Alternate Startup Mode
PROLIN Power Server is shipped with several executables, allowing it to run as either a 32-bit or 64-bit process.
Executables
| Executable | Description |
|---|---|
| pps.exe | Platform independent version. Runs as a 32-bit process on 32-bit platforms or as a 64-bit process on 64-bit platforms. |
| pps-x86.exe | Represents the 32-bit version. Runs on both 32-bit and 64-bit platforms as a 32-bit process. |
| pps-x64.exe | Represents the 64-bit version. Runs only on 64-bit platforms as a 64-bit process. Cannot run on 32-bit platforms. |
Although platform-specific versions provide a small startup performance benefit, in most cases it is recommended to use the platform independent version.
However, in specific cases — such as backwards compatibility with older versions of PROLIN Power Server — you may need to enforce running the software as a 32-bit process on a 64-bit Windows platform.
Running as 32-bit on a 64-bit Platform
Open a Command Prompt with Administrator privileges and run:
pps stop
pps uninstall
pps-x86 install
pps-x86 start (or pps start)Running as 64-bit on a 64-bit Platform
To enforce the 64-bit version, run:
pps stop
pps uninstall
pps-x64 install
pps-x64 start (or pps start)
