Remove PI System Explorer (Legacy 32-bit) from PI AF Client

When PI AF Client is installed, it includes a program called "PI System Explorer (Legacy 32-bit)". Please remove this from PI AF Client. The continued support of 32-bit PI AF SDK makes sense, since 3rd-party programs may still depend on the 32-bit...

Log device information when the Connector receives errors from a device

Currently the Connector logs when it receives errors, but does not print information that can be used to determine which device is reporting the errors. We currently need to perform a wireshark trace to look at the individual packets to determine...
