== Why there are no windows 32-bit extensions available ?==

* Win 32 has a very limited amount of memory available to an application.
* Many registration and segmentation algorithms fail on that platform because they run out of memory, when used with state of large data.
* Some of these failures are just that, some can crash slicer. Even though the "real" failure is caused by overextending the capabilities of the hardware (in a way the users fault), it appears to the user that Slicer does not work.
* If you search the archives of slicer-users there are several such complaints until we started to discourage people to use 32 bit.

		+	== How to manually install an extension ? ==
		+
		+	1) Get revision associated with your install or built Slicer. (Menu -> Help -> About)
		+
		+	2) Download extension matching your Slicer revision. Select operating system, bitness and enter revision on http://slicer.kitware.com/midas3/slicerappstore
		+
		+	3) Extract the archive (zip or tar.gz) in a folder. You should then have a folder like:
		+
		+	/path/to/<slicer_revision>-<os>-<bitness>-<extension_name>-<extension_scm><extension_revision>-YYYY-MM-DD
		+
		+	containing folder like:
		+
		+	lib/Slicer-X.Y/cli-modules
		+	lib/Slicer-X.Y/qt-loadable-modules
		+	lib/Slicer-X.Y/qt-scripted-modules
		+
		+	For more details: [[Documentation/{{documentation/version}}/Developers/DirectoryStructure]]
		+
		+	4) In the Module settings (Menu -> Edit -> Settings), add the path ending with <code>lib/Slicer-X.Y/{cli\|qt-scripted\|qt-loadable}-modules</code>
