  • 1.  Sage 100 Service - 32 to 64-Bit starting at v2024

    Posted 03-21-2025 14:02

    I just saw this in the Sage Community and Chat GPT summarized it nicely: 

    Please note that this appears to be a change that happened at version 2024. The full Sage Community thread is here. And the reason that this is notable is that before v2024 people were seeing a pvxwin64 in the path to executable shown in the service dialog box.

    Question:
    After upgrading from Sage 100 v2024 Advanced 32-bit to 64-bit, why does the Windows service still reference pvxwin32.exe instead of pvxwin64.exe, and should this path be manually edited?

    Explanation (Answer by Russell Libby, Sage):
    As of Sage 100 v2024, the Windows service intentionally references pvxwin32.exe regardless of whether Sage is running in 32-bit or 64-bit mode. This change was introduced to simplify switching between modes without needing to uninstall and reinstall the service.

    Specifically:

    • In 32-bit mode: The service runs the actual pvxwin32.exe.
    • In 64-bit mode: A special "bootstrap" version of pvxwin32.exe launches, which then automatically runs pvxwin64.exe.

    Therefore, it's normal for the service to reference pvxwin32.exe even when running in 64-bit mode, and no manual editing is needed.

    Also, Bret (Sage Support) added at the bottom of the post

    Hi Jeff,
    There is no need to Install the 64-bit ODBC driver from this autorun screen since both the 32 and 64-bit ODBC drivers are being installed with both 32 and 64-bit Sage 100 and Sage 100 Workstation Setup (since the 2021 release). The 64-bit ODBC option has been removed from this autorun screen in Sage 100 2025 since it is always installed.
