I am still using Manifold 8, and I have to use the 32 bit version because a script we use all the time doesn't open when I use the 64 bit option. I got a new laptop and only installed the 32 bit accordingly, but it tends to crash when I am processing larger amounts of data. Therefore, I either need to find a way to download the 64 bit to use when crashing becomes an issue OR I need to adjust the script to open and run properly on 64.

Somehow, on my old computer, I had both versions and could use them interchangeably as needed. However, when I went to download the 64 bit on the this new device it overwrote the 32 and I had to reverse the changes.

I do not know the script language well so I am assuming finding a way to download both is an easier fix.

Fixing your script and running 64 bit is the better option, even more if you have a large amount of data. You can post the script or a part of it here for help. If you have the error from the debugger, it would be useful.

I will paste it as a text file here. Apologies in advance. I don't know this language well at all so I am not very helpful regarding what it's doing.

The issue is when I run it in 64 it doesn't even open or run. There's no error that comes up because I can't even get to that point. Run with debugger isn't an option either, unfortunately. It's grayed out.

You’re using a Form. Forms only run in 32-bit.

Is there a way to convert it to something that will run in 64?

you can rewrite everything in VB.NET, but that might be a hassle. The other option is to rework your script and instead of having dropdowns for selecting the layers, you force feed it the actual names in the code. Or, you can create an InputBox and type in the name of what you want to allow it to be more interactive.

If you'd like, I can take a look at it if you send me a small .map file to test it out. My email is in my avatar, so feel free to write me offline. We can communicate offline to figure out the best way to get this done for you.

Search the news for "deprecated" -- for 32 bit version 8, I believe you have to seek out an earlier version of the download.
