CAPICOM support on Windows Server 2008

Hi all, welcome back,

If you remember all the confusion there was regarding CAPICOM support on Vista, now everything seems much clearer on Windows Server 2008. Our documentation team has done its homework, as we can see in CAPICOM Reference:

"CAPICOM is available for use in the following operating systems: Windows Server 2008, Windows Vista, Windows XP, and Windows 2000. It may be altered or unavailable in subsequent versions. Instead, use the .NET Framework to implement security features."

I hope this helps.

Cheers,

Alex (Alejandro Campos Magencio)

CAPICOM reference is missing Windows Server 2003 in the list of supported OS, but CAPICOM is also supported on that version of Windows.

What about Server 2008 64-bit?

Hi Paul,

There is no 64bit version of CAPICOM, but 32bit version should work with 32bit applications in 64bit machines...

Cheers,

Alex
