There is no separate build available for 64-bit windows, use 32-bit one, it should work (with usual limitations, see [nginx for Windows](http://nginx.org/en/docs/windows.html)). Alternatively, you may build it yourself as specified here: > **[Building nginx on the Win32 platform with Visual C](http://nginx.org/en/docs/howto_build_on_win32.html)** Or use your favorite virtual machine to run nginx under your favorite \*nix variant.

Don’t expect high performance or more than 1024 simultaneous connections. > and what about the 32 bits build, does it contain the basic modules + > extras? What “extras” do you mean exactly? Some of nginx modules don’t work properly on windows 7, and, probably, most of 3’rd party modules even won’t compile. wbr, Valentin V. Bartenev ---

Sorry, but what’s wrong with 32’bit version? There’s no difference for your purposes. wbr, Valentin V. Bartenev ---
