I lost that argument.  Apparently some 64-bit systems can't run 32-bit
applications.  I wanted to just have one setup with a check box
determining which version to install.  That idea was vehemently
rejected.

However, this should work (I haven't tried lately):

.\setup-x86 --arch=x86_64

Assuming you aren't part of the .001% who can't run x86 executables.
