Just downloaded the 32bit version to install on my new Windows 8.1 64bit laptop and the installer will not start. Disabling AV (just to be safe) didn't make a difference either.
Just had re-installed 1.0.14 a couple of days ago, just fine...

Any ideas what might be going on???

In the light of FPC 2.6.4 being released today, what is the word on using the 2.6.4 compiler with Lazarus 1.2?
(I am currently running my main setup on Windows 8.1 64Bit, using the 32bit version of Lazarus as per advice on the forum)

tia,

Next Lazarus release will be built with it. That's probably 1.2.2.

AFAIK the bug was fixed, so you are free to program 64bit with fpc 2.6.4 under Windows 8.
Note: The IDE can be compiled with 32bit and you can build 64bit programs with a 32bit IDE. The 32bit IDE is somewhat faster due to less memory consumption.

Ok, now if that would be working again on the newer Mac OS X, but then I still have to do more general stuff in my project before I need to bother with getting the OS X client working... ;-)

That's what I am using right now, I just mentioned the version of Windows in case there were some things still to consider. Maybe it's just me being paranoid due to the problems I go through with getting OpenVPN working (and installed!) properly on Windows 8.1... :-(

thanks,

Ralf
