ARM CPU compatible Toolkit

Dunno why, but the more recent versions of toolkit seems to have an arbitrary block on ARM based CPUs (much like the space logic junk) as the only person who seems willing to pick up the phone for existing cbus projects in my area, and because i now use an ARM based laptop, i decided to point claude at my problem and bypass the arch check.

I use a microsoft surface pro 13, this works for me, i cannot promise it will work for you, provided as-is. the following is the write up after about 2 hours of back and forth working out how and/or why it didn't work (from the AI):

Why this installer exists: If you've tried to install C-Bus Toolkit on an ARM-based Windows laptop (Snapdragon/Copilot+ PCs), you'll have hit an error saying it doesn't support your version of Windows. That message is misleading — Toolkit and C-Gate run perfectly fine on these machines through Windows' built-in x64/x86 emulation. The block comes from a single overly-strict setting in the installer itself: it checks whether the CPU is natively x64 and bails on ARM, when it should have checked whether the machine can run x64 software (which ARM Windows can). This is a repackaged copy of the official Schneider installer with that one check corrected — literally two bytes changed in the installer's launcher so it stops refusing to run on ARM. Nothing about C-Bus Toolkit, C-Gate, or any of the actual program files is modified or added; it installs exactly the same software to the same places as the normal installer, it just no longer turns ARM machines away at the door. (Because the file's been altered, its digital signature no longer matches, so Windows SmartScreen may show a warning on first run — that's expected for any modified installer, not a sign of anything malicious.)

works for me, and i'm happy, i'm probably in the minority here with an ARM based laptop, but it irks me that schneider seems to not only ignore ARM, but now actively blocks it, v 1.17 works fine for me, everything after that doesn't, and for no reason (there are even ARM compatible USB drivers for the USB CNI, that i had to install manually, and work)

Just more reasons i moved away from cbus to more modern control systems.

either way, i'll next be having a look at the latest space logic nonsense, that is new, there is absolutely zero reason that shouldn't be compatible, cgate is java and runs on a potato (as long as you limit the heap) "Space logic commission" should too. cgate is the engine to this whole show, the GUI shouldn't be this hard, do better schneider.
