64-bit SQL Anywhere 12.0.1 Installer is Missing Some Bin32 Binaries

[alanesaagoolian]

Hey everyone, this is something I came across and wanted to know if it's expected behavior or if it's a real issue.

I recently installed SQL Anywhere 12.0.1.4278 64-bit on a 64-bit computer. I found that the C:\Program Files\SQL Anywhere 12\Bin32 folder was missing a few important files (mainly for MobiLink).

I then installed the 32-bit version on a 32-bit computer and found the missing files were there (strangely, most of the files are related to MobiLink).

Since the 64-bit installer comes with a Bin32 folder, shouldn't it include the full set of executables instead of just a subset? Is this expected behavior or does it look like an issue?

Find attached a directory listing of all the files in the Bin32 folder from both computer architectures.

Thanks!

As long as that relates to the MobiLink server binaries, that's expected behaviour as of v12.0.1:

To cite from the changes page:

> 32-bit MobiLink server is no longer supported on 64-bit operating systems   On 64-bit operating systems, the MobiLink server is only installed as a 64-bit application and must be run as a 64-bit application. Any 32-bit versions of the MobiLink server that might remain on your system from previous version 12 installations cannot be run on a 64-bit system.

I have run the SQL Anywhere deployment wizard on my 64 bit machine and even though there is an option to create 64-bit install, even when I uncheck it, there is no way to deploy Mobilink server 32-bit version. In fact, the bin32 directory does not include the related files. I am testing with 12.0.1.4301 64-bit
