TabularEditor
ARM Processor
Description
Have a new Windows Surface Pro with an ARM processor. When I install Tabular Editor 3, it requires the download and installation of Microsoft Windows Desktop Runtime (x64). I installed the (arm64) version of the runtime but still will not allow the application to load.
Tabular Editor 3 Version
3.19.0.6193

TE3 isn’t compiled for the ARM version of the runtime. You should be able to launch the app by just having the regular x64 version of the runtime installed.
Thanks for the response. The x64 installation fails during the tabular 3 installation routine.
@DBojsen you had some experience with running TE3 on an ARM machine. Could you chime in here? Thanks!
I'm very interested in this now. I was thinking of getting a Surface Pro soon (I've had two and loved them) but found out that they are all Snapdragon (ARM) powered. If TE/3 is an issue, I will definitely have to go with another device.
Hi @kw6575-1991 + @edhans
As Daniel mentioned, I have been running TE3 on a M1 Max Macbook Pro for some time, in a Windows 11 for ARM VM inside of Parallels - with no issues as all.
Since it is an x64/x86 application (at least for the time being), you'll need that version of .Net to run it. You can't use the ARM version of .Net to run a x64 application, just like you can't use the x86 version.
We recently welcomed a new colleague, who was given a Surface Laptop 7 with the Snapdragon X Elite processor, and as a test we just did a fresh install on it. When prompted about the prerequisites, you can just allow the TE3 installer to install it, and even though we got an error from the .Net install, everything worked as intended afterwards.
We’re able to run Tabular Editor 3 on the Surface Laptop 7, but there’s a noticeable difference in performance compared to our older Dell XPS machines with Intel i7 processors.
Are there any plans to release an ARM-native version of Tabular Editor in the near future?
@grandted yes, a native ARM build is planned, but unfortunately we can't provide a timeline yet.
As this is a new request for how to install Tabular Editor, we will move it to the ideas section.
