch+Compiler are now available with native 64-bit (x64) executables. The x64 version of WinBatch or WinBatch+Compiler are available for installation whenever 32-bit WinBatch or WinBatch+Compiler is installed onto a 64-bit system. Native 64-bit WinBatch and WinBatch+Compiler are not available for installation on 32-bit only or 64-bit systems without the WoW64 (Windows 32-bit On Windows 64-bit) subsystem. However, scripts compiled with the WinBatch 64-bit compiler can be executed on x64 systems without WoW64 installed. 64-bit WinBatch is not intended for use on Itanium (IA-64) based systems and compiled WinBatch scripts cannot be executed as a native Itanium program.

NOTE: The current 32 bit version of WinBatch is supported on 64-bit Windows platforms that have WOW64 installed, which is most Windows platforms. For the most part WinBatch works better as a 32-bit process on 64-bit Windows. The exceptions being 64-bit WinPE.
