NetXMS 2.2.2 released

[victor]

We switched to Visual Studio 2017 for building Windows binaries. It should support Windows XP SP3 and higher (but Windows XP before SP3 is not supported). What exact Windows version you have?

Windows XP Home and Pro (all with SP3 and updates).

Hi, I would like to upgrade NetXMS server from 2.1 to 2.2.2. I am looking for a Server installer for Windows x86. NetXMS download site has links to Server Binaries only for Windows x64. Why is the 32-bit installer discontinued? Thanks.

Hi,

we are trying to reduce release efforts by excluding old and rarely used targets. We consider that since Windows Server 2008 R2 all server operating systems are 64 bit 32 bit server build is not necessary. What OS you are using for running NetXMS server?
I can make 32 bit installer for 2.2.2, but we will discontinue 32 bit builds sooner or later anyway.

Best regards,
Victor

Hi,

I tried to execute the following steps locally on several machines running XP Pro SP3:

1. Switch off all antivirus functions (Avast)
2. Remove NetXMS agent (2.1.2 or 2.2.1) through the standard Control Panel
3. Install NetXMS Agent 2.2.2 (the installation process runs smoothly, with no errors)
4. Run services.msc and see that the NetXMS Agent service isn't running.
5. Trying to run the NetXMS Agent service. The result is Error 1053: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion.

All I can do now is to remove NetXMS Agent 2.2.2 and install 2.1.2. Now it runs fine again.

P.S. May be the problem is caused by outdated .Net Framework? Fresh releases can't be installed in Windows XP...

We don't use .NET, only Visual C++ runtime. What if you install Visual C++ 2017 runtime on such machine?

Hi Victor,

Thanks for your reply. I am using Windows 10 x64. While installing 64-bit NetXMS Server I get an architectural mismatch error since I am using 32-bit SQL server. That is why I was looking for a 32-bit NetXMS Server installer.

I totally understand your point of view. I think you are right in your decision to discontinue 32-bit builds. I should move on to 64-bit products, too.

Thanks,
Brown

As far as I know you can install 64 bit native client on the same machine alongside 32 bit client (but I could be wrong, I'm not an expert on SQL Server at all).

Best regards,

OK, great thanks! I'll try to do this.

There are some strange things:

1. Microsoft web site doesn't allow to choose what build (x86 or x64) of Vis. C++ Redist. 2017 should be downloaded. Only x64 build is always downloaded (for C++ 2015 you can choose between x86 and x64)

2. NetXMS Agent 2.2.2 32-bit works properly in Vista (32-bit SP2) although there is no VC++ 2017 Redist. on that machine installed (the newest is VC++ 2010).

Agent comes with VC++ 2017 runtime packaged - this is why it works on Vista 32-bit. It is supposed to work on XP too. I'll check myself on some XP machine. So far I suggest to stick with agent from 2.1 branch for Windows XP.

Victor
