Hail all:
I have a system existing out of:
Hardware:
MSI B460 Tomahawk Mainboard
I5 10600K OC
32GB RAM
MSI RTX 3070 GPU
256GB system SSD (of which 64GB for Swap File/Virtual Memory)
16 TB on HDD Storage
OS:
Windows 10 Professional x64
Issue:
Since programs began to release a bi-x support (where x = x86 or x64) with a single installer (the logic beats me here), these nigh always installed/installs the 32bit version of said program, despite the hardware and OS environment is 100% 64bit.
This irritates me, having Aspergers, since the logic here is inexistent: the program HAS to install the 64bit version when it can, except when you make an exception (though I do not get why one should do this: 32bit programs are hindered by 32bit limitations, such as RAM assigning).
One of these issues, in particular, I have is with the Perfect Disk Pro installer.
This features both versions under a single installer (this installer probably is a container that has both version installer exes inside), but it fails to detect the 64bit environment, thus reverts to 32bit installation.
How do I know?
Well, during the installation, it points to the C:\Program Files (x86) path.
Not something a 64bit program would do, is it.
Question:
Is there a way, through maybe a Batch file command, or creating a reg key (or heck, maybe even the batch file needing the reg key (as in: the batch file orders the installer, but first installs a reg key to allow or enable "forced 64bit installation") to force the damn thing to install the included 64bit version?
If yes, how do I do this?
Thank you very much:
Ben
