Appserver for 32bit in OpenEdge 12.8

I have a 32-bit GUI on-premises application currently running on OpenEdge 11.7 that uses AppServer. I am planning to upgrade to OpenEdge 12.8 (32-bit) but have noticed that PASOE is only available in the 64-bit version of OpenEdge 12.8. How can I configure AppServer or achieve equivalent functionality in OpenEdge 12.8 (32-bit)

This is somewhat common for Legacy 32bit Progress cleint apps that have been around a long time. Its hard to upgrade all the client software. As long as the Appserver code does not have any 32-bit dependencies then you can install the 32-bit client Networking and associate the client app to prowin32.exe. PASOE being 64bit should not impact your software if (again) you dont have any backend code with 32bit DLLs or controls. The main issue is that you have to manage is both the 32 bit client and 64 bit backend on the same machine if you install the client on the server.

Like you said - PASOE (the only AppServer in OpenEdge 12.8) is only available as a 64 bit product.

If you're client needs to be 32 bit (why?) - you need to install Client Networking or Web Client in 32 bit and the AppServer product in 64 bit. You can install both products on the same machine in parallel directories.

The 32 bit client can access the 64 bit AppServer without limitations.
