Does Marklogic 6.0 support windows 32 bit OS. On their home page, I see it as supported but a DLL is required but rest of thread on other sites show that 32 bit support is not there. Pls confirm..

Or is it something that Marklogic 6.0 can be installed with 32 bit but it may be best for 64 bit and certain features wont work as expected. If so, pls list such features missing.

Thanks Praveen

32-bit support is gone for good, as of MarkLogic 6. This is for the best: running in 32-bit environments was always a headache because of the limited address space.

You can still download older 32-bit versions from http://developer.marklogic.com/products/marklogic-server/5.0 - if you enjoy pain. But it's much better to set up a 64-bit environment, so that you have the latest release and don't have to worry about 32-bit limits. If you have older 32-bit software, run it in compatibility mode, or move it into a VM.

No - Marklogic 6 on Windows is only supported on 64bit platforms. From the system requirements:

  • Microsoft Windows Server 2008 (x64), Windows Vista 64-bit Edition (x64), Windows 7 64-bit (x64)*

I imagine the reference to a 32bit DLL is a holdover from previous versions.
