Program Files (x86)?

Post by marco »

I installed the 64bit version of VB (AMD64) on a Vista64 host.

I noticed that the program has been installed in the [b]Program Files (x86)[/b] directory, which I understand is intended for 32bit programs.

Shouldn't 64bit VB get installed in the [b]Program Files[/b] directory together with other 64bit stuff?

Is my installation wrong or am I missing something?

FYI- it started doing this in 1.5.2. It was on in 1.5.0.
