Applications that run on Microsoft System Center 2012 Configuration Manager clients have the following runtime requirements.

Managed Code

  • System Center 2012 R2 Configuration Manager client

  • Microsoft .NET Framework version 4

VBScript

  • System Center 2012 R2 Configuration Manager client

  • Windows Script Host

Windows 64-Bit Support

A 32-bit compiled application that uses Configuration Manager SDK interfaces to access Configuration Manager client or Configuration Manager server functionality works when it runs in 32-bit emulation on a 64-bit Windows operating system. However, a 64-bit compiled application that uses Configuration Manager SDK interfaces that access 32-bit Configuration Manager client or Configuration Manager server functionality does not work. Similarly, Configuration Manager SDK scripts do not work when the scripting host is a native 64-bit application. A Configuration Manager SDK script does work if it is called from within a 32-bit scripting host.

The Configuration Manager client has a native 64-bit version that is installed automatically on Windows 64-bit operating systems. Applications that relied on the 32-bit interfaces to be present may need to be re-compiled in a native 64-bit environment to interact with the Configuration Manager client APIs.
