Other B4J v9.50 - first 64 bit version!

[Erel]

This is the first 64-bit version of B4X IDE.

The new version will be installed in "program files" and not in "program files (x86)". It is not a must but it is recommended to uninstall B4J before installing the new version.

Switching to 64 bit architecture allows the IDE to better handle large projects.

Other improvements:

• TextField (and B4XView) - text alignment.
• RUNTIME conditional symbol - this is an automatic symbol that is added during compilation. It can be used to exclude code from the IDE case-corrector.
• Bug fixes, including a fix for a bug in the logs that caused the IDE to misfunction.

Just want to thank you for this update, it is making our life so much better. Coding is now a dream! No more memory issues or freezing IDEs!! And it compiles so much faster!! I really appreciate it!!

Edit: got it working - see my next post

Unfortunately for me, using Mac M1 with Parallels and a Windows 11 Virtual Machine (64bit Arm), the 64bit installer of B4J will not install.
The 32bit version (9.30) is installing and running correctly.
Any chance you can compile for ARM 64 too or make the installer compatible with Arm 64bit?

For instance, with 7zip both the 64bit and the specific Arm 64bit versions work fine:

Got it working, using the information posted here as suggested by Erel:

B4A / B4J - No installation deployment

There are cases where you cannot run the installer as it needs administrator privileges. It is quite simple to deploy these tools without the installer. Download innoextract: https://constexpr.org/innoextract/ This tool allows you to unpack the installer files. Follow the instructions and...

However, would be nice with an installer that works....

I will try to fix it for the next update.
