Support for 64-bit windows and Vista is not scheduled for RedMonEE.

Then _PLEASE_ supply pre-release source code to 64 bit developers who can do the work for you.

I've made a product to use internally in our company that uses redmonee. We used it because it can create a pdf with a filename on the command line and not rely on a popup filename entry screen.
Right now I have to re-write redmon to provide this functionality because the current redmonee does not have a 64 bit version, and most of the newer machines we are buying are vista64 now, making the program incompatible.

How long will you be holding back the source?

[rbourque]

I know 64-bit isn't scheduled for RedMonEE but it would be nice if you let us help you. We're using your RedMonEE because of it's additional features and would like to give back some labour by making it 64-bit compatible. At work whenever we buy more powerful machines the majority are coming with Vista-64 pre-installed now which makes everything I've ever written that uses RedMonEE useless.

This forces me to go back to normal RedMon (which can be compiled in 64 bit) and work around the missing features I require such as supplying a filename on the command line.

More and more potential users will be turning away from RedMonEE for similar reasons everyday. By the time you give the source back to the community the community won't want it.

This project had such potential, but lack of a 64 bit compilation and closed source makes it incompatible with the slew of vista64 machines out there.
This forces me to move on to adding the missing features in the original redmon myself and dropping redmonee.

You should listen to the users who are offering to help you. This project is dying.

Whether it is possible to look an source code?
In here there is 64bit a version standard redmon17 - http://www.winimage.com/misc/redmon/

I could not agree more, 64 bit machines are now in wide spread use, and I myself now have the issue that a 32bit to 64bit migration is held back by the lack of 64bit support by RedMon EE. This is a Terminal Services Server on which many users are currently very happlily are reaping the benefits of the availability of this application. This is done indirectly through a third party application.

If the 64bit migration of RedMon EE is not planned, please give others the opportunity to further this project by releasing the source code either through a partnership with forum member rbourque or the others, or just releasing this project as an open source effort.

By the way, we cannot use the regular 64 bits version 17, we have tried that already.
