-------------------------------------

             Summary: Update documentation to reflect 64bit requirement to run Drill on Windows. 
                 Key: DRILL-4239
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DRILL-4239
             Project: Apache Drill
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Documentation
    Affects Versions: 1.3.0, 1.4.0
            Reporter: Peder Jakobsen


Winutils.exe has been compiled to run on the 64 bit version of windows.  For this reason, some part of the documentation that suggest that Drill can run on 32bit Windows must be fixed.  Furthermore, although few user run 64 bit windows these days, it would be helpful to make this requirement more explicit.  In particular, rapid installation of Windows on VirtualBox will often result in 32 bit version being installed by default, since it's the preselected default during installation process.
