Is XYP defaulting to 32 bit install?

Post by jaydear »

Is XYP defaulting to a 32 bit install? I want to install it on my new PC with Win11 Pro, yet XYP is pointing to Program Files (x86) folder. I expected that it would look for the "Program Files" folder where all my 64 bit progs have installed. However, on checking my other x64 PC, XYP has in fact installed in the ~x86 folder. :?

Short answer: Yes!
There is no 64-bit version of XY.
A few attempts were made in the past but it would appear that it is not being ported anytime soon.
Search the forum for 64-bit and you will find lots of posts about it.

However, there is no problem with XYP being 32-bit (until MS doesn't support it anymore).

Just on that point... how does one properly phrase a search query for "64-bit" here on this forum? I've tried a few variations that I'm aware of, but I'm dismissed with "64 has been ignored because it's too common". Plus (+) didn't help btw :titter:
