Silverlight viewer - 32bit vs 64bit

GeorgePadvorac — Tue, 02 Dec 2014 20:22:21 GMT

I plan on using the Silverlight viewer and don't know which one to download. My pc is 64bit as most are these days, and I'm using VS 2012 sp3 which I assume is also 64bit. However, IE is a 32bit app, therefore, I'm not sure which viewer to use. also, when I deploy a solution, I'm assuming the viewer will be compiled and deployed with everything else. Since I don't know what the client computers will be running, would it be safer to just use the 32bit version?

Thanks.

Hello George,

I would suggest use 64bit version Silverlight Viewer 3.2. The reason is because if you using a 64-bit OS, the system will not allow you to install 32bit (at least in my PC, when I try to install a 32bit on a 64-bit OS it throws a warning).

Also, for the VS part, you need to install the correlated version of Silverlight API match up with the Silverlight Viewer. Say you using Silverlight Viewer 3.2, you need also install the ArcGIS Silverlight API 3.2, and optionally install the ArcGIS Extensibility SDK 3.2

Please let me know if this help.
