 === Running the Server on 64-Bit Windows ===
-To run this OPCDA Server on a 64-bit system you will need to use a 32-bit JRE to run the software. We recommend using an open JRE downloaded as a zip that you can unzip in the directory containing your OPCDA Server or in a simple directory on drive C:. You will need to reference this JRE by editing the run.bat file and changing the path used for the JRE. For example, the default path in the run.bat may be:

+Amazon Corretto will unzip in a folder jdk1.8.0_{current version} for example, version 302 will be in the folder jdk1.8.0_302 . If you unzipped this in your deployment folder, the folder that has the run.bat file, so that you have one self-contained deployment, you would modify the path line to be:
+set path=.\jdk1.8.0_302\bin;%path%
+The java.exe file in that folder must be set to run in compatibility mode.  Right-click and select properties and configure compatibility for XP or Win8:

+The batch file used to start the server must be run in with admin privileges. Details on how to do this can be found [[https://fossbytes.com/batch-file-run-as-administrator-windows/|here]].
+The basic steps are:

+>     Right-click on your batch file.
+>     Click Create Shortcut.
+>     Right-click the shortcut file. Click Properties.
+>     In the Shortcuts tab, click Advanced.
+>     Check the Run As Administrator box.
+>     Click Ok to close the dialog box.
+>     Click on Apply to save the changes.

+> Then you need to use that shortcut to start the software, not the actual batch file.
+When the server starts correctly you will see the message "Register Result 0" in the console window:

+If you reach this stage, but your OPC client still reports that the server is not registered copy this text into a file called "RegisterErgoTechOPCDA.reg"
+<code>
