Windows 7 64-bit OS and Java

[Tim Owen]

I have just started using a computer with the 64-bit version of Windows 7 Professional (a Dell Optiplex 990, Intel Core i7-2600 CPU @3.40GHz, 12GB RAM) and have installed FileMaker Pro Advanced 11.0v3. If my understanding is correct, I will need to install the 32-bit version of Java for use with 360Works Java-based FileMaker plugins. Is that correct? Presumably, I would also install the 64-bit version of Java for the purposes of other, 64-bit applications or web browsers on the computer (and, presumably, for future versions of FileMaker and associated 360Works plugins). Are there any issues I should be aware of when using current 360Works FileMaker plugins on computers running the 64-bit version of the Windows 7 Professional OS? I would be grateful for any help or advice in this regard.

Thanks,

Just make sure you install the 32-bit version of Java like you mentioned. If you have any trouble getting the plugins configured correctly let us know.
