Re: st: Running 32 Bit Stata IC 10 on 64 Bit Stata
I just noticed this message when searching the Statalist archive for
related information. The speculation at the end of the message below
is false: the current 32-bit version of Stata will run properly and
without issue on a 64-bit version of Mac OS X (namely, Mac OS X 10.5
"Leopard"). Previous messages from Stata personnel on this list have
specifically indicated so, had Sergiy bothered to check:

<http://www.stata.com/statalist/archive/2008-05/msg00916.html>
S. Joseph Kim ([email protected]) did not specify his OS, which
would be useful for clarifying this question. (The fact that he is
using a Microsoft Hotmail account would raise my priors that he is
using one of the numerous flavors of Windows, however.) I also
suspect, although he did not say so, that he "had to purchase" a 64-
bit version of Stata because his particular application involved
reading a dataset larger than 2 GB into memory. Perhaps he could
clarify.
It also might be useful for a representative from Stata to post a
response to Statalist that clarifies specifically which, if any, 64-
bit OS versions require 64-bit Stata -- that is, which, if any, are
not capable of running 32-bit Stata. Users' responses seem to be
based on varying degrees of (mis)information.

Hi there.
32-bit Stata 10 for Windows will run happily on a 64-bit Windows (e.g.
64-bit XP Server, and there should be no diff with Vista), but then
you will not enjoy all the possibilities that a 64-bit Windows
provides, like >2GB memory for example. This is because Windows
provides WOW64 technology which allows older 32-bit programs to work
in the newer 64-bit environment. Perhaphs it is different in the Mac
World? And the response from Stata Technical Support refered to MacOS?
Don't generalize that, however, on all OSes.

I ran into a similar problem and I was told by technical support
that 32-bit Stata will not run on a 64-bit machine. Ultimately, I
had to purchase the 64-bit version of Stata for my 64-bit desk-top
computer.
Best,

Subject: st: Running 32 Bit Stata IC 10 on 64 Bit Stata
I currently use a 32 bit version of Stata IC/10 on my Windows XP
computer.
I am purchasing a new computer with Vista as the operating
system, and
I would like to buy the 64 bit version. Unfortunately, I cannot
upgrade (at this time) my version of Stata to the 64 bit version.
Does anyone have any experience installing the 32 bit version of
Stata
IC/10 on a 64 bit version of Vista? If so, have you noticed any
performance problems?
