If you are building a 32 bits application targeted for many customers, then continue using FWH 32 and upgrade to FWH 12.01 :-)

But if you are building applications just for your company or for a few customers that use Windows 7 64 bits, then FWH 64 is a choice for you to sell them an upgrade to a 64 bits version :-)

FWH 64 does not sell as an upgrade from FWH 32. It has to be bought as a new product from www.fivetechsoft.com purchase section, thanks

Antonio,
I have my application for my company and not for other customer.
You advise me to buy FW64?
Is it totally compatible with my FW32 application ?
thanks

In that case I recommend you to upgrade to FWH 32 12.01 and continue using FWH 32. If you are curious about testing FWH 64 then we can make you a special offer for it :-)

FWH 64 is almost 95 % compatible with FWH 32. Specifically we need to solve the access to FreeImage.dll 64 bits. If you don't use it, then you should be able to easily recompile your app in 64 bits. Keep in mind that you have to migrate from Borland to Microsoft, as Borland does not provide a 64 bits version. So you will need to adapt your make file.
