NX 64-Bit

NX 64-Bit

NX 64-Bit

(OP)
I'm just testing Windows 7 64-Bit.

As far as I know (and I'm pretty sure I did, as I downloaded it specifically), I installed NX6 64-bit.

The NX log file tells me the OS version, but how can I actually tell that I'm running the 64-Bit version of NX6 ?

NX 6.0.5.3 (NX 8 Beta)
Windows XP32

RE: NX 64-Bit

If you are running nx 64bit, program files should be placed in C:/program files/UGS/... in your PC.

If you are running nx 32bit on 64bit machine, program files should be placed in C:/program files (x86)/UGS/...

So open windows explorer and check where is ugs folder is placed.

True, that would have worked, but we don't use the default install path.

Windows XP32 (Windows 7 64)

RE: NX 64-Bit

Actually where the syslog appears to be telling you what version of OS is running, that's actually the version of NX that's running.  For example, if you are running a 32-bit version of NX on a 64-bit Windows system the syslog will report something like:

:- 32 bit software version

What this is indicating is that for the applications that's running, the OS is running it as a 32-bit version.  If you're running the 64-bit version of NX it should read that it's a '64 bit software version'.  That entry is simply indicating what mode the OS is running in so as to accommodate the application, in this case, NX.
