Subversion between win x86 and x64

Submitted by wmuser on Thu, 05/15/2014 - 15:32
when using webmaker in a subversion environment( using your suggested setup) we are running into a little bit of a headache when it comes to x64 machines mixed with x86.

the install directory of webmaker installs to c:\Program Files\... where the x64 install to c:\Program Files (x86)\...
this causes issues for us as from the application map under advanced settings both the Preview Location as well as Java Code Location point to the full path. Saving changes/test dashboard/publishing all fail.

Ive tried relative paths in these two fields with no avail. Has anyone else run into this problem? and/or has and idea to fix it?

I'm looking for options to try to resolve this inconvenience.

Normally you can simply relocate the installation to a different, 'neutral', directory but, there's no easy solution to this issue within the BizFlow Environment. It has been addressed for the next release.

I believe SVN provides the capability to map the location during check-in and check-out on the TortoiseSVN Client. This may be an avenue that proves useful for you.

Abdul,
I was able to resolve this using a directory junction on an NTFS filesystem. the command is available on win7/vista and server 2003 and up.
I ran the following to create the directly link
mklink /J "C:\Program Files\BizFlow" "C:\Program Files (x86)\BizFlow"

this linked the contained webmaker folder and resolved the issues for me.
