I successfully had OpenEMR 4.1.1 running (using the xampp install) on a Windows XP 32 bit box.

Moved things to a Windows Server 2008 64 bit box.

Apache won’t run.

Is this a 32 bit/64 bit issue?

Is there a build that will work on 64 bit?

Do I need to install apache specifically for 64 bit (do I get this from their site)?

Aside from performance issues, can I run the apache 32 bit (which appears to be what is in the distributed package for OpenEMR)

Will OpenEMR 4.1.2 solve things?

I’m pretty technical, but haven’t worked in the XAMPP/apache environment except for OpenEMR

Thanks

I think I solved my own problem. I’ll post here to help others, and so users don’t spend time trying to help me.

The error was that the system could not find the correct Visual C++ redistributable. It was looking for version 9.0.21022.8. The system is supposed to redirect this to 9.0.30729.4148, which was installed. There is a suggestion on the Microsoft forum that this redirection (side-by-side) doesn’t work on 64 bit.

The Visual C++ redistributable specifically for 64 bit didn’t work. The 2010 version didn’t work.

The 2008 version (vcredist_x86.exe) size 1,779 KB (1,821,192 bytes) (digital signature Wed, Nov 7, 2007 11:13:01 am) worked. Version 9.0.21022.8

Looks like Apache 32 bit otherwise works on 64 bit.

Just got the opening screen up, but that’s a good sign. Calling it a night.
