Re: [amibroker] Sick of running different OSs. Anyone rinning solo 64-bit W7?

[Tomasz Janeczko <groups@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

I am running Windows 7 64-bit exclusively (I mean for development & trading) since November 2009.
Earlier I had dual boot machine.

One most important note is that AmiBroker, eSignal, IQFeed, IB, Quotes Plus all run on Windows 7 64 bit without problems.
I do not use PremiumData but it should work fine as well. In fact majority of recently released business/office programs run just fine. I had problems with some older DAWs (digital audio workstation) programs and some old MS office service pack, there is also no built-in e-mail program on W7, so you need to use 3rd party app or MS "Live" products, there are few quirks
here and there but it is not a "disaster".

But... you still need to use 32-bit program version for maximum data compatibility currently data vendor's APIs
(with few exceptions) are not 64-bit. And 64-bit API is required to build 64-bit plugin DLL that is in turn required
to run native 64-bit AmiBroker version.

I am getting very tired of booting/running/maintaining different OSs and would like to dump everything that doesn't run under 64-bit Windows 7. I'll lose some nice little programs but so be it. Has anyone taken this step, and, if so, what are your problems?

I can't find any comprehensive report on setting up/running AmiBroker exclusively under 64-bit Windows 7. I am looking for a simple instructions/table that shows AB potential in an exclusive 64W7 environment. I thought Tomasz posted one some time back but I can't find it. If anyone knows a comprehensive link please post it.

I always run the latest AB/IBc betas and use IQFeed,  Premium, and IB Data.

Am I aiming for disaster?

Thanks and best regards,
herman
