Previous versions of the Windows binaries (executables and dlls) found in the <frevvo-home>/tomcat/bin folder were built for x86 (32-bit) architectures and will not work on a x64 architecture (64-bits). We are now bundling the tomcat version 7.0.35 8 binaries for the three two architectures inside <frevvo-home>/tomcat/bin folders:  <frevvo-home>\tomcat\bin\x64 and <frevvo-home>\tomcat\bin\i64 and  <frevvo-home>\tomcat\bin\x86.

How do I know if I need to update the Windows binaries in my install? Are you seeing these errors?

...

If so, the binaries in <frevvo-home>\tomcat\bin may need to be replaced. Here are the steps:

  • Replace tomcat7tomcat8.exe, tomcat7wtomcat8w.exe and tcnative-1.dll found in <frevvo-home>/tomcat/bin with the ones found in <frevvo-home>/tomcat/bin/x64 (for 64-bit architectures) or the ones found in <frevvo-home>/tomcat/bin/i64 x86 (for Itanium 6432-bit architectures).
