Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/debauchee/barrier/issues/92

Perhaps this is me being lazy and not wanting to compile the source myself, but I couldn't help but notice that the prebuilt installer didn't run on my Windows 10 32 bit tablet despite seeming to install correctly. I'd like to give it a fair shake as I'm starting to reach the limits of Mouse Without Borders.

That's correct, @DoomRater, our Windows installers are x64-only. Can you link a product info page for your tablet? I'm curious about the 32-bit nature of it.

I only paid $80 for it in store, but the key here is the amount of RAM- anything built with less than 4GB of RAM is given the 32-bit version of Windows. Also, 32-bit Windows versions usually have the advantage of having the 16-bit Windows emulation environment so some software runs there that won't run on my main system.

Hmm. Supporting 32-bit, low-end Windows tablets is a bit of a fringe case. That said, perhaps we will consider adding a 32-bit Windows build to the mix if we get enough requests for it. I can't see it being done for 2.2, though. Let's see how many people want the build.

@DoomRater You can check out my Synergy fork for a 32-bit version https://github.com/yupi2/synergy/releases

Closing for now. Will reconsider if interest picks up for a 32-bit installer.

+1 from me. The pretty much the entire Linx series of tablets in the UK uses 32-bit UEFI which sticks us with 32-bit Windows.

+1 because I would like to install on an older Win7 laptop.

So 32-bit support for windows is a no go and will never be supported.
