Help with on-premise Agent failure

JohnSterrett

Is there a required OS version of windows for Change Automation to work with Azure DevOps? My goal is to build and deploy locally on my VM for testing. I am using Azure DevOps for source control and hoping to automate builds on my laptop for testing when I push changes out DevOps for the source control.  My goal is to build and deploy to my local instance of SQL server on my laptop.

I have configured a remote agent and its working on my laptop. I can see builds (fail with the message below) using it and see my source control go to my local drive used for the agent. 

I am using windows 2012 OS and get this interesting error message that stumps me.  Hopefully, someone can help.

Windows Server 2012 is supported:
https://documentation.red-gate.com/sca3/getting-started/requirements

However, you need to use a 64-bit Azure DevOps agent:

Thank you, Sergio. I will double check and make sure I am using x64
