Environment

Novell ZENworks 11 Configuration Management

Situation

On 64-bit Windows OS, ZENworks 11 installs to Program files (x86) . Is there need for anything special to get 64-bit jvm support?

Resolution

This is by design for backwards compatibility with previous versions. The install determines the OS architecture so there is no need to do anything special.

Running this:

cd %ZENWORKS_HOME%\share\java\bin
java -version

Will show that the correct x64 version of java has been installed.
