CDRouter Installer Naming Conventions:
Historically, CDRouter has been released with separate installers for 32-bit and 64-bit systems for each of the three CDRouter product types: CDRouter, CDRotuer-Multiport, and CDRouter-Demo.
Beginning with CDRouter version 7.0, a single installer exists for each time, with a more uniform file naming convention: the product type is included in all three varieties (cdrouter-base, cdrouter-mp, and cdrouter-demo, respectively), and the version identifier now includes the maintenance build number (eg. "7.0-102" instead of just "7.0").
The following table illustrates these differences: was released with
| Product | 7.0 and newer | 6.5 and earlier |
|---|---|---|
| CDRouter | cdrouter-base_7.0-102.bin | cdrouter-6.5.exe (32-bit) |
| cdrouter-6.5-x86_64.exe (64-bit) | ||
| CDRouter-Multiport | cdrouter-mp_7.0-102.bin | cdroutermp-6.5.exe (32-bit) |
| cdroutermp-6.5-x86_64.exe (64-bit) | ||
| CDRotuer-Demo | cdrouter-demo_7.0-102.bin | cdrouterdemo-6.5.exe |
| cdrouterdemo-6.5-x86_64.exe |
32-bit and 64-bit Systems:
CDRouter version 7.0 and above is available as a single distribution for both 32-bit and 64-bit architectures. The CDRouter 7.0 installer will automatically detect the system architecture and install the appropriate files for your system.
For versions 5.x and 6.x of CDRouter, a separate 32-bit and 64-bit installer are available. You must download either the 32-bit or 64-bit installer depending on the system architecture where CDRouter will be installed.CDRouter versions older than 5.0 are only available as 32-bit applications, but may be run on 64-bit systems.
