64-bit SUN java for Windows 64-bit x64?

[tombo_larsen]

Hi

Anyone who knows if SUN has released a 64-bit version of SUN JDK 1.4.x to be used on a Windows x64 installation?

I haven't been able to find it, but SAP's PAM tells that SAP NW04s is supported for SUN JDK 1.4.2 x64 Windows!

Best regards

Hello,

I'm trying to install IDES 4.7 Retail on a 64-bit Dual XEON machine on Windows 2003 Enterprise x64.

I have used the AMD64 version of JDK 1.4.2, but I don't think it's helping. The first time I ran JDK 1.4.2.13 AMD64, the java setup threw a warning/error that the architecture is not compatible. It worked fine the next time I ran it.

MS SQL 2000 has installed itself as a 32-bit version!! And later on, SAPINST failed to install when running the file setup.cmd (from installation CD #5039652) -- it uses JAVA_HOME to detect the processor's architecture and it looks for AMD64 directory inside the installation directory, which does not exist (only I386 exists).

Questions:

1) Is XEON 64-bit compatible with IDES 4.7 Retail?

2) Is there a compatible version of JDK 1.4 for XEON 64?

3) Is it safe to use JDK 6 and will other applications/installations see the system as a 64-bit machine?

4) Do certain Windows updates/patches/hotfixes affect any of the installations?

Thank you

Hello,

Can you share the outcome of this issue? Were you able to install the JDK amd64 on the XEON process and still use SAP NW '04s?

Thanks.
