This section describes the software required for JADE development and JADE applications.
The supported Windows operating system versions are:
Windows Server 2016 (from JADE 7.1.09, JADE 2016.0.01, and later)
Windows Server 2012
Windows 10 (from JADE 7.1.06, JADE 2016.0.01, and later)
Windows 8.1
Windows 8
The database server will run only on a 64‑bit version of Windows. Clients can be 32‑bit or 64‑bit.
JADE encodes Unicode characters using the wide‑character‑encoding routines provided by Microsoft Windows.
JADE 2018 is built using Microsoft Visual Studio 2017, which requires the installation of the Microsoft Visual C++ 2017 Redistributables. You must install the x64 redistributables to run a 64‑bit node, and the x86 redistributables to run a 32‑bit node.
Installation of the required C++ runtimes will be done as part of the normal JADE installation, if necessary. Installing this Microsoft redistributable package requires administration privileges.
