Subject: Bug in MIT Kerberos for Windows Version 3.2.2

I have windows home premium 54-bit.
The secure endpoints site:
http://www.secure-endpoints.com/#kfw
says to install BOTH the 32 bit and 64 bit MSI files on 64 bit windows...
I installed the 32 bit one first and then the 64 bit one.
The 64 bit install detects the 32 bit one and *removes* it
before proceeding. So is the web site just wrong? Or should
the installation order be 64 bit then 32 bit (which I haven't
tried yet). Either way, both installs will try to install
the same service, no? Which one should win?

Pete:

64-bit KFW is not supported by MIT. Secure Endpoints provides support
for 64-bit Windows. Support is available to paying clients.

http://www.secure-endpoints.com/support/kfw.html

KFW does not install any services so there are no conflicts. 32-bit KFW
is required if you are using 32-bit applications that make use of the
Kerberos or GSS libraries. 32-bit KFW is also required if you need
identity management for Kerberos v4 credentials.

If you can provide an installation log that shows the unintended
uninstall to Secure Endpoints, a fix can be produced.

The Upgrade Codes for the 64-bit and 32-bit KFW packages are different
so they really should not be affected one another.

AMD64:
<?define UpgradeCode="6DA9CD86-6028-4852-8C94-452CAC229244"?>

X86:
<?define UpgradeCode="61211594-AAA1-4A98-A299-757326763CC7"?>

Are you absolutely sure that you did not have the 32-bit NSIS installation?
That will be removed by the 64-bit KFW MSI.

Yes. I downloaded:
http://www.secure-endpoints.com/binaries/mit-kfw-3-2-2/kfw-i386-3-2-2.msi
and
http://www.secure-endpoints.com/binaries/mit-kfw-3-2-2/kfw-amd64-3-2-2.msi

from here:

http://www.secure-endpoints.com/#kfw

When you install each of theses, each asks:

Autostart the Network Identity Manager each time you login to Window

That's what I meant by a common service. I assumed this was a Windows
service (and am not sure if it's supplied with the Kerberos install
or part of Windows). I was thinking it was a kerberos supplied
component and it seemed wrong that both 64 bit and 32 bit would
have the same service.

NetIdMgr is not a service. It is a per-session application. Only one
instance, 32-bit or 64-bit,
will execute. First one wins. Shouldn't matter which one does.
