As of Infrastructure Agent version 1.71.2 (released December 4, 2025), New Relic has discontinued the creation of 32-bit Windows binaries for the Infrastructure Agent and Native On-Host Integrations.
What Changed
Creation of 32-bit Windows binaries has been discontinued. All releases from version 1.71.2 onward only support x64 Windows binaries.
Why This Change Was Made
This change aligns with Microsoft's EOL date of Windows 10, which was the last supported OS that had earlier been available in a 32-bit x86 version. Our focus remains on supporting modern and secure operating systems.
Impact
- Customers using Windows 10 (32-bit) will no longer be able to upgrade to infrastructure agent versions 1.71.2 or later
- Existing installations of earlier versions will continue to function
- Customers on actively supported Windows versions, including all modern Windows Server OS editions, are already on 64-bit versions
- Customers on any OS that is beyond its vendor's EOL date are expected to upgrade to an OS version that is actively supported
- The old 32-bit binaries created before version 1.71.2 will no longer be covered by New Relic's Support team assistance but will be available for downloading if needed
