[edit] Abstract

The following table is a cross-tab between all the platforms supported by DataDefractor and the different DataDefractor installations.

Installation	Target Platform	Comment
DataDefractorSolo_x86.msi	x86	DataDefractor Solo is deployed as a 32-bit application and utilizes the 32-bit addressable memory space of the target system.
DataDefractorSolo_x86.msi	x64	DataDefractor Solo is deployed as a 32-bit application and utilizes the 32-bit addressable memory space of the target system. Note: If you need DataDefractor to utilize the 64-bit addressable space of the target machine, use DataDefractorSolo_x64.msi installation instead.
DataDefractorSolo_x64.msi	x86	The 64-bit installation will refuse to deploy the application to a 32-bit machine. You have to use DataDefractorSolo_x86.msi installation instead.
DataDefractorSolo_x64.msi	x64	DataDefractor Solo is deployed as a 64-bit application and fully utilizes the 64-bit addressable memory space of the target system.

Installation	Target Platform	Comments
DataDefractorSSIS_x86.msi	x86	DataDefractor SSIS is deployed as a 32-bit component and executes within the 32-bit edition of BIDS and the 32-bit edition of the SSIS runtime.
DataDefractorSSIS_x86.msi	x64	DataDefractor SSIS installs as a 32-bit component and executes within the 32-bit edition of BIDS and the 32-bit edition of the SSIS runtime. Note: Although the component will install on the 64-bit platform, it won't execute in the context of a 64-bit enabled SSIS package. If you need to do that, you have to use DataDefractorSSIS_x64.msi installation instead.
DataDefractorSSIS_x64.msi	x86	The 64-bit installation will refuse to deploy the component to a 32-bit machine. You have to use DataDefractorSSIS_x86.msi installation instead.
DataDefractorSSIS_x64.msi	x64	DataDefractor SSIS is deployed both as a 32-bit and a 64-bit component. When executed under the 32-bit edition of BIDS, it runs as a 32-bit component. When executed under the 32-bit edition of SSIS runtime it runs as a 32-bit component When executed under the 64-bit SSIS runtime, it runs as a 64-bit component.
