I'm looking for memcached to run on Windows x64. I saw a old thread can I get Memcached running on a Windows (x64) 64bit environment? and looked at Couchbase site. Looks like they have taken a different direction on their product. I didn't see any download/support for windows x64 memcached from them. Appreciate if someone share latest information about memcached to run on windows x64.

i have downloaded ODAC92070.exe from the Oracle Site [x32bit]. i need to install it on Windows 7 x32 bit. on installation instruction: System Requirements
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/windows/install9207-086815.html
its doesnt seems it would work on Windows 7 x32 or Windows 2008 r2 x32. Can i able to run and install Oracle Universal Installer (OUI) on windows 7 x32bit?
thanks
Oracle Universal Installer is a Java application that can handle complex requirements. ODAC release for 9.2.0.7.0 will work fine with Windows7 32 bit release. If you face any problem during installation change the compatibility setting to "WindowsXP ServicePack 2".
Hope it helps.
The Background
Today I was reflecting on the pain install/OS testing. As we approach a new release of our windows software, we have to verify:
That it installs without issue
That it runs, given a reasonable fulfillment of dependencies
That our assumptions as to what is available on an "updated" machine are correct
On a range of architectures (32/64 bit, etc)
On a range of operating system versions (Windows XP, Windows Vista, 7, 8, etc.)
Our sad (but usual and cost effective) approach is to spin up some old boxes here on site. We either try to stuff an OS install into a VM system, or are forced to wipe the box and do a native install just to get to a "clean" install of the app. Depending on the functional approach, reverting snapshots may or may not be available.
The Idea
I realized that Windows Azure was making it very easy to spin up virtual machines these days and "pay for what you use". Mostly this appears to be focused on web hosting (Windows Server 2008 and Windows Server 8 are the only windows variants available in the "VM OS Selection" dialog). See this page for an overview.
But what if I could spin up other kinds of Windows OS images purely for testing?
I have an MSDN subscription, and access to a set of OSes that we should support. Couldn't I push these up somehow and have snapshottable, on-demand test hosts?
The Questions
Is this feasible right now with Windows Azure? (I can do this for Server 2008 and Server 8 now, it would seem...can i do this with other OS images?)
If so, how? (Can i upload a .vhd to storage in some manner as to have it show in the "my images" section?)
If not, is there a good alternative? (I get the sense you could do this with Amazon EC2? Am I barking up the wrong tree? Is this better to try and do onsite with VM software entirely?)
In the best case, I want "fresh" (recently patched) images for a set of supported Windows OSes that I can spin up on demand, pay for what I use, and then shut down again. Does this exist?
Thanks for your time and consideration...
P.S. Not entirely sure if this should be here or on serverfault...please advise.
1.Is this feasible right now with Windows Azure? (I can do this for Server 2008 and Server 8 now, it would seem...can i do this with other
OS images?)
The Windows Server is 2012, not 8. But anyway. So no. The currently supported Windows family OS'es are:
* Windows Server 2008 SP2 x64,
* Windows Server 2008 R2,
* Windows Server 2012
Note that all of them are just the 64bit versions! Frankly, I don't think Windows client OS'es will ever be supported (like XP, 7, 8)
2.If so, how? (Can i upload a .vhd to storage in some manner as to have it show in the "my images" section?)
No. so no way.
3.If not, is there a good alternative? (I get the sense you could do this with Amazon EC2? Am I barking up the wrong tree? Is this better
to try and do onsite with VM software entirely?)
Can't answer this question completely, but a quick search says that currently in Amazon EC2 you can run:
Amazon EC2 running Microsoft Windows Server® (available in 2003 R2,
2008 or 2008 R2 editions)
So far with Windows OSes.
In summary: Only Server Windows OS can be run in an Azure and Amazon.
A hint: you can't install Hyper-V on Windows server in either Azure nor Amazon (you can't virtualize what is already virtualized).
Using C++ Builder under Rad Studio XE I have created a simple Datasnap server service from scratch. I wanted to test the service installation process before adding any functionality, and found that while it will install successfully on a range of Windows machines, I haven't been able to get it to Start under a clean installation of Windows 7 x64.
The error message trying to start the service is: Windows could not start the service on Local Computer. Error 2: The system cannot find the specified file.
I have turned off both dynamic linking and run-time libraries. It starts fine under Windows XP and 2003 operating systems, just not this single Win7 machine that I have. I have opened the firewall for the specified ports, and confirmed no other app is using them as well. The service was installed under Administrator, and logs on as Local System account.
Is there a problem with a C++ Builder compiled service under Windows 7, or maybe 64 bit? Hopefully someone can point me in the right direction so I don't have to bang my head against the wall too many more time.
Thanks!
Since C++ Builder creates 32bit applications only, make sure you install the service in the c:\Windows\SysWOW64 folder on 64bit Win7 systems. Windows 7 x64 expects to find only 64bit files/services in the system32 folder.
Im installing windows server 2008 on my Windows 7.
It seems like I will need to reinstall all programs after installing MS windows server 2008. I dont really want to do that, is there another way around it?
And how can i find out whether I already have Windows Server installed on my computer? Thanks.
The two operating systems do not support an upgrade path. You could do some unsupported things, IE exporting registry entries and importing them manually, but you're not likely to get things working the same way. Further, some of your applications may not actually be supported on 2008.

I am a .net and java deloper. I have an MSDN subscription with access to all editions of the Windows 7 operating system. I am going with a 64 bit installation. Which edition of Windows 7 should I install on my development PC: Professional, Ultimate, Enterprise, Enterprise N, etc.? Thanks in advance.
Put Ultimate on the box and run the others in virtual machines.
If you have access to all versions, I see no reason not to install Ultimate.
As long as your tools run on the OS it shouldn't matter
(btw: I'm running ultimate and it's working out fine)
I think you should use Vista, or even XP for developing your .Net Apps
the reason is your apps have to be backward compatible.
Remember most users still use XP.
And you cant sell your app to an XP user even if your app is very clever, because they cant install it.
And at last .Net is Platform independ , you can use it on which ever windows version you want. (even for Linux)
