Is SEPM 64-bit?

[Migration User]

Hi,

I'm setting up a new server, Windows 2008 R2 Standard, to serve the End Point Protection Manager.  I've downloaded the following:

Symantec_Endpoint_Protection_12.1.1_MP1_Part1_Installation_EN.EXE

Symantec_Endpoint_Protection_12.1_RU1_Part1_Installation_EN.EXE

Symantec_Endpoint_Protection_12.1.1_MP1_SEPM_EN.EXE

When I run the setup program for any of them I get to the Destination Folder screen and it says C:\Program Files (x86)\...

My understanding is that this folder is for 32-bit apps.  This server is a 64-bit server, at least that is what it says under Computer Propreties. 

Question is, is SEPM a 32-bit application or is there a 64-bit version?  How can I tell? Or am I missing something here, shouldn't it want to install in the C:\Program Files directory?

I've spoke with tech support and they direct me to licensing customer service for the correct download, which has led me to these downloads, then they direct me back to tech support.  Just feel like I'm going in circles there.

Thanks in advance,

Linn

Hello,

SEPM could be used on both OS (32 bit and 64 bit). It is intelligent enough to understand the type of OS.

Secondly, to understand the type of Download from Fileconnect, check this Article:

Understanding the Downloads of Symantec Endpoint Protection (SEP) 12.1 available on Symantec FileConnect website.

Hope that helps!!

SEPM has only one setup which can be installed on 32 bit as well 64 bit.

Just to keep it short , its a 32 bit application . 

Edit @@  SEPM being a 32 bit application can still be isntalled on 64 bit machine , but the install path would be in program files x86 and the registries would be created under wow64.

Ok, thanks everyone that is what I was thinking too.  Mithun, thanks for the link, helped me determine which install to use.  Wonder if this site will allow me to mark more than one as a solution?

Thanks,
