Default Re: OE 64-bit or what?


There's a 32-bit loader in the (x86) directory, but it's only job is,
apparently, to load the 64-bit version. As to why they _appear_ to have
provided a 32-bit version, but then didn't? Sorry, you'll have to get that
answer from someone inside MS, and I doubt anyone who actually knows is
monitoring this NG. But we had a discussion about this very thing last week
and were reliably informed that there isn't really a 32-bit version.

It seems they did provide a 32 bit version, see previous discussion.

Charlie is correct there is no 32bit version of OE in the product.
As for a reason, all I can say is it was removed for a valid reasons and it
was the correct course of action.
