Support of XulRunner in 64-bit Windows

Rational® Business Developer supports XulRunner in 64-bit Windows.

Before you begin

Download the XulRunner for Windows 64-bit if you don't have one. Here is the download site link:
http://wiki.mozilla-x86-64.com/Download

XulRunner-24.0.en-US.win64-x86_64 is recommended. Actually, any XulRunner release with version 1.9.2.x, 3.6.x, 10.x or 24.x is supported but it seems that only XulRunner-10.0.10.en-US.win64-x86_64 and XulRunner-24.0.en-US.win64-x86_64 meet our requirements in the download list. If you use XulRunner-10.0.10.en-US.win64-x86_64, Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 runtime also needs to be installed in your machine.
