DCIRv3 is only used for premiere events these days, but I thought I'd move this over from the old list in case anyone still needs it, or they'd like to finally retire the 32 bit Windows machines they have been hoarding all this time just for v3 compatibility.

———————————————

I've run into the problem of needing version 3 of the DCI reporter on 64 bit
processor systems before, but it doesn't run. Now that new machines are 64
bit more often than not, I just thought I'd share the solution here.

The easy way for non-techies:

1) Get winrar
2) Download this file: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5442077/DCIRv3-force32bit.rar
(password- layer5changescolor)
3) copy the new executable into the same folder the original DCIRv3.exe is
in on your system.


More details for the technical crowd:

The problem with the original version is that it only understands 32 bit
libraries, but it detects 64 bit processors and loads 64 bit libraries.
To solve this, I used the Microsoft .NET 3.1 SDK and forced it to only use
32 bit libraries on any processor.

If you wish to do this yourself, or modify a different version, get the SDK
and use the following command from an SDK enabled command prompt in the DCIR
program directory…

corflags DCIRv3.exe /32bit+

Actually DCIR is only needed for GPs and PTs. WER operates PTQs and GPTs.

Nice tip, Greg, and it's appreciated that you shared this with people.

However, I've got an even easier tip: just use WER. :)
