Changing the bit mode of Installation Manager
Installation
Manager is
available in a 64-bit version for specific platforms.
Before you begin
- For installed packages, check the documentation for each package to verify that the bit version of Installation Manager that you are using is supported. Some packages work only with the 32-bit version of Installation Manager. Review the system requirements information to determine the platforms that are supported for 32-bit and 64-bit modes, see the System Requirements technical document.
- To determine the architecture, see Listing information about installation directories by using imcl commands and Listing installed packages by using imcl commands.
- For 64-bit operating systems, information about the architecture shows. For 32-bit operating systems, the architecture information does not show.
About this task
You can use the -reinstallIM option to replace the 32-bit version of Installation Manager with the 64-bit version. On Windows, if the 32-bit installation is in the Program Files (x86) default location, the installation location changes to Program Files directory.
