Hi, currently I'm moving to a 64 bit installation of Windows 7.

I know the x86 and x64 versions can be installed on the same PC, but I was thinking if there is a better way, for example to merge the two installations to some degrees.

On top of that, until now I used PB x86 with the /LOCALE switch. So settings were local to the PB installation (was handy to transfer stuff to virtual machines, etc.)

Using PBx86 and PBx64 maybe it would be wise to revert to a standard installation ? In this way color themes, settings, configured tools etc. are shared between the two installations ? Or not ?

Your experiences can save me some trouble and experimentation

Thanks.

For me the best is to use only one IDE!
Set all compiler in the settings an compile allways with one IDE (newest PB version)
No portable switch or anythink else, but you can only read the newest help from one IDE

10 Compilers configuriert in one IDE (x86 / x64)

ehr, I corrected the switch, was /LOCAL not /PORTABLE ehm.... sorry.

But you were saying.... uhmm... do you mean to install them in the default way and then use a single ide with both the compilers configured in it ?

Thank you, I'll give it a try!

Yes is right. I have older Versions copied in a subdirectory like pb410 without the IDE, examples and useless stuff, so i can use 10 versions from 4.10 to 4.51
