Hello Jamal,

NVDA Controller Client Library is also available in 64-bit variant, as far as I know.

Tyler is right that if default compiler settings were used, EdSharp.exe would run as either a 32 or 64-bit executable, depending on the client platform and .NET Framework installed. Unfortunately, however, I found that only a 32-bit executable would work well with all screen reader APIs on Win64. In particular, I could not get the NVDA API to work from a 64-bit process. I suspect that System Access would have the same problem because its API uses a standard DLL rather than a COM server like JAWS or Window-Eyes can do.

So, for reliability reasons, EdSharp.exe targets Win32 specifically. I think JAWS or Window-Eyes users can use EdSharp64.exe, however which targets Win64 instead. I doubt that performance differences will be noticeable, but welcome any feedback from folks interested in comparing behavior of those executables (I do not have Win64 yet to test with, myself).

Greetings all --
Some time this week my system started failing to load edsharp for text
files, like I had selected, but for expedience I just told it to use
notepad.  Today however I found out why edsharp is not running: it is
missing. There is the edsetup program and even ed64.exe, in program
files\edsharp, but no edsharp.exe.

Either I have a system problem or I just accidently clobbered it without
realizing it.
Can anyone think how this could happen? I haven't touched the installation
folder for many months.

Also, have the 32 vs 64 bit version problems been worked out? I have both 32 and 64 bit machines and would like to put edsharp on all of them. I thought
I skimmed past a thread on where to get 64 bit compiled versions, but I
missed the final determination of where to download what.

Thanx.

Where do I get what?
