I can't find this posted anywhere already (inc the Rybka forum), and it may sound blindingly obvious - but if you install Rybka Chessbase version on a 32 bit machine - will it automatically only install the 32 bit engines?
And following on from that - if you have a 64bit operating system etc - will it automatically only install the 64 bit versions?
CA and Aquarium seemed to install both 32 & 64 bit engines on my 32-bit machine...
Thanks

I don't believe in intuition, but I've got a funny feeling that one day I will...

Re: Rybka 32/64bit question
Having bought the Chessbase offering and having both 32 and 64 bit operating systems then I can confirm only 32 bit engines were installed to the 32 bit O/S and only 64 bit engines were installed to the 64 bit OS.Kemuri wrote:I can't find this posted anywhere already (inc the Rybka forum), and it may sound blindingly obvious - but if you install Rybka Chessbase version on a 32 bit machine - will it automatically only install the 32 bit engines?

The 32 bit engines can be transferred to the 64 bit OS and will run but the 64 bit engines will run only in a 64 bit OS.

I think the installer will automatically install the version most suited to your machine and OS. The orhers are still on the dvd and can be manually installed,Kemuri wrote:I can't find this posted anywhere already (inc the Rybka forum), and it may sound blindingly obvious - but if you install Rybka Chessbase version on a 32 bit machine - will it automatically only install the 32 bit engines?
