Portable Freeware Discussion • Re: WinPenPack's X-Launcher update?

Does anyone know if WinPenPack's X-Launcher will ever get an update to 64 bit?
It's been so useful for me over the years and it's going to be redundant once windows stops supporting 32 bit apps. I am finding many old 32 bit apps have stopped working over the years.

I think the 64 bit version will never be released.

However you can easily create the 64 bit versions yourself.
The steps are as follows:
1. obtain the sources of the launcher you are interested in (browse at Sourceforge.net https://sourceforge.net/projects/winpenpack/files/)
2. uses updated "X-SciTEAutoIt".
- open the source code, e.g. X-LibreOffice.au3" located in the X-Libreoffice folder
- in the second line there is the parameter:
#AutoIt3Wrapper_UseX64=N
that it must become
#AutoIt3Wrapper_UseX64=Y
--> (AutoIt supports 64-bit compilation)
3. then go to Tools --> Compile
to get a new 64-bit launcher

The problem is rather in the launcher 'code' which is really outdated (see at https://sourceforge.net/projects/winpen ... -Launcher/)

At moment, in winPenPack, there are not AutoIt programmers.

Final words.
If You are interested I can load on MediaFire my copy of "X-SciTEAutoIt" updated with:
- SciTE rel 4.4.6 (updated at 2022-09-19)
- AutoIt rel. 3.3.16.1

Good luck.
