i get this error while installing vmware 12.0 on windows 7 32 bits.

You cannot!

How to install Oracle Client 32 bit on RHEL 64 bit OS

Would like to install Oracle Client (11g or 12c or 18c) 32 bit version on RHEL 7 64 bit version OS. Came to know that Oracle software 32 bit wont work on 64 bit RHEL verion. This is required for cognos usage. How this can be tackled.

Run Linux guest on Windows 10 VMWare host with GPU

I have a Linux guest (Ubuntu 18.04) running on Windows 10 host, VMWare Player 14.
Host has a NVidia GTX 960M.
Is it possible for the guest to leverage the GPU? (Either by using VMWare Player, or VMWare Workstation).
Running OpenGL in Ubuntu 16.04 64bit guest on Window 10 Pro 64bit host, GTX 980m, VMware Workstation Pro 12.5.7, Intel I7-6820 cpu
There are several step how to do it
In the VMware setup for particular virtual machine enable 3D acceleration
In Ubuntu guest install vm-open-tools (three packages)
Install xserver-xorg-video-vmware, xserver-xorg-video-vmmouse
Install mesa-utils
Then all things shall work seamlessly
How to check:
glxinfo | grep Vendor shall tell you that vendor is VMware
Run glxgears. With accelerated OpenGL you'll get circa 2000 FPS. With software rendered OpenGL you'll get probably around 200 FPS (depending on CPU)

oracle 32 bit client on a windows 7 64 bit computer

Trying to install Oracle 9i (32bit) client on a Windows 7 64bit computer. Seems to install fine, but when trying to run anything, such as the Net Configuration Assistant, it doesn't do anything, no errors, and nothing started in the background.
So the question is:
Can the 32 bit client of Oracle be installed on a 64 bit Windows 7 PC? Or does it need to be a 64 bit client?
You can install a 32 bit client, and if your software is 32 bit, you need to install the 32 bit client to use it, even on a 64 bit system.

Are "ia64" and "amd64" interchangeable in clickonce manifests?

I'm working on a tool which modifies clickonce manifests. I found an ambiguity in the MSDN documents around the clickonce application manifest. It says:
Specifies the processor. The valid values are msil for all processors,
x86 for 32-bit Windows, IA64 for 64-bit Windows, and Itanium for Intel
64-bit Itanium processors.
But yet, this doesn't cover all values. If I compile a clickonce application for a 64-bit only executable, I'll get a manifest with the value amd64. Is this interchangeable with ia64?
amd64 and ia64 are completely different plaforms. They are not interchangeable. The comment from microsoft is indeed misleading.
IA64 refers to Intel's Itanium CPU (developed in partnership with HP) which is 64-bit but which is NOT compatible with the widely used Intel x86 architecture (386,486,Pentium,CORE i3/i5/i7,various AMD,etc). The IA64 CPU uses a completely different instruction set than x86, and the IA64 instruction set implements a design known as VLIW (Very Long Instruction Word).
HP was apparently the main vendor of IA64 systems and they had developed the CPU (with Intel) as a replacement for their own RISC CPU, the HP PA-RISC. HP used Itanium 2 CPUs in their Integrity line of servers, with the high-end model of that line featuring up to 64 Itanium 2 CPUs. HP offered their Unix variant HP-UX as the OS for these IA64 systems, but there was also the option of running a version of Linux for IA64.
Although there were Windows XP and Windows Server releases for Itanium-based systems, I'm not aware of any Windows desktop PC model having much sales success with IA64 CPUs. There were also Linux releases for IA64 including Red Hat.

How to install Bcrypt on a 64bit Raspberry PI?

I recently built a web application which needs to run bcrypt and mongodb over a raspberry pi 4 model b.
Mongodb require a 64 bit OS.
Bcrypt succeed installation only with 32 bit OS.
I used Ubuntu 20.04 for 64 bit OS and the latest version of raspbian 32 bit.
I searched in the npm bcrypt package documentation and I found out that they only support pre-built binaries for:
Windows x32 and x64
Linux x64 (GlibC targets only). Pre-built binaries for MUSL targets
such as Apline Linux are not available.
macOS
Therefore, I have those options:
Find another package (bcrypt like) which is functionnal for 64 raspberry pi's os
Find a way to install bcrypt on armv7l 64 bit OS
Downgrade mongo with an old version who support 32 bits and use Raspbian
I documented compiled all the logs in this post.
I'm sure someone already faced this issue and knows how to deal with this. Or even, if you know another alternative, I'll be glad to hear! Thank you
