windows 7 64 bit support

[grumbl]

Can you provide a comprehensive answer on windows 7 64 bit support for PL SQL developer? As it is not specifically mentioned, our OA team will not allow for installation/support of the new version (yet). If it is supported, please mention this in the product info on the site.

Additionally, best practice configurations would be helpful.

Our environment consists of Windows XP / Windows 7 clients in a W2K8 domain

Windows 7 64 Bit is supported. You will however need to install a 32 Bit Oracle11g Client. PL/SQL Developer is a 32 Bit application, so it cannot interface with a 64 Bit Oracle Client.

The 32 Bit Oracle Client can communicate with a 64 Bit Server, even on the same machine if necessary. The 32 Bit client can coexist with a 64 Bit Oracle installation when installed in separate Oracle Home directories.
