There have been some reports of issues using calibre2opds on Windows 64-bit systems. As it is purely Java based the calibre2opds program SHOULD be OS independent. However since the installer fails to run on such systems (hence the ZIP package) it is always possible this assumption is false.

As it tends to only be the users who are having problems that provide much of the feedback, I am looking for feedback on any users who have managed to get the calibre2opds 2.3 release to run successfully on Windows 7 64-bit edition (probably having to use the new ZIP package to get it installed) or even any of the other 64-bit editions. The Launchpad site stats show that a lot of users download the software but one never knows if they are actualy managing to use it, and if so in what environment.

If you are using it OK then please let me know whether your calibre library is on a local drive or on a network share (typically a NAS device). Any other special details about your use would be useful. Not having such a Windows 64-bit system myself I cannot run any tests myself, so if there are users who ARE using calibre2opds successfully on such system then it is useful to know as then the problem probably lies elsewhere in the code itself.
