Re: [Wrapper-user] Unable to test if service is installed or not under Linux‏

[Leif M. <lei...@ta...>]

Gabriel,
Your suggestion about how to query for the installed state of the
Wrapper is a good one.  I will talk to our team about implementing
that for the next version.   We will followup with the updated script
when it is done.

The 64-bit Windows support is as you mentioned a business decision.  I
know it is not always popular, but we have had to draw a line
someplace to help pay the bills.   There have never been any features
or platforms pulled from the Community Edition, and every new release
sees new features and improvements going into it.  We are still
actively continuing to support and improve all Editions of the
Wrapper, including the Community Editions.

Cheers,
Leif
