Sorry. That's incorrect.1) Program Files -- this is where your 32bit applications are located since even before Win/XP
2) Program Files (x86) while this is the location for the 64bit applications.
Frequently you will find the same application in both locations, which says it can run in either mode.
You need BOTH
Sorry. That's incorrect.
When running 32-bit Windows, there's only a Program Files directory. And yes, that's where all your 32 applications are located.
You seem to have missed or side stepped the heart of my post. The reader should understand Program Files (x86) contains 32-bit apps NOT 64-bit apps as was previously stated1) Program Files -- this is where your 32bit applications are located since even before Win/XP
2) Program Files (x86) while this is the location for the 64bit applications.
