6.2 64 Bit Operating Systems
Note
According to the VPP6 (Rev6.1) Standard the installation of the 64 bit VXIpnp driver includes
the WINNT, WIN64, GWINNT and GWIN64 frameworks. That means, that the 64 bit driver in-
cludes the 32 bit driver as well.
In case of a 64 bit operating system, 64bit drivers and applications are installed to
“C:\Program Files”
while the 32 bit files - to
“C:\Program Files (x86)”
Below are listed both installation locations, so far applicable.
