64bit fix in VMS 11

Since VMS 11 is still not 64bit, does the "64 bit fix" discussed elsewhere on the forum still hold true? Do you "fix" the same files in VMS 11 as you did in VMS 10? I used the "fix" on VMS 10 and couldn't have been happier. It made a huge difference.

Thanks,

Mike

I have the same question. I looked at the folder/file structure for VMS10 and it appears quite different from that of VMS9. In particular I could not find the files to which the 64-bit fix was applied. This suggests to me that the internal structure of the VMS10 codecs is completely different. Perhaps this means the 64-bit fix is not needed.

A non-related question is why does VMS10 install all the other non-English language DLL's after you have specified English as the installed language? My system has DLL folders for German (de), Spanish (es), French (fr), and Japanese (ja-JP). I'm thinking I can just delete all these.

I was able to do the fix for VMS10. There was one file that was not in VMS 10 that was needed to be fixed in VMS 9. But everything worked like a charm on my multi-core Win 7 64 bit system. I would assume that it would be generally the same for VMW 11. But you know what happens when you assume. I haven't installed VMS 11 yet because I'm getting the media version rather than the download. So I was trying to get ahead on some information.
