Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable 64bit fix?

Hey Community,


since I experienced a problem with my new bukkit 1.2.5-R4.0 server I've been told to setup Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable because it is needed fpr bukkit 1.2.5.-R4.0.

My server got an 64bit operating system so I installed the x64 version of the Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable but it did not work. After some thoughts with a little trick I installed the x86 (32bit version) of Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable on my 64bit operating system and now my bukkit 1.2.5-R4.0 server is running fine.

I would suggest to fix this problem, because having the 32bit Version of Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable on an 64bit operating system can not be the best solutation?!

You can always use the -nojline option.

In the meantime, submit a bug report to leaky.bukkit.org with as many details as you can.

 

This actually is not a problem.
It's very normal and very acceptable to have 32bit vc redist on your 64bit OS.
The 32bit redists are required for 32bit software which you may be running.

You don't have to worry about this.
If you didn't install it, you're likely to run into some game or application that decides to install it for you eventually.

 

You bring up a good point. I wonder if the OP was using Java x64 or Java x86 to run his server.

 

Java 6 Update 33 and Java 7 Update 5 is installed on the server and I found out both are 32bit versions..

 

Did you download the x64 version of Java and try that? I bet it will work as intended.

 

To be honest I did not know which version of Java was installed so I just picked the 64bit of visual c++ 2008 yesterday...

...and now as it runs perfectly with the 32bit versions I think I will follow the good old advice "never change a running system" ^^
