I'm not sure what differentiation you're making. My Windows is a 64bit 
Windows, yes, but pretty much all applications are 32 bit. I've not 
found this to make any difference whatsoever in our product installers 
so I'm not sure what difference you're looking for. The installation 
path (i.e., whether it goes into etoys41 or etoys) certainly is no 
different.
