Hello, Actually, the All-Platforms solution is a workaround at best for 64-bit. Please note that in 64-bit Windows you don't need the 64-bit kit unless you work with very large files and need the extra available memory that the 64-bit JVM offers. Otherwise the memory overhead that the 64-bit JVM introduces is not worth it. The problem you are encountering(missing file chooser, e.g. Open/Save dialog) appears with JRE 1.6.0_26. The native file chooser that Oxygen uses fails silently with this version of the JRE and as a result the fallback Java file chooser is not displayed either. A quick solution for this problem is to use a different version of the JRE. We've tested with 1.6.0_23, 25, and 27 and they all work correctly. The best solution if you want to use 64-bit is to use the 64-bit installation kits. These kits aren't linked on the main site because of a few quirks that the 64-bit architecture and JVM impose. You can find the Window 64-bit kit for Oxygen XML Editor here: http://www.oxygenxml.com/download_oxygenxml_editor_windows_64bit.html and for Oxygen XML Author here: http://www.oxygenxml.com/download_oxygenxml_author_windows_64bit.html Please read the Notes from the download pages to understand the quirks and limitations of these 64-bit distributions. Additionally, note that the 64-bit edition of the application requires a bit more memory to perform the same operation than the 32-bit edition because of the way the Java memory management works for 64-bits. This is compensated by the fact that the 64-bit JVM can address a lot more memory(in theory you can use more memory than you physically have available) than the 32-bit JVM(limited to 2GB, actually around 1.4GB of heap for the Java application). So, if you have 4GB or more of physical memory, the 64-bit edition will probably work much better for you than the 32-bit edition. For 2GB or less of system memory this will probably perform worse than the 32-bit edition, so avoid using it on such a system(use the 32-bit edition instead). Let me know if you need further assistance. Regards, Adrian Adrian Buza oXygen XML Editor and Author Support support@oxygenxml.com http://www.oxygenxml.com McDonald, Shaun wrote:
Hi,
I’ve recently upgraded to a Windows 7 – 64 Bits. I read in your forum that installing the All-Platforms version with a 64-Bit JVM is the best solution.
I assumed this is correct since the Windows version of Oxygen can only install to the x86 version of my Program Files folder.
Anyway, I can start Oxygen via the .BAT. I assume this is running the 64 bit JVM since I’ve already set my environment variable PATH to the jre6 folder.
I’ve not yet edited my Xmx parameter, but I noticed that when I tried to open a saved project, I wasn’t getting an Explorer window. I then clicked “Open” and got no results there either.
