Windows

The Windows installation folder can vary based on the architecture (32- or 64-bit) of the Code42 server and the operating system. If you installed 32-bit Code42 server software on a 64-bit Windows operating system, replace C:\Program Files with C:\Program Files (x86) in the paths listed in this article. See Considerations For Windows for more information.

Considerations for Windows

This article assumes that the architecture of the Code42 server software, Code42 app, or SharePlan app (32- or 64-bit) matches the architecture of the Windows operating system. If you installed 32-bit software on a 64-bit Windows operating system, replace C:\Program Files with C:\Program Files (x86) in the paths listed in this article.

Software Architecture Operating System Architecture Software Install Location
32-bit 32-bit C:\Program Files
64-bit 64-bit C:\Program Files
32-bit 64-bit C:\Program Files (x86)
