What is the Difference between BBManager.1.50.lite.exe and BBManager.1.50.x86.exe?

Hello,
what is the Difference between BBManager.1.50.lite.exe and BBManager.1.50.x86.exe?

The difference is fundamental.

Originally there were two types of an installer - a Full one and a Light (or lite) one. Full used to install all the drumsets and it weighs at about 350Mb. There was a decision to never distribute full installers, only lite ones. That’s why even the word is now omitted.

So actually all BBManager installers that you will see would be lite ones.

Now x86 is opposed to x64. It is the target processor architecture the code is compiled for.
In short, x86 means the application is built to support old 32-bit processors, and x64 means the application is for newer 64-bit processors.

Mac runs on 64-bit processors only.
You can install either Windows x86 or Windows x64 if your processor is 64-bit.
You can only install Windows x86 if your processor is 32-bit.
You can run 32-bit applications (x86) on your Windows x86 natively.
You can run 64-bit applications (x64) on your Windows x64 natively.
You can run 32-bit applications (x86) on your Windows x64 via a builtin Windows emulator WOWEXEC.
You cannot run 64-bit applications (x64) on Windows x86 at all.

TLDR: All this is completely irrelevant to you, as Mac BBManager can be x64 lite only, and from now on Windows BBManager will be x86 lite only.

okay, thank you for your detailed information.
