The Remote Loader gives you flexibility in your Identity Manager solution configuration. It provides 32-bit or 64-bit support. By default, the installation program detects the version of the operating system and then installs the corresponding version of the Remote Loader. For installing 32-bit Remote Loader on a 64-bit Operating System, see Installing 32-Bit Remote Loader on 64-Bit Operating System. Figure 6-4 lists the supported operating systems for the Remote Loader.
Figure 6-4 Supported Operating Systems for the Remote Loader
If you have installed the Metadirectory engine as a 32-bit application on a 64-bit operating system, you cannot install the 64-bit Remote Loader on the same machine. The libraries for the 32-bit Metadirectory engine and the 64-bit Remote Loader have the same names. If they are both installed on the same machine, it causes conflicts.
Table 6-2 lists the supported operating systems for the Remote Loader.
