    I was wondering if I could rename one of those executables to try and 'trick it out' but, have not attempted that yet.  I believe I have a 64bit ODBC query and setup that might work.  I will just push all the setup down to the agents and hope I don't run into a conflict.  If that doesn't work I will manipulate the agents more as Kitt suggested.

    Thanks everyone for the assistance.

You would need to reconfigure your agent to use 32 bit or create a new agent; all tasks run under that agent should be performed under the same bitness. The x64 agent version is intended for 64-bit Windows, whereas the x86 version is intended for 32-bit Window - found in the link rraghvani provided.

 

You could also look into using Session Creator w/command line parameters [here]. More info on TC bitness [here].

Thanks.  I guess, we are just curious how to force a particular bit version when selecting the following in the 'TestComplete test adapter installer' (as in the image).  Or, if we can confirm if the agent is setup as 32-bit, then TC/TE will be run as 32-bit.

I think I will just focus on getting everything lined up with 64-bit versions.

Thanks

    Hi,

     

    Try to create Support ticket via the https://support.smartbear.com/testcomplete/message/ form. Hopefully, they will help you...

     

    As a quick workaround you may try to rename <TestExecute>\x64\bin\TestExecute.exe to something else. There is a chance that test adapter will resort to 32-bit TE flavor if it (test adapter) is smart enough...
